Occurrence of Giardiaand Cryptosporidiumin wild birds in Galicia (Northwest Spain)
SUMMARY Faecal samples were obtained from 433 wild birds being treated in wildlife recovery centres in Galicia (Northwest Spain), between February 2007 and September 2009. The birds belonged to 64 species representing 17 different orders. Giardia cysts and Cryptosporidium oocysts were detected by an...
