The present study aimed to assess the prevalence of IP species in humans and domestic animals, compare and contrast the zoonotic potentialities and investigate the associated factors in the Solukhumbu District, Nepal. The fresh faecal samples from humans (\n                    <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 200), cattle (\n                    <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 20), dogs (\n                    <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 20) and pigs (\n                    <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 20) were collected using a non\u2010invasive purposive sampling method, preserved in 2.5% potassium dichromate, and examined by direct wet mount, flotation and modified acid\u2010fast techniques. Sociodemographic data were obtained through a structured questionnaire, interviews and focal group discussions. The overall prevalence rate of IP species in all hosts was recorded as 70.77% (184\/260), with infection rates of 65.5% in humans, 100% in cattle and pigs and 65% in dogs, with a total of 23 species.\n                    <jats:italic>Cryptosporidium<\/jats:italic>\n                    spp.,\n                    <jats:italic>Balantidium coli<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Ascaris<\/jats:italic>\n                    spp., taeniid and Acanthocephala spp. were shared by all hosts.
