Abstract
•Cryptosporidium parvum infection causes downregulation of CDH3 and LOXL4 genes in host intestinal epithelial cells.•A parasite RNA Cdg7_FLc_1000 is recruited to the promoter regions of both CDH3 and LOXL4 gene loci following infection.•Cdg7_FLc_1000 promotes PRDM1/G9a-mediated H3K9 methylation associated with trans-suppression of CDH3, but not LOXL4.
