Faeces were collected per-rectum from 484 animals including 192 cattle, 192 sheep and 100 goats. DNA was extracted from all samples and screened for <jats:italic>Cryptosporidium<\/jats:italic> by PCR amplification of the <jats:italic>18S<\/jats:italic> rRNA gene. Positives were Sanger sequenced and further subtyped by sequence analysis of the 60 kDa glycoprotein (<jats:italic>gp60<\/jats:italic>) locus.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>\n              <jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>In total, <jats:italic>Cryptosporidium<\/jats:italic> spp. were detected in 22 animals: <jats:italic>C. andersoni<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>C. bovis<\/jats:italic> in seven and two cattle faecal samples, respectively, <jats:italic>C. ubiquitum<\/jats:italic> in five sheep, and <jats:italic>C. xiaoi<\/jats:italic> in six sheep and two goat samples, respectively.
