Abstract:
Intestinal cryptosporidiosis has been extensively studied in young calves, but respiratory invasion by Cryptosporidium in these animals has, surprisingly, not been investigated. In the present study the parasite was observed in lung tissue of a calf, using light and electron microscopy. This demonstrates that Cryptosporidium can develop in the bronchial epithelium in bovines.
