| description | <b>Aim:</b> This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of Cryptosporidium sp. in calves with diarrhea in University of Selcuk, Department of Parasitology between 2005 and 2009.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> Faecal samples were collected from 1-35 days old 368 calves. Faecal samples were stained with Modified Ziehl-Neelsen staining technique, they were examined under light microscope for the presence of Cryptosporidium sp. oocysts.<p>
<b>Results:</b> Out of 368 faecal samples, 145 (39.4%) were found to be infected with Cryptosporidium sp. oocysts. Cryptosporidium sp. oocysts were seen in 1-10 days age calves at the highest level (46%) and 11-20 days age at the lowestlevel (31%).<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> C. parvum should be considered in the treatment of diarrhea in neonatal calves. |
