| Summary: | Fift y nine samples of feces were collected from broiler flocks farms located
in Hama and Aleppo provinces of Syria, which suffered from diarrhea or
respiratory problem or both. For the first time, this study confirmed the
infection of the broiler flocks with Cryptosporidium in Syria with a rate of
8.4%. The infection has been demonstrated by detecting the Cryptosporidium
oocysts in the fecal by using direct smear method and Formol-Ether
concentration method, then stained by Kinyoun acid fast stain.
The result of tests based on morphology and size of Cryptosporidium
oocysts showed that the parasite is probably C. baileyi which ranged between (6
µm X 4 µm). |
