Very excited to share that our article on the role of Cryptosporidium CDPK5 in male gametogenesis and virulence is online Cell Reports. Read here about CDPK5 function in male gamete egress and identification of its potential substrates.

Boris Striepen How deadly parasites choose to be male penntoday.upenn.edu/news/penn-vet-…

Our article on transcriptional control of the Cryptosporidium life cycle out today in @nature. Tremendous body of work by Katelyn Walzer, defining (among many other things) how parasites choose to be male. Read the paper at nature.com/articles/s4158…

And our first ever lab manuscript is published!! 🥳💪🏽 here our talented postdoc Helene Borrmann reflects on how tissue biology changes across the day and its impact on pathogens.

I was just informed by a very stern looking Imed Bouchrika and his company that among US microbiologists they rank me 777th. Is that good or bad news? 777 sounds like a lucky number. It appears that Imed himself is listed on pubmed twice. So I can’t be last on his silly list. 🤪

Crypto is new COVID in UK? Thankfully Nature Rev Immunol and Sateriale Lab have been prescient in their forward looking views on this parasite. Boris Striepen

This tortoise understood it can go much faster with the help of a vehicle: it also learned how to make effective turns.
