Abstract :
Members of the genus Cryptosporidium are small coccidian protozoan parasites that infect the microvillous region of epithelial cells in the digestive and respiratory tracts of vertebrates. Several species of Cryptosporidium have been described and appear to be specific for a class of vertebrates: C. parvum, C. muris, C. felis, and C. wrairi infect mammals, C. baileyi and C. meleagridis infect birds, C. serpentis infects reptiles, and C. nasorum infects tropical fish.Fecal samples from 200 native turky randomly selected from 30 regions in Dezful, Iran, were examined to investigate the prevalence of Cryptosporidium infection. Cryptosporidium oocysts were identified by using the Ziehl-Neelsen modified staining technique in 4 of 200 turky . Overall prevalence of infection was 2%, Both sexes of turky were infected with Cryptosporidium parasites, but prevalences were higher in male.
