| description | The objective of the present study was to detect the occurrence of Cryptosporidium spp. oocysts in intestinal mucosa scraping and feces samples from bullfrogs (Lithobates catesbeianus Shaw, 1802) confined at the school farm of Federal University of Uberlândia, MG, Brazil. The modified Ziehl Neelsen staining technique was used. Out of 28 fecal samples, 14.28% (4/28) were positive for Cryptosporidium spp., with 7.14% positive samples in feces of frogs under 3 months of age and 7.14% in feces of frogs over 3 months of age. Form the 16 intestinal scraping samples, 75% (10/16) were positive, 50% in tadpoles and 25% in adult frogs. This research allows the situation identification and the recommendation of measures to control this parasite, aiming at preventing or delaying the appearance of this parasitism in other animals, since it an important zoonosis to public health. |
