At the Zoological Garden in Poznań, Poland, 66 stool specimens from animals belonging to 40 species of 4 orders (Primates, Proboscidea, Perissodactyla and Artiodactyla) were examined for Cryptosporidium oocysts. Cryptosporidium oocysts were found in 7 of 66 faecal samples (9.1%) obtained from 6 different animal species. This is the first report of C. parvum in a lesser slow loris, white rhinoceros, Indian elephant and Thorold’s deer. The remaining Cryptosporidium-positive faecal specimens were collected from Japanese macaque and Eld’s deer.
