Abstract in English
Two hundred fecal samples were randomly collected from various
aged broiler flocks farms, which suffered from diarrhea or
respiratory problem or both in Tartous and Latakia Provinces of
Syria.
This study demonstrated the infection of the broiler flocks with
Cryptosporidium in Tartous Province of Syria with a rate of 5.6%
only.
The results of tests based on morphology and size of
Cryptosporidium oocysts showed that the parasite is probably
C. baileyi which ranged in size about (6 μm X 4.5 μm).
