Molecular Evidence of Cryptosporidiosis in Farmed Blue Foxes (Vulpes lagopus) and Raccoon Dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) in Heilongjiang, China
Cryptosporidium, an important zoonotic protozoan, causes Cryptosporidiosis in humans as well as in animals. This study aimed to identify Cryptosporidiosis in farmed fur animals (Blue Fox and Raccoon Dogs). A total of 283 specimens (223 foxes, 60 Raccoon dogs) were screened through nested-PCR by targ...
