Abstract EN
The objective of this study was to record the prevalence rate of Cryptosporidium and to determine the Cryptosporidium spp in cattle in different parts of Baghdad province.
A total number of 100 fecal samples from different age groups were collected.
Conventional method using modified Ziehl-Neelsen for staining fecal smears and molecular techniques for detection the prevalence and determines the species of Cryptosporidium that cause infection.
The overall prevalence of infection with Cryptosporidium was 21% (21/100) by conventional method; nested PCR was done that targeting 18S rRNA gene on the same samples in which Cryptosporidium DNA identified in 38 samples (38%).
Four species of Cryptosporidium in cattle were detected for the first time in Baghdad province: C.
parvum (6/10), C.
andersoni (2/10), C.
bovis (1/10) and C.
ryanae (1/10).
The determination and characterization of Cryptosporidium spp in cattle was very important to avoid the infection to other animals and handlers and for applying control programs.
