Abstract

Cryptosporidium parvum is one of the most common causes of diarrhea, anorexia, fever, and dehydration in calves and children, leading to significant economic losses every year. Cryptosporidium does not have a specific host and can complete its life cycle in all animals. The main goal of this review is to fully understand the disease and the factors that contribute to its spread, in order to develop timely, appropriate, and cost-effective prevention plans. By reviewing valid scientific literature and screening national and international articles, it was found that several factors related to the parasite and its host, such as the diversity of hosts, the resistance of its oocysts, the lack of an effective vaccine, and its zoonotic nature, have contributed to the increased spread of the disease. Given its importance, it is recommended that relevant authorities organize educational seminars for their employees to raise awareness about this illness.
