Cryptosporidia are intestinal parasites infecting a variety of animals (e.g. cattle, sheep, rodents, cats and dogs, but also birds, fish and reptiles).
Algloomad Cryptosporidia on sooleparasiidid, mis nakatavad mitmesuguseid loomi (nt veiseid, lambaid, närilisi, kasse ja koeri, samuti linde, kalu ja roomajaid).
