Abstract

A recent review by Brendon King and Paul Monis once again puts Cryptosporidium oocysts under the spotlight. Why is this tough transmission stage so troublesome now? And are future environments likely to assist or hinder its apparent ubiquity? Here, we explore further the fascination and challenge engendered by this parasite transmission stage.
