Abstrakt: The article discusses the role of parasites in neoplastic processes in humans and animals. It explores the ability of parasites, particularly Cryptosporidium parvum, to induce digestive cancer, and cites the potential relationship between the development of neoplastic changes in host tissues and other parasitic infections. It also describes the changes in the gene expression patterns of cancer cells and the prevalence of crytosporidiosis, which is caused by an Apicomplexan protozoa of the genus of Cryptosporidium.
