3.2. Literature survey results for Cryptosporidium of rats Rats have been surveyed for Cryptosporidium (both microscopically and molecularly) in a total of 23 studies from countries including Australia, Brazil, China, Egypt, Japan, Indonesia, Iran, Kenya, Korea, New Zealand, Nigeria, Philippines, Spain and United Kingdom (Supplementary Table 1). There are 66 species of ‘true rats’ in the genus Rattus (Wilson and Reeder, 2005). Prior to the present study, only 6 species had been surveyed for Cryptosporidium. The commonest species of rat studied are the brown or Norway rat (Rattus norvegicus) (n = 1518), the Asian house rat (R. tanezumi) (n = 442) and the black rat (Rattus rattus) (n = 475) (Supplementary Table 1). The majority of the studies (n = 14) undertook molecular characterisation, but 9 relied only on microscopy such that Cryptosporidium species could not be assigned beyond the genotypic level. The most frequently observed Cryptosporidium species and genotypes seen in rats are C. muris (n = 82), C. ... : Published as part of Koehler, Anson V., Wang, Tao, Haydon, Shane R. & Gasser, Robin B., 2018, Cryptosporidium viatorum from the native Australian swamp rat Rattus lutreolus - An emerging zoonotic pathogen?, pp. 18-26 in International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife 7 (1) on page 20, DOI: 10.1016/j.ijppaw.2018.01.004, http://zenodo.org/record/10668397 ...
