Abstract

Goat cryptosporidiosis is parasitic disease with clinical signs at kids at 4-10 days old. Presence of great number of cryptosporidial oocyst is usually in goats without clinical signs of disease. At goats were established Cryptosporidium parvum. Kid cryptosporidiosis had high morbidity and mortality rate. Symptoms of acute cryptosporidiosis include lack of appetite, and weight loss. Clinical signs are yellow diarrhea with odor smell, and some time are present a blood. Animals had abdominal pain, anemia, lost of appetite, dehydration, tenisms, weakens and lost of weight. Occurrence depressive and inactivity. Pathological changes are present in small intestine. In acute cases were thickens gut wall, edema, hyperemia at cecal and colon mucus. There are present numerous hemorrhage, and present of mucofibrinal seam dark brown colored. Those pathological changes drawl resorption and induced clinical signs of disease. Consequence are significant increase of kid accrescense, its weakens and less develop.

Summary

Introduction

Cryptosporidiosis is a parasitic illness that causes diarrhea caused by Cryptosporidium spp., protozoan pathogen of the phylum Apicomplexa. Cryptosporidiosis parasites are passed in the stool of infected animals and persons. But persons with weakened immune systems can develop serious, life-threatening illness (El-Sherbini and Mohammad, 2006). Cryptosporidium parasites can be found anywhere in the environment that is contaminated by animal droppings or. Cryptosporidium oocysts can contaminate soil and the food grown in it. They can get onto objects and surfaces that people touch (Robertson, 2009). Sources of disease include parasitecontaining stool, food, and water (Giangaspero, 2006; Brandonisio, 2006). Goat cryptosporidiosis is parasitic disease with clinical signs at kids at 410 days old (Giles, 2005). Aim of our paper is to present a prevalence of cryptosporidial infection in goats in Serbia
