Where Is Cryptosporidium Population Genomics Going Next: The Challenge and the Promise
Forty years have passed since species of Cryptosporidium, single-cellular protozoan parasites were first recognized as significant human pathogens (as opportunistic pathogens in AIDS patients), and more than 10 years since these enteric food and waterborne...
