Cryptosporidium parvum is an enteric protozoan parasite that has emerged as a major cause of diarrhea, malnutrition, and gastroenteritis and poses a potential bioterrorism threat. C. parvum synthesizes guanine nucleotides from host adenosine in a streamlined pathway that relies on inosine5′-monophosphatedehydrogenase (IMPDH). We have previously identified several parasite-selective C. parvum IMPDH
