“…The first study on molecular subtyping of C. parvum in Turkey, the main country importing cattle from Uruguay, was published in 2012, and analyzed 13 bovine strains. Subtype IIaA15G2R1, the most frequent subtype found in our study, was identified in 10 animals, while subtype IIaA16G3R1 was identified in 2 animals and subtype IIdA15G1 was found in the remainder ( 69 ); these two subtypes were not identified in our study. Later, in 2016, a broader study that identified C. parvum in 27 dairy calves and 9 goat kids in Turkey revealed subtypes IIaA13G2R1 (20/23), IIdA18G1 (2/23), and IIdA20G1b (1/23) in cattle, and subtypes IIaA13G2R1 (3/8), IIaA15G1R1 (2/8), IIdA22G1 (2/8), and IIdA18G1 (1/8) in goat kids ( 70 ).…”
