Molecular characterisation of Cryptosporidium isolates from pre-weaned calves in Romania: Is there an actual risk of zoonotic infections?

Diarrheic fecal samples from 258 pre-weaned calves (1–30 day-old) from 9 dairy farms located in Banat region, Romania, were microscopically examined for the presence of Cryptosporidium oocysts. Overall, 65 (25%) samples were found positive. A higher percent of infection was recorded in calves aged b...

Zusammenfassung:	Diarrheic fecal samples from 258 pre-weaned calves (1–30 day-old) from 9 dairy farms located in Banat region, Romania, were microscopically examined for the presence of Cryptosporidium oocysts. Overall, 65 (25%) samples were found positive. A higher percent of infection was recorded in calves aged between 8 and 14 days compared with other age categories (1–7, 8–14, 15–21 and 22–30 days; p
