Abstract :

Cryptosporidium is a protozoan parasite that can cause mainly gastrointestinal diseases in humans and animals. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of Cryptosporidium in ruminants in Kurdistan province.The present study was applied and random For this purpose, a total of 239 fecal samples from 75 sheep, 43 goats and 121 cows At different ages of less than 1 year, 1 to 3 years and 3 years and older in both sexes, for staining and observation of oocysts. To examine the presence of parasites, all samples were stained by Zill Nielsen method and examined microscopically. After analyzing the collected data, the findings showed that the prevalence of cryptosporidiosis in ruminants in Kurdistan province is 15.06% of the tested samples. Also, the prevalence of cryptosporidiosis in Kurdistan province did not show a significant difference compared to age, sex and geographical extent..(P < 0/05)The results show that the prevalence of cryptosporidiosis in ruminants in Kurdistan province is consistent with other studies in this regard. To reduce this prevalence, anti-parasitic health and prevention programs can be used.
