Cryptosporidiosis is a common protozoan infection in humans and domestic animals. It is the culprit for significant neonatal morbidity in cattle as well as weight loss and delayed growth, which leads to large economic losses in the farming industry. Furthermore, bovine  Cryptosporidium  is also a principal source of human  Cryptosporidium  infections. The purpose of this study is to determine prevalence and genotype of  Cryptosporidium  spp. from feces of dairy cows from the northern parts of Thailand (Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, and Lumpang provinces). A total of 500 fecal samples were collected directly from the rectum and they were examined for potential presence of  Cryptosporidium  infection by using tests such as DMSO-modified acid fast stain, immunofluorescence antibody test (IFAT) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The prevalence of  Cryptosporidium  spp. was 5% by DMSO-modified acid fast stain, 7% by IFAT and 7.6% by PCR respectively. The main genotypes of  Cryptosporidium  spp. identified were  Cryptosporidium parvum  and  Cryptosporidium bovis . Therefore, as a result of this study, it can be said that, due to the potential cross-species transmission of  Cryptosporidium parvum , infected dairy cows may pose a potential zoonotic risk to humans.
