Prevalence, distribution, and risk factors of <i>Cryptosporidium</i> spp. infection among calves in the Far-North Region of Cameroon
This study provides the first evidence of <i>Cryptosporidium</i> spp. infection of calves in the Far North region of Cameroon with the associated risk factors such as age, BCS, season, herd size, diarrheal status, feed source, barn hygiene, and water sources. Further molecular investigation in this region will be needed to implement control strategies to limit zoonotic transmission to humans.
