The faecal microbiota plays a critical role in host health, with alterations in the human faecal microbial composition associated with various conditions, particularly diarrhoeal diseases. However, little is known about microbial changes during cryptosporidiosis, one of the most important diarrhoeal diseases caused by protozoa in cattle. In this study, alterations in the faecal microbiota of neonatal calves as a result of  Cryptosporidium parvum  infection were investigated on a  C. parvum -positive farm. Comparisons were made among groups of  C. parvum- infected, rotavirus-infected, and the pathogen-negative calves. A specific increase in the abundance of  Fusobacterium  was observed in the faecal microbiota of  C. parvum -infected animals. Diarrhoea severity increased in accordance with the abundance of  C. parvum  and  Fusobacterium . Moreover, the specific increase of  Fusobacterium  appeared to be a universal feature of  C. parvum  infection, since neonatal calves from geographically separated areas showed the same result. These observations indicated that the growth of  Fusobacterium  may be an important aggravating factor of cryptosporidiosis.
