Abstract

Objectives
This study examined the number of cases of Cryptosporidium spp. infection in domestic birds in Diwaniyah Governorate, as well as the consequences of this illness and the methods used to diagnose it.
 
Materials and Methods
In this study, 205 samples from different bird species were analyzed without gender being taken into account. Some of the methods used for diagnosis were the Acid Fast Stain method and the DNA nested Polymerization Technique (PCR). Nested - PCR proved out to be better than AFS because it could find Cryptosporidium faster, with highest accuracy, and sensitivity.
 
Results
The results showed that 90 of the samples had Cryptosporidium infections. Among the bird species that were studied, falseco eleonorae had the lowest incidence of cryptosporidiosis at 16%, while gallus gallus domesticus had the highest incidence at 53.3%. Out of the 60 samples taken for each species, 48.3% of Meleagris gallopova and 41.6% of Anas platyrhynchos were infected. The microscope examination showed a 43.9% infection rate (90 out of 205 samples) when compared to the other method. To use nested-PCR for molecular identification, DNA had to be taken from positive infected samples using Proteinase K method. This produced positive bands that were usually amplified at around 587 bp. The nested-PCR test showed that 47.5% of the samples (19 out of 40) were infected.
 
Conclusions
Finally, this study highlights the critical need for efficient diagnostic tools and intervention plans by demonstrating the very high incidence of Cryptosporidium infection in domestic birds in Diwaniyah Governorate. In order to prevent the spread of Cryptosporidiosis in birds, the results stress the use of nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods for infection diagnosis.
