Deskripsi
Cryptosporidium infection can cause severe diarrhea with limited treatment options available. Here, Lunde et al. perform a drug repositioning screen with a library of benzoxaboroles and identify AN7973 as potent inhibitor of intracellular parasite development with good efficacy in murine and neonatal dairy calf disease models.
