Article Synopsis
- Cryptosporidiosis, caused by a protozoan parasite, was studied in 1,115 ruminants (cattle, sheep, goats) in Lorestan province, Iran, revealing a 7.17% overall infection rate.
- Infection rates were 9.07% in cattle, 5.80% in sheep, and 6.18% in goats, with no significant geographical or climatic differences observed.
- The study concludes that although the overall prevalence is low, cryptosporidiosis is a zoonotic disease that can impact both ruminants and humans under certain conditions.
