Oocysts of Cryptosporidium species were identified in the faeces of scouring calves from a dairy farm. The faeces were watery and greenish yellow but the calves were usually alert and not desiccated when they were admitted to the clinic. Without treatment they became severely desiccated and recumbent within a few hours, but after symptomatic treatment they improved rapidly. The importance of cryptosporidiosis as a herd health problem is discussed.
在一家奶牛场腹泻犊牛的粪便中发现了隐孢子虫属的卵囊。粪便呈水样，黄绿色，但犊牛入院时通常很警觉，没有脱水。未经治疗，它们在几个小时内就会严重脱水并卧地不起，但经过对症治疗后，它们会迅速好转。文中讨论了隐孢子虫病作为一种群体健康问题的重要性。
