Coccidia of the genus Cryptosporidium were detected in histological sections of the small intestine of three veal calves. Autopsy was performed on these calves as part of a study of the aetiology of the syndrome "cachexia" in veal calves. In addition, typical 4 mu cryptosporidium oocysts were observed in the bowel contents of one of two histologically positive calves examined and seven out of eight other cachectic calves in which coccidia had not been detected on histological examination. The changes of the mucosa of the small intestine observed are described and the possible role of cryptosporidiosis in the pathogenesis of these lesions is discussed.
在三头犊牛小肠的组织切片中检测到隐孢子虫属的球虫。作为对犊牛“恶病质”综合征病因研究的一部分，对这些犊牛进行了尸检。此外，在两只经组织学检查呈阳性的犊牛中的一头的肠内容物中观察到典型的4μm隐孢子虫卵囊，在另外八头恶病质犊牛中的七头中，虽然组织学检查未检测到球虫，但也观察到了卵囊。描述了所观察到的小肠黏膜变化，并讨论了隐孢子虫病在这些病变发病机制中的可能作用。
