Abstract
Sporozoites of Cryptosporidium parvum were examined after gliding upon glass microscope slides using monoclonal antibodies to the 15 and 25 kDa surface molecules and immunogold-silver enhancement. Both antibodi es bound to surface antigen deposited as trails behind parasites, sugg esting that both surface molecules are involved in substrate attachmen t.
