“…Postweaned calves were mostly infected with C. bovis, C. andersoni and C. ryanae (Fayer et al 2010). Other studies in China, India, Georgia, Nigeria and western North Dakota however, have reported that C. bovis was the most common species found in pre-weaned calves (Feng et al 2007;Feltus et al 2008;Maikai et al 2011). A recent study in Nigeria reported that there were no significant differences (P > 0·05) in Cryptosporidium infection rates by sex, herd location, management system, breed of calves, or fecal consistency but that calves 180 days or younger had a higher infection rate of Cryptosporidium than older calves (P = 0·034) and that younger calves also had higher occurrence of C. bovis and C. ryanae (P = 0·022) (Maikai et al 2011).…”

SUMMARYCryptosporidiumis an important enteric parasite that is transmitted via the fecal-oral route, water and food. Humans, wildlife and domestic livestock all potentially contributeCryptosporidiumto surface waters. Most species ofCryptosporidiumare morphologically indistinguishable and can only be identified using molecular tools. Over 24 species have been identified and of these, 7Cryptosporidiumspecies/genotypes are responsible for most human cryptosporidiosis cases. In Australia, relatively few genotyping studies have been conducted. SixCryptosporidiumspecies (C. hominis,C. parvum,C. meleagridis,C. fayeri,C. andersoniandC. bovis)have been identified in humans in Australia. However, little is known about the contribution of animal hosts to human pathogenic strains ofCryptosporidiumin drinking water catchments. In this review, we focus on the available genotyping data for native, feral and domestic animals inhabiting drinking water catchments in Australia to provide an improved understanding of the public health implications and to identify key research gaps.

“…However, more comprehensive epidemiological studies are needed to elucidate accurately the circulation of Cryptosporidium in farms in this country. Moreover, further subtyping of parasite isolates using highly polymorphic markers will be very useful for the study of the worldwide distribution of Cryptosporidium species subtypes in livestock (Feng et al, 2007;Thompson et al, 2007;Trotz-Williams et al, 2006;Xiao et al, 2007).…”

Summary :1,001 faecal samples were obtained from 89 sheep (lambs and adult), 184 goats, 190 horses, 178 rabbits, 110 camels, 200 broiler chicken and 50 turkeys housed in farms from different localities in Tunisia. All samples were analysed for Cryptosporidium oocysts by microscopic examination of smears stained by modified Ziehl Neelsen technique. The parasite was detected in ten lambs and adult sheep (11.2 %) and nine broiler chicken (4.5 %). Molecular characterization, performed in four animals, identified C. bovis in three lambs and C. meleagridis in one broiler chicken. This work is the first report on Cryptosporidium in farm animals in Tunisia. Résumé
