Abstract:

Globally, most strains of Cryptosporidium parvum subtypes cause zoonotic infections. Dairy cattle are the important host for the natural infection of C. parvum and the important source of infection for human cryptosporidiosis. In this paper, the molecular epidemiology of C. parvum from dairy cattle was reviewed. The Ⅱd subtype distribution of C. parvum in dairy cattle in China was analyzed. The diversity distribution of Ⅱd subtype was summarized and the development trend of Ⅱd subtype was predicted. This review is of great significance for the prevention and control of C. parvum.

Key words: Cryptosporidium parvum, Dairy cattle, Epidemiology, China
