Discussion

Molecular analysis identified a 15.94% prevalence of Cryptosporidium in cattle, highlighting age-related infection rates.

A total of 15.94% of cattle fecal samples tested positive for cryptosporidium, indicating notable prevalence.
Infection rates were highest in calves under 2 months of age, reaching 33.33%, with a decline in older animals.
Molecular identification detected several species, including C. parvum, C. andersoni, and C. bovis, in various combinations.
These findings emphasize the need for improved epidemiological control measures for cryptosporidium infections in cattle.

Yan et al. (2025) studied this question.
