The aim of the present study was to characterise the genetic diversity and biology of cryptosporidia in screened for presence of cryptosporidia by microscopy using aniline-carbol-methyl violet staining, and Cryptosporidium - Cryptosporidium C. ducismarci Cryptosporidium C. ducismarci are genetically distinct from previously described species of Cryptosporidium. Oocysts of Cryptosporidium are morphologically distinguishable from C. ducismarci Cryptosporidium C. ducismarci Gray) were infectious Mauremys reevesii [Gray]), common garter snake ( [Linnaeus]), Taeniopygia guttata Cryptosporidium C. ducismarci and biological data support the establishment of Cryptosporidium Cryptosporidium testudinis sp. C. ducismarci as a separate species of the genus Cryptosporidium. The genus Cryptosporidium species of protist parasites that infect epithelial cells in the microvillus border of the gastrointestinal tract of all classes Cryptosporidium have been under intensive investigation for more species infecting humans, livestock and other mammals, with comparatively little attention paid to cryptosporidia in cies of Cryptosporidium have been described best in snakes of Cryptosporidium in tortoises remains poor. the microscopic detection of oocysts in the faeces of an croscopy as detection methods, oocysts of cryptosporidia - Zoobank number for article: This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License ( which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.
