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.

Department of Medical Laboratory Sciences, College of Health Sciences, University of Duhok, Iraq.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the prevalence of intestinal protozoan infections among children in Duhok Province, Iraq, from October 2022 to May 2023, involving 740 pediatric patients.
- A total of 205 children (27.7%) tested positive for infections, with the highest rates found in the 5-9 age group, and significant variations in prevalence noted among different age categories.
- The findings indicate that amoebiasis and cryptosporidiosis are more common than previously reported in Iraq, while giardiasis occurred at lower rates, highlighting the need for improved public health measures.

Background: Campylobacter, nontyphoidal Salmonella, Cryptosporidium, and Giardia cause an estimated 1 million cases of domestically acquired waterborne diseases annually in the United States. Acute symptoms can include diarrhea and vomiting; however, these illnesses can result in longer term complications such as reactive arthritis, Guillan Barré syndrome and death, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. Precipitation and drought can plausibly increase the risk of enteric infections, but consensus in the literature is lacking.
