Investigation of Cryptosporidium infection in a broad range of hosts in northern China
Investigation of Cryptosporidium infection was carried out by screening 75 animal species. Overall, 19 Cryptosporidium species and genotypes were detected, including a novel genotype in Mongolian pika and first-time diagnosis of this infection in several rodent species (e.g., red-cheeked ground squirrels, great gerbils, northern mole voles, and Libyan jirds).
