We examined 85 stool samples from diarrhea patients, 111 pooled fecal samples by species across seven domestic animal types, and water from tube wells (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic> = 207) and ponds (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic> = 94) across 60 villages in coastal Odisha, India, for <jats:italic>Cryptosporidium<\/jats:italic> oocysts and <jats:italic>Giardia<\/jats:italic> cysts to measure occurrence, concentration\/shedding, and environmental loading rates. Oocysts\/cysts were detected in 12% of diarrhea patients. Detection ranged from 0% to 35% for <jats:italic>Cryptosporidium<\/jats:italic> and 0% to 67% for <jats:italic>Giardia<\/jats:italic> across animal hosts. Animal loading estimates indicate the greatest contributors of environmental oocysts\/cysts in the study region are cattle. Ponds were contaminated with both protozoa (oocysts: 37%, cysts: 74%), as were tube wells (oocysts: 10%, cysts: 14%). Future research should address the public health concern highlighted from these findings and investigate the role of domestic animals in diarrheal disease transmission in this and similar settings.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.15-0111","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,30]],"date-time":"2015-06-30T03:05:06Z","timestamp":1435633506000},"page":"596-600","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":60,"title":["Cryptosporidium
