Bats are important reservoirs and spreaders of pathogens. is a globally important protozoan that infects humans and other mammals with considerable public health burden, particularly on the child development. Based on genetic variation and host specificity, is categorized into eight genotypes/assemblages A-H. Assemblages A and B are widespread globally and are associated with human and animal disease. There is evidence of in the bat feces from diverse geographic regions, but the assemblages are unknown, which is a key point for the One Health view. Here, we successfully amplified the BG/GDH/DIS3/HCMP2/HCMP3 targets of from five bat species captured in the Brazilian Amazon biome revealing the presence of zoonotic assemblages A and B in the feces of these flying mammals. Our study reveals that bats may play a role in transmission of zoonotic , at least in this biome.

Although , and some species are frequently involved in neonatal calf diarrhoea (NCD), detailed studies on their interactions are scarce. Therefore, a cross-sectional study including faecal samples from 404 diarrhoeic calves aged 0-30 days was performed. oocysts and cysts were detected by immunofluorescence antibody test and positive samples were molecularly characterized.

Article Synopsis
- Cryptosporidium and Giardia are common protozoan parasites affecting the digestive systems of various animals, leading to economic losses in animal breeding and posing public health risks.
- Recent studies identified numerous genotypes of these pathogens, prompting research into their prevalence in water buffaloes in Türkiye, where previous research was limited.
- The study found Cryptosporidium spp. in 3.92% and Giardia duodenalis in 0.98% of water buffalo stool samples, with C. ryanae being the most prevalent species, showing high genetic similarity among samples.

Background: Giardia duodenalis is a pathogenic protozoan responsible for gastrointestinal infections in various hosts, including rabbits. Understanding its epidemiology, genetic diversity and zoonotic implications is vital for public health and veterinary medicine. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to synthesize global data on the prevalence of G.

Introduction: Intestinal microeukaryote parasites are major contributors to the burden of diarrhoea in humans and domestic animals, but their epidemiology in wildlife is not fully understood. We investigated the frequency, genetic diversity and zoonotic potential of protists of animal and public health significance in free-ranging grey wolf (Canis lupus) populations in south-western Europe.
Methods: Individually formed faecal samples collected from necropsied wolves or scat trails in Italy (n = 47), Portugal (n = 43) and Spain (n = 225) during the period 2011-2023 were retrospectively analysed using molecular (PCR and Sanger sequencing) methods.
