Host cytoskeletal rearrangements are an essential yet poorly understood component of Cryptosporidium invasion. Guérin et al. demonstrate that actin rearrangements occur immediately during adherence and capture a unique mechanism of invasion using live-cell imaging. The authors identify a parasite-secreted effector, ROP1, recruited by a host protein, LMO7, involved in pathogenesis.
