Here, we summarize currently available evidence suggesting that several ssu rDNA sequences primarily referred to as Cryptosporidium suis (some of them from non-suid hosts) should be considered Cryptosporidium occultus.engVoRhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ApicomplexaEpidemiologyGenetic diversityHost specificityHouse-keeping genesMolecular characterizationProtozoaTaxonomyTransmissionTypingCryptosporidiosisAnimalsDNA, ProtozoanDNA, RibosomalHumansPhylogenySequence Analysis, DNAAttribution 4.0 International3877718222210695710.1016/j.mimet.2024.1069571872-8359J Microbiol Methodsopen access
