Cryptosporidium Spp. In Ruminants at the Lisbon Zoo

Abstract: Feces from 34 species of ruminants housed at the Lisbon Zoo was examined for Cryptosporidium spp. oocysts. Three hundred and eighty-eight samples were analyzed. Three hundred and eighty species-specific group fecal samples were collected monthly, from September 1998 until August 1999, along with eight individual specimens from eight neonates. All samples were examined by four different techniques: microscopic observation of direct and concentrated fecal smears, staining with modified Ziehl-Nielsen, immunofluor… Show more

“…Studies carried out previously in artiodactyl ruminants at the Lisbon Zoo, showed a 4% prevalence of cryptosporidiosis (Delgado et al 2003) and molecular characterization has identified the isolates as C. parvum (Alves et al 2001(Alves et al , 2003. In the present study, we extended the range of animals from the Lisbon Zoo examined for Cryptosporidium to several other mammalian orders and to reptiles.…”

“…Las poblaciones de esta especie en cautiverio, han aumentado de manera considerable con el pasar de los años, adquiriendo popularidad en zoológicos y centros de fauna silvestre en África, Asia, Europa y América (Delgado et al 2003). En jirafas mantenidas en cautiverio, una de las principales causas de mortalidad es el manejo inadecuado de las enfermedades parasitarias (Gómez et al 1996).…”
