WANYIRI,1ROBERTA M. O’CONNOR,1MICAHEL J. BLACKMAN,2KAMI KIM,3HONORINE D.

___Cryptosporidium parvum is an enteric apicomplexan parasite that causes diarrheal disease worldwide, particularly in immunocompromised hosts. Currently, there is no consistently effective drug or vaccine available. Cryptosporidium gp40/15, is a glycoprotein that is proteolytically cleaved to yield the mature glycopeptides gp40 and gp15, both of which are implicated in attachment and invasion to host cells. Previously, we reported that C. parvum expresses a subtilisin-like serine protease activity with furin-type specificity that cleaves recombinant gp40/15 into gp40 and gp15.
