Check out our new Spotlight article @TrendsParasitol, where we showcase the amazing Malaria Cell Atlas project lead by @marakat @sangerinstitute

Registration and abstract submission is now open for the 2nd Biennial Cryptosporidium Meeting is now open. Deadline April 1st: eventbrite.co.uk/e/2nd-biennial… Submit your abstract by Feb 15th. See you in Edinburgh May 24th-26th, 2026!

Cryptosporidium genetics really works! Latest cross explains why tb drug failed in crypto clinical trial. Widespread genomic heterogeneity at the type II NAD(P)H dehydrogenase locus predisposes Cryptosporidium to clofazimine resistance @millseba biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Clearly the ⁦@SaterialeLab⁩ is on a nice roll with another terrific screening paper in Cryptosporidium: Targeted CRISPR screens reveal genes essential for Cryptosporidium survival in the host intestine | Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146…

@erik_zupa @MBLBoP What a great summer that was 🥰🥹 hope y’all are having a wonderful time this year!!

So proud of this work finally out! We examined antigenic variation at single-cell level and found a lot of unexpected diversity. Make sure to check it out and, if you are at #BioMalPar this week, don’t miss my talk on Thursday #EMBLMalaria

Go and read this awesome new paper in @cellhostmicrobe from the @SaterialeLab on how Cryptosporidium manipulates its host cell @TrendsParasitol @BSPparasitology #microvilli sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Cryptosporidium modifies intestinal microvilli through an exported virulence factor! (full thread in the other place) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Yet another study showing the poor efficacy of currently available cryptosporidiosis treatment. We urgently need better drugs! Effect of Nitazoxanide and Probiotic Treatment on Bangladeshi Children with Cryptosporidiosis in AJTMH ajtmh.org/view/journals/…

Christmas gift - not sure if my girlfriend is trolling my job or approving of my love for parasites, but either way I love it 😃

Please consider donating to the new Roland A. Cooper Award to support parasitologists from endemic areas to attend international parasitology conferences. Find information and donate link at socapar.org/home/donate @ASTMH @BSPparasitology @AmSocParasit @AS_Para @LlinasLab

Very proud of our new @TrendsParasitol review on the complexities of ApiAP2 regulation in Plasmodium falciparum. Building on the legendary reviews by @Painter_Lab (2010) and @M4774R14 (2019)!! cell.com/trends/parasit…

Happy Halloween 🎃 💩 @striepenlab

Welcome back! VEuPathDB resources are back online today! We will continue to provide bioinformatics services under a new organizational structure. Read more here: #future" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">veupathdb.org/veupathdb/app/…

So proud of ⁦@millseba⁩ Sebastian Shaw and his great work on Cryptosporidium crosses to understand parasite persistence.

It’s so good to be back ☺️

It appears #NIAID will shutter the genome data base we all use daily. This strikes me as a significant mistake that may well endanger much of our global progress. @BSPparasitology @AS_Para @ASTMH @TrendsParasitol @AmSocParasit @parasitesrule @PiParasitology

Please RT! The Pardy Lab is hiring! Looking for graduate students who are interested in learning about the role of IFN-γ in intestinal immunity. Great opportunity to be a part of a new lab from the beginning! Projects, contact, and more info below! inrs.ca/en/research/pr…

Read all about the CD4+ T cell response to Cryptosporidium from @iancohn graduate work in our new paper in @JExpMed. Out today! Sending pathogenesis factors into the host cell comes at a price: you get noticed as an antigen.

Why is parasite sex sexy? academic.oup.com/jid/article/do… "Understanding parasite sex is at the very heart of understanding Cryptosporidium and how it continuously adapts to its changing hosts. Parasite sex also offers a powerful experimental tool for discovery" @JIDJournal @striepenlab

Our article on transcriptional control of the Cryptosporidium life cycle out today in @nature. Tremendous body of work by @DrKatelynWalzer, defining (among many other things) how parasites choose to be male. Read the paper at nature.com/articles/s4158…
