  • Title: Occurrence of Cryptosporidium andersoni in Brazilian cattle.
    Author: Fiuza VR, Almeida AJ, Frazão-Teixeira E, Santín M, Fayer R, Oliveira FC.
    Journal: J Parasitol; 2011 Oct; 97(5):952-3. PubMed ID: 21526922.
    Abstract:
    Feces were collected from 68 dairy cattle, 1 to 12 mo of age, on 12 farms in the municipality of Campos dos Goytacazes, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and examined for the presence of Cryptosporidium sp. All samples were subjected to molecular analysis by polymerase chain reaction (nested PCR) of the 18S rRNA. Four positive samples (4.54%) were sequenced and identified as Cryptosporidium andersoni. This species represents a risk for Brazilian cattle because infection can affect cattle productivity. Moreover, C. andersoni is considered a zoonotic species.
