We recently published a new paper detailing the use of our Short tandem-repeat (STR) mining tool, BlooMine, to show cattle have higher rates of Cryptosporidium parvum polyclonality than humans. A result which hints at underlying diversification mechanics.

Investigating within-host population diversity of Cryptosporidium parvum using BlooMine - BMC Genomics
Investigating multiplicity-of-infection (MOI) in pathogen populations is central to understanding within-host evolutionary dynamics. In Cryptosporidium parvum, MOI may play a pivotal role in diversifi...
