Abstract:
The presence of Cryptosporidium sp. and Isospora suis is reported for the first time in piglets in Italy, in the province of Mantova: the first one has been found in 1 and the second one in 39 out of 200 litters. Two piglets, respectively 20-day-old and 24-day-old, were experimentally infected with Cryptosporidium sp. oocysts from naturally infected calves, without clinical signs.
