Molecular Characterization of <i>Cryptosporidium</i> spp. in Cultivated and Wild Marine Fishes from Western Mediterranean with the First Detection of Zoonotic <i>Cryptosporidium ubiquitum</i>

Molecular Characterization of <i>Cryptosporidium</i> spp. in Cultivated and Wild Marine Fishes from Western Mediterranean with the First Detection of Zoonotic <i>Cryptosporidium ubiquitum</i>

Fish not only harbor host-specific species/genotypes of <i>Cryptosporidium</i>, but also species like zoonotic <i>C. parvum</i> or anthroponotic <i>C. hominis</i>, which can pose a risk for fish consumers. This study aims to investigate fish cryptosporidiosis in a...
