<i>Cryptosporidium parvum</i> is an intracellular protozoan that can cause severe diarrhea in humans and various mammals. Results of a comparative genomic analysis indicated that genes encoding two <i>C. parvum</i>-specific insulinase-like proteases (INS19 and INS20), <i>cgd6_5510</i> and <i>cgd6_5520</i>, are lost in many <i>Cryptosporidium</i> species. In this study, we provided evidence indicating that <i>cgd6_5510</i> and <i>cgd6_5520</i> are fragments of a full gene (<i>cgd6_5520-5510</i>) ...[more]
