It was hypothesized that diarrhoeic calves from Austria harbour Giardia and Cryptosporidium genotypes/subtypes which have the potential to cause human infection, and that immunochromatographic point-of-care tests are valid methods for the detection of these parasites in calf faeces. This is in sharp contrast to a previous study on the possible causes of diarrhoea in calves from Austria which only detected 4.4-6.1% Giardia-and 11.7-25.6% Cryptosporidium-positive samples by sugar-flotation [19, 37] . In Southern Germany 101/110 Giardia intestinalis-positive faecal samples from calves were positive for genotype assemblage E, eight for A and one had a mixed infection with A and E [13] .	./cache/cord-302207-ljpfgih2.txt	./txt/cord-302207-ljpfgih2.txt
