Clinical and morphological investigation in cryptosporidium enteritis in calves
Absztrakt
Cryptosporidium is an enteric protozoan parasite, which causes gastrointersinal infection
in animals and humans. It has a worldwide prevalence. The most notable strain of the
species is Cryptosporidium Parvum, which is the leading cause of cryptosporidiosis in
preweaned calves. A systematic review of the literature review was performed to
investigate the clinical and morphological investigation in cryptosporidium enteritis in
calves. Searches were completed initially used the PubMed and MedLine search engines,
with an aim to identifying studies of Cryptosproidium across multiple continents to explore
it’s presentation and spread in calves. The review then explored methods of identification
for the genus, including distinguishing between species.
