Cryptosporidiosis is transmitted primarily through the fecal-oral route, i.e., by ingesting viable oocysts of animal and/or human origin, emitted with feces that contaminated food or water [2, 3] . 9-10 μm in diameter), another coccidian protozoan parasite that infects the intestine of humans causing acute diarrhea, much attention should be given when evaluating stool samples since the oocysts of both parasites are autofluorescent and acid-fast ( Figure 2 ) [46, 47] . In addition to the above described methods, watery or mushy stools can be examined for the laboratory diagnosis of cryptosporidiosis using different techniques such as the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunochromatographic test, which have good sensitivity and specificity for detection of Cryptosporidium antigens [51] [52] [53] .	./cache/cord-310055-9qj8d2f7.txt	./txt/cord-310055-9qj8d2f7.txt
