感染

隱孢子蟲與瘧原蟲弓形蟲皆為頂複門的寄生蟲,有別於後兩者,隱孢子蟲的生活史中不需中間宿主[2]。隱孢子蟲病多為短期、急性的疾病,感染後隱孢子蟲可生存在人類的腸道長達五週,造成腹瀉等症狀[1]。在體外隱孢子蟲以卵囊的形式存在,對環境的抗性很高,進入人體後即可感染小腸上皮組織。造成人類隱孢子蟲病的物種大多是小隱孢子蟲人隱胞子蟲英語Cryptosporidium hominis兩種,不過犬隱孢子蟲C. canis)、貓隱孢子蟲C. felis)、火雞隱胞子蟲C. meleagridis)與鼠隱孢子蟲英語Cryptosporidium muris也可能感染人類[2]免疫缺陷者被感染的症狀一般較嚴重,但免疫正常者也可能被感染[2]

基因組

2004年,小隱孢子蟲基因組被完整定序,發現其線粒體中不含有DNA[3]
