Abstract
Cryptosporidium is an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite that is a major cause of diarrheal illness worldwide. Cryptosporidium primarily infects the distal small intestine. Immunocompetent hosts control and eliminate the infection, which typically causes acute, self-limited watery diarrheaThis publication has 121 references indexed in Scilit:
