Cryptosporidium, an important zoonotic protozoan, causes Cryptosporidiosis in humans as well as in animals. This study aimed to identify Cryptosporidiosis in farmed fur animals (Blue Fox and Raccoon Dogs). A total of 283 specimens (223 foxes, 60 Raccoon dogs) were screened through nested-PCR by targeting the actin gene. The results showed the overall prevalence of cryptosporidiosis was 9.1% where the prevalence in foxes and raccoon dogs was 9.1% and 8.3%, respectively. The prevalence in males (15%) was significantly higher than that in females (5.7%). The findings of this study portrayed new knowledge that foxes and raccoon dogs are likely to …

Recent clinical studies have documented a high prevalence of dental disorders in donkeys. However, there are few studies about the same topic in China. A cross-sectional study was performed to investigate the prevalence of clinically diagnosed dental disorders of donkeys in China. A total of 101 jennies which had never received any dental care were examined for the presence of dental disorders under small-holder farm conditions. The prevalence of dental disorders was analyzed by Chi‐square test or Fisher's exact correlation test. The strength of association was evaluated using Cramer's V test. Jennies between 2 and 15 years of age were …
