Abstract
We isolated oocysts that resemble Cryptosporidium andersoni from cattle grazing on a farm in Japan. The partial sequences of genes from the isolate were coincident with published sequences of genes of C. andersoni . Since the isolate was able to infect SCID mice, the isolate appears to be a novel type of C. andersoni .Keywords
