ABSTRACT:
A method for controlling infections caused by Cryptosporidium parvum. The method comprises using protease inhibiting compounds, preferably serine protease inhibitors, to inhibit excystation, invasion, and parasite maturation and development. The method is directed to therapeutic treatment of mammals, such as humans, exposed to C. parvum, and additionally as a prophylactic treatment in immunocompromised subjects at high risk for contracting cryptosporidiosis.
