Cryptosporidium spp. oocysts and Giardia spp. cysts in coatis (Nasua nasua L. 1766) from Par?, Brazil

Zoonotic enteroparasitosis represent an important public health problem, and species of protozoa such as Cryptosporidiumspp. and Giardiaspp. can reach high frequencies in regions where basic sanitation conditions are poor, which promotes outbreaks of diarrhea in humans and domesti...
