This study investigates the role of integrins in T cell trafficking and resistance to Cryptosporidium parvum, finding that integrin L is critical for T cell-mediated control of infection while 4β7 is not essential.

This study uses single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze how intestinal epithelial cells respond to Cryptosporidium infection and IFN-gamma, showing delayed parasite reduction with cytokine treatment.

The paper shows that dendritic cells are essential for CD8+ T cell responses to Cryptosporidium effectors, which are secreted by the parasite.
