Rodents, as reservoirs or carriers of<jats:italic>Cryptosporidium<\/jats:italic>and<jats:italic>Giardia<\/jats:italic>, are abundant and globally widespread. In the present study, we collected 232 fecal specimens from commensal rodents captured in animal farms and farm neighbourhoods in China. We collected 33 Asian house rats, 168 brown rats and 31 house mice. 6\u00b70% (14\/232) and 8\u00b72% (19\/232) of these rodents were microscopy-positive for<jats:italic>Giardia<\/jats:italic>cysts and<jats:italic>Cryptosporidium<\/jats:italic>oocysts, respectively. All 14<jats:italic>Giardia<\/jats:italic>isolates were identified as<jats:italic>Giardia duodenalis<\/jats:italic>assemblage G at a minimum of one or maximum of three gene loci (<jats:italic>tpi, gdh<\/jats:italic>and<jats:italic>bg<\/jats:italic>). By small subunit rRNA (SSU rRNA) gene sequencing,<jats:italic>Cryptosporidium parvum<\/jats:italic>(<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>= 12) and<jats:italic>Cryptosporidium muris<\/jats:italic>(<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>= 7) were identified. The gp60 gene encoding the 60-kDa glycoprotein was successfully amplified and sequenced in nine<jats:italic>C. parvum<\/jats:italic>isolates, all of which belonged to the IIdA15G1 subtype. Observation of the same IIdA15G1 subtype in humans (previously) and in rodents (here) suggests that rodents infected with<jats:italic>Cryptosporidium<\/jats:italic>have the potential to transmit cryptosporidiosis to humans.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0031182014001929","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,1,12]],"date-time":"2015-01-12T10:38:22Z","timestamp":1421059102000},"page":"800-806","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":57,"title":["Genotyping
