Abstract

ABSTRACT Apicomplexan Cryptosporidium parasites infect a wide range of vertebrate hosts. While some species are limited to a single host group, such as Cryptosporidium baileyi , which infects chickens, other species of this genus, such as C. parvum , infect a wide range of mammalian species from mice to humans. During an investigation of Cryptosporidium infection in cattle on a farm in northern Poland, we identified an infection caused by C. felis , in addition to known infections with C. muris and C. parvum . This new infection was identified based on the size of the oocysts (mean size, 4.3 ± 0.4 μm; range, 3.5 to 5.0 μm), as well as by analysis of the molecular sequence of the variable region of the small-subunit rRNA. This finding demonstrates the complex host specificity and circulation in the environment of Cryptosporidium species.
