Article Synopsis
- Cryptosporidium spp. and Giardia duodenalis are foodborne parasites that can cause diarrheal diseases in humans and animals, with limited research on their prevalence in Ningxia.
- A study of 208 dairy calf stool samples showed a 13% prevalence of cryptosporidiosis and 1.9% prevalence of giardiasis, identifying various species and subtypes of Cryptosporidium and a single genotype of Giardia.
- The presence of zoonotic genotypes indicates a risk of transmission to humans, highlighting the need for vigilance to mitigate potential outbreaks and protect public and animal health.
Purpose: Ticks are dangerous ectoparasites for humans and other animals, and tick-borne pathogens of Bactrian camels have been epidemiologically surveyed in Gansu Province, China. We aimed to determine the current distribution of tick-borne pathogens among Bactrian camels in Gansu during August 2013 using molecular tools.
Methods: All ticks underwent morphological identification.
