Abstract

Cryptosporidium spp. is known to be the majore cause of diarrhea in animals. This study aims to determine the prevalence of cryptosporidium infections in horses and donkeys from Souk Ahras province, and assess the risk factors related to this infection. For this, 93 stool samples (41 horses and 52 donkeys) were collected in three districts of Souk-Ahras province (Sedrata, Taoura, Zarouria) from January to May 2024. Laboratory analysis were performed using microscopy tool, after modified Ziehl Neilsen staining, The total rate of cryptosporidium spp. infections prevalence were 19,35% (CI 95%: 8.99-29.72). Only the age influences equines infections by Cryptosporidium spp. (p<0.05), with a high prevalence rate in animals which have ≤ 1 year (CI 95%: 10.50%-53.14%) compared to those which have > 1 year (CI 95%: 3.63%-27.36%). Neither the gender, nor the animal species or the location have shown significant effect in this study (p>0.05).
