What are the Challenges in Treating Sporozoite-Related Infections?
One of the main challenges in treating sporozoite-related infections like malaria is the development of drug resistance. Plasmodium species have shown resistance to multiple antimalarial drugs, complicating treatment protocols. Additionally, the intracellular nature of these parasites makes them difficult to target without affecting the host cells. For Cryptosporidium, there is a lack of highly effective treatments, particularly for immunocompromised individuals.
