The morphology, life cycle, maintenance, host specificity, incidence of Cryptosporidium species infecting birds, as well as the epidemiology, clinical signs, pathology, immunology, diagnosis, therapy, and control of avian cryptosporidiosis are reviewed. Based on the accepted criteria used for differentiation of Cryptosporidium isolates into valid species, this review places the validity of C. meleagridis in doubt and suggests that C. meleagridis isolated from birds is very closely related to, or identical with C. parvum infecting more than 100 species of mammals.
本文综述了隐孢子虫的形态学、生命周期、维持、宿主特异性、感染鸟类的隐孢子虫种类发生率，以及禽隐孢子虫病的流行病学、临床症状、病理学、免疫学、诊断、治疗和控制。根据用于将隐孢子虫分离株区分为有效物种的公认标准，本综述对火鸡隐孢子虫的有效性提出质疑，并表明从鸟类分离出的火鸡隐孢子虫与感染100多种哺乳动物的微小隐孢子虫密切相关或相同。
