Abstract

In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Wilke et al. (2019) describe an air liquid interface culture system supporting the complete life cycle of Cryptosporidium, while Sateriale et al. (2019) report an immunocompetent mouse model facilitating vaccination-induced protection. Together, these studies represent a powerful toolbox for Cryptosporidium research.
