Overview

Investigates Cryptosporidium and Eimeria infections associated with diarrhea in calves, suggesting targeted control strategies.

Key Points

  • The study aims to identify and characterize Cryptosporidium and Eimeria infections in calves with diarrhea.
  • Collected 348 fecal samples from calves aged 1-30 days across 15 prefectures in Japan.
  • Performed preliminary diagnosis using an immunochromatographic test kit.
  • Used nested PCR and conventional PCR for species identification.
  • Assessed seasonal variations and associations with calf age, breed, and sex.
  • Cryptosporidium was detected in 58.6% of samples, Eimeria in 7.5%.
  • Mixed infections occurred in 4.9% of samples.
  • The highest detection rates were observed in calves aged 8-15 days.
  • Seasonal variations revealed distinct prevalence patterns for each pathogen.
  • C. parvum and E. bovis were confirmed as predominant species.
