Summary: This study presents a whole-genome study of Cryptosporidium hominis, a major cause of diarrhea in low- and middle-income countries. The study identifies two distinct lineages of C. hominis, with one lineage predominantly found in low-income countries in Africa and Asia, and another lineage found in high-income countries in Europe, North America, and Oceania. The study also detects genomic regions of introgression between the lineages, leading to high diversity and divergence in potential virulence genes.

Fasciola Species Introgression: Just a Fluke or Something More?

Nichola Eliza Davies Calvani et al.

Summary: Global pandemic events have brought renewed attention to viral and bacterial zoonotic diseases, but parasitic zoonoses are often overlooked. In the case of fasciolosis, a lack of appropriate detection tools has led to the expansion of parasite sympatry and increased hybridization between species. The increased demand for animal-derived protein is changing the dynamics of these zoonotic parasites.

Comparative genomics revealed adaptive admixture in Cryptosporidium hominis in Africa

Swapnil Tichkule et al.

Summary: Cryptosporidiosis is a significant issue in African children, impacting mortality, nutrition, and growth. The dominant pathogen, Cryptosporidium hominis, exhibits complex distribution of subtypes in Africa. Whole-genome analysis of 26 isolates revealed a metapopulation structure, with local transmission driving spread and evidence of hybridization between geographic lineages. Genes with high nucleotide diversity, encoding extracellular proteins and signal peptides, show signs of positive or balancing selection.

The enteric pathogen Cryptosporidium parvum exports proteins into the cytosol of the infected host cell

Jennifer E. Dumaine et al.

Summary: The parasite Cryptosporidium is responsible for diarrheal disease in young children, causing profound changes in infected cells. Members of the Cryptosporidium parvum MEDLE protein family are translocated into the cytosol of infected cells, triggering an ER stress response.
