“…gum boots, waterproof clothes, etc) when handling affected calves is essential for preventing the infection of human beings with cryptosporidia. Outbreaks of human cryptosporidiosis associated with an epizootic in calves had been reported (Reif and others 1989), and it is estimated that about one out of every six human cryptosporidiosis cases come from animals, with calves (both beef and dairy) being the most common animal sources (Cacciò and Putignani 2014). …”

Neonatal calf diarrhoea can have a severe impact on health and growth of the individual affected. It also leads to significant economic losses in herds with high disease incidence. This case report documents the investigation and follow-up of a dairy herd with increased incidence of neonatal diarrhoea and scours-related mortality of calves. It also reflects how managing the expansion of a herd inappropriately can cause several losses, particularly in young stock. Treatment of individual sick animals, corrective and preventive measures are also discussed. It is also highlighted that a continuous monitoring programme of the progress of the herd and checking that recommended practices continue once the incidence of diarrhoea decreases is vital for preventing a recurrence of a following outbreak.

“…Previously, all reported cases of direct zoonotic transmission of cryptosporidiosis were caused by C. parvum. These cases were a result of individuals either caring for Cryptosporidium-infected calves or contacting infected calves or lambs during farm visits (3,4,9,10,13,14,17). In this study, the index child, her sibling, and the household dog were all infected with C. canis, a cryptosporidium commonly found in dogs but only occasionally found in children (12,18).…”
