Cryptosporidium: After a hundred years

A hundred years after its discovery and after almost three decades of intense research, Cryptosporidium, in many ways, remains enigmatic. Taxonomically, it belongs to phylum Apicomplexa and like other enteric coccidian of vertebrates, it has a monoxenous life cycle that is primarily completed within...
