Abstract
Temporary episodes of diarrhea in captive beech martens (Martes foina) were accompanied by shedding of Cryptosporidium oocysts. Oocysts were detected in fecal samples by flotation and in acid-fast-stained smear preparations. The oocysts were 3-5 microns, which is consistent with C. parvum. The source of the Cryptosporidium infection remained unknown. This is the first demonstration of Cryptosporidium in beech martens.Entities:
