Reports of Cryptosporidium in various hosts and cross-transmission experiments are reviewed. Cryptosporidium has been found in mammals (Primates, Artiodactyla, Perissodactyla , Carnivora, Lagomorpha, and Rodentia), birds, reptiles, and fish. The only cross-transmission attempts that have been made have been from mammals to other mammals and to a few birds. Names have been given to 19 "species," but it is concluded that only four of these should be considered valid at present. These are: C. muris Tyzzer, 1907 in mammals, C. meleagridis Slavin , 1955 in birds, C. crotali Triffit , 1925 in reptiles, and C. nasorum Hoover , Hoerr , Carlton , Hinsman & Ferguson, 1981 in fish.
本文综述了隐孢子虫在各种宿主中的报道以及交叉传播实验。隐孢子虫已在哺乳动物（灵长目、偶蹄目、奇蹄目、食肉目、兔形目和啮齿目）、鸟类、爬行动物和鱼类中被发现。仅有的交叉传播实验是从哺乳动物到其他哺乳动物以及少数鸟类。已命名了19个“种”，但目前仅其中4个被认为是有效的。它们分别是：1907年泰泽发现的寄生于哺乳动物的鼠隐孢子虫；1955年斯拉文发现的寄生于鸟类的火鸡隐孢子虫；1925年特里菲特发现的寄生于爬行动物的猪鼻蛇隐孢子虫；1981年胡佛、霍尔、卡尔顿、欣斯曼和弗格森发现的寄生于鱼类的鼻隐孢子虫。
