CLINICAL AND LABORATORY EVALUATIONS IN CRYPTOSPORIDIOSIS IN CALVES

Abstract This study took place from March to May 2019 and was conducted in the Farm 1 of Research and Development Institute for Cattle Baloteşti , Ilfov County. The aim was to establish guide values about incidence of cryptosporidiosis using speed tests (Rainbow Calf Scour 4) and parasitological exams : Ziehl – Nielsen staining, Anderson flotation method, zinc sulphate flotation associate with clinical signs. From 10 calves, on coproparasitological exams using Ziehl – Nielsen staining from feces , was tested positive 2 calves by Cryptosporidium oocyst identification. On coproparasitological exams using zinc sulphate flotation was identificate Eimeria unsporulate oocyst and by speed tests (Rainbow Calf Scour 4) was detected one infection with coronavirus. Clinical signs was: diaorhea with yelow- green feces, tenesmus, cramps, loss of appetite,fever.References: 1. Akam, D. Khelef, R. Kaidi, A. Othmani, Maria S. Abdul-Hussain, E. Suteu, V.
