Cryptosporidium meleagridis strain:TU1867 Genome sequencing
Cryptosporidium species are important waterborne pathogens that cause diarrheal disease outbreaks worldwide. Although the genomes of C. parvum and C. hominis have been described, little is known about the genes of C. meleagridis. The goal of this study was to determine the sequence of the C. meleagridis genome.
