Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of Cryptosporidium in cattle and sheep from the North Pioneer mesoregion of the state of Paraná. For this, 317 stool samples were collected from cattle and sheep on 16 properties in six municipalities in the North Pioneer mesoregion of Paraná. For detection of Cryptosporidium species, molecular analysis was performed using nested-PCR techniques targeting the 18S rRNA gene. Of the 37 beef cows and 115 calves analyzed, four (10.8%) and 14 (12.2%), respectiv… Show more

“…On the other hand, it is expected that in dairy calves, which are commonly confined, the infection is more common compared to beef calves, which are kept in more open areas (McAllister, Olson, Fletch, Wetzstein, & Entz, 2005), such as the calves included in the present study. In this context, Holsback et al (2018) have reported that dairy calves were 2.66 times more likely to be infected with Cryptosporidium than beef calves from Paraná state, Southern Brazil. Furthermore, the infection rate observed in the present study (21.10%) was higher when compared with that observed in the study conducted by Oliveira et al (2007), among apparently healthy calves (10%) from beef calves in the state of Mato Grosso.…”

“…Cryptosporidium has been recognised as a cause of diarrhoea in suckling calves in some South American countries (Del Coco et al, 2008;Meireles, 2010;Díaz-Lee et al, 2011;Pulido-Medellín et al, 2014;Holsback et al, 2018). However, the impact of bovine cryptosporidiosis in this continent is not well documented and data on the genetic diversity of C. parvum are limited.…”
