Article Abstract
The present study was conducted to elucidate the prevalence of in suckling and weaned cattle calves () from different governorates in northern, middle, and southern Egypt, such as Behera, Menofia, Qaliubiya, Assiut, and Sohag; result revealed that from the overall examined fecal samples ( = 825), the overall prevalence was 7.27%, the highest significant infection rate was in young suckling calves less than one month (8.2%), and seasonally, winter season has the highest significant level (11.24%), but sex and locality were of no significant effect on the prevalence of infection in this study. Gene sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of the 18SSU-rRNA gene of the local bovine isolate were performed, and it was found that genotype was highly similar to human isolate, which provoke the zoonotic transmission of bovine isolate to humans and identified as a potential source for human cryptosporidiosis infection in Egypt.

Cryptosporidium and Giardia are globally significant protozoan parasites responsible for severe foodborne and waterborne outbreaks, posing substantial zoonotic and environmental risks. This study aimed to comprehensively assess the prevalence of cryptosporidiosis, giardiasis, and co-infections in Beni-Suef Governorate, Egypt, using an integrated diagnostic approach combining microscopy and molecular techniques. Additionally, it was sought to identify associated risk factors in cattle fecal samples.

The parasitic protozoan causes cryptosporidiosis in young calves, leading to diarrhoea and financial losses in the farming industry. This study aimed to examine the occurrence of in preweaning calves suffering from diarrhoea in Sulaymaniyah, Iraq, using both enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods. Faecal samples were obtained from 80 young calves categorised into various groups according to age, breed, sex, and geographic origin.

Background: is a common intestine anthroponotic protozoan parasite that affects humans and other animals all over the world. Many different kinds of vertebrates have their gastrointestinal epithelium infected by the ubiquitous, obligatory parasites of spp. In humans, those with weakened immune systems, including those with acronym for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, are most affected.

Background: Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) is a global contagious respiratory disease of ruminants caused by Bovine Herpes virus-1 (BoHV-1). It causes substantial financial losses in the dairy industry worldwide and is considered one of the most important causative agents of abortion and reproductive problems in dairy cattle.
Aim: This study aimed to estimate the seroprevalence of IBR and the related risk factors in the dairy population in Gharbia governorate, Egypt.

Article Synopsis
- The livestock industry is crucial for Egypt's economy, providing food, jobs, and financial support; however, protozoan parasites like Besnoitia besnoiti and Neospora caninum lead to substantial economic losses in cattle and other ruminants.
- A study conducted on 440 animals across Cairo, Giza, and Beni Suef found seroprevalence rates of 7.7% for B. besnoiti, 13.2% for N. caninum, and 0.9% for mixed infections.
- Results indicated that B. besnoiti infection was more prevalent in adult cattle compared to sheep and goats, while N. caninum showed higher rates in cattle but no significant
