“…Consistent with the global prevalence of Cryptosporidium infection (4.2%) reported in cats by molecular diagnostic methods 25 , we found Cryptosporidium spp. infection in 4.8% (8/165; 95% CI 2.6–10.5) of the investigated cats.…”

“…infections seen in this survey. Studies in domestic animals have reported a prevalence ranging from 6.7% to 41.6% [ 76 , 81 ], a recent study has reported a pool prevalence of 18% in Latin America [ 82 ], 20.3% in pets and 19.9% in livestock, the latter being considered so far as the main parasite reservoir [ 82 ]. In Colombia, the Cryptosporidium prevalence in livestock has been reported to be from 13 to 26.6% [ 83 , 84 ].…”

“…Cirak and Bauer, 2004 ; Hamnes et al, 2007 ; Ferreira et al, 2017 ). A recent systematic review of the prevalence of Cryptosporidium in cats reported the mean prevalence by microscopy, coproantigens and molecular tools to be 4.2%, 8.2%, and 5.0%, respectively, with an overall mean prevalence of 6% ( Meng et al, 2021 ). In dogs, the overall mean prevalence has been reported at 8% using microscopic detection, 7% using coproantigen detection and 6% using molecular diagnostic methods ( Taghipour et al, 2020 ).…”

“…Pet owner behaviours such as sleeping with pets, allowing pets to lick faces and hands, insufficient/infrequent hand-washing, and feeding raw meat to cats and dogs, can promote the transmission of a variety of zoonotic pathogens from pets to humans. These include Salmonella ( Davies et al, 2019 ), antimicrobial resistant bacteria ( Jin et al, 2023 ), ectoparasites and associated zoonotic pathogens ( Tahir et al, 2019 ; Saleh et al, 2021 ; Mateo et al, 2023 ), Toxocara ( Patterson, 2023 ) and other helminths ( Overgaauw et al, 2020 ; Mateo et al, 2023 ), and enteric protozoa such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia ( Cai et al, 2021 ; Meng et al, 2021 ).…”
