Abstract excerpt
Cryptosporidium spp., Giardia duodenalis, and Enterocytozoon bieneusi are globally ubiquitous pathogens. However, little is known about the occurrence and distribution of Cryptosporidium spp., G. duodenalis, and E. bieneusi in Tibetan sheep. In the present study, fecal specimens of 177 Tibetan sheep were examined by nested PCR. 4.5% (n = 8), 1.7% (n = 3) and 34.5% (n = 61) of the Tibetan sheep were positive for...
