“…Cryptosporidium muris is well known to have broad host specificity. In addition to various rodent species, natural C. muris infections have been documented for pigs, Bactrian camels, giraffes, dogs, cats, nonhuman primates, seals, bilbies, and tawny frogmouth (3,16,17,20,22,26,27,29,32,34,37,38,40,44). In contrast, C. andersoni is mostly a parasite of cattle, having been found only occasionally in other animals such as Bactrian camels, sheep, and goats.…”
