Differential evolution of repetitive sequences in Cryptosporidium parvum and Cryptosporidium hominis

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2006
Cryptosporidium parvum and Cryptosporidium hominis are two morphologically identical species of Apicomplexan protozoa infecting humans. Although the genomes of these species are 97% identical, their host range is strikingly different. C. parvum infects humans and animals and is primarily a zoonotic infection, whereas C.

Infection With Cryptosporidium hominis Provides Incomplete Protection of the Host Against Cryptosporidium parvum [PDF]

The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2012
Cryptosporidium hominis and Cryptosporidium parvum, which infect humans equally, are genetically/antigenically almost identical. It remains unclear, however, whether infection with C. hominis protects against C. parvum. Gnotobiotic piglets were used to investigate cross-protection. After ≥3 days of recovery from C.

Common occurrence of Cryptosporidium hominis in horses and donkeys

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2016
Extensive genetic variation is observed within the genus Cryptosporidium and the distribution of Cryptosporidium species/genotypes in humans and animals appears to vary by geography and host species. To better understand the genetic diversity of Cryptosporidium spp.
