Abstract:

Cryptosporidiosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Cryptosporidium. Genomics plays an important role in the molecular biology of Cryptosporidium such as the complex life cycle process. Genome resequencing of Cryptosporidium and genome comparison of different Cryptosporidium species can reveal the genetic evolution of Cryptosporidium species and the formation mechanism of diversity. This paper reviews the progress of Cryptosporidium genomics, which is of great significance for the prevention and control of Cryptosporidium.

Key words: Cryptosporidium, genomics, zoonotic, research progress
