Abstract Cryptosporidiosis is a neglected tropical zoonotic disease, commonly associated with diarrhoea, caused by protozoan parasite of the genus Cryptosporidium . The aim this study was to determine occurrence oocysts in faeces, milk, and water sources, its risk factors sedentary Fulani herds. Seven hundred fifty faecal samples (240, 180, 240 90 from cattle, sheep, goats dogs, respectively), 120 each, milk were collected for study. Faecal concentrated formol ether concentration technique,...
Dairy products are consumed by millions on daily basis worldwide and as such the potential for foodborne illness is a major concern.

A total 120 samples were collected this study. Detection was carried out concentration technique using Magnesium Sulphate (MgSO4) solution stained with...
Abstract This study focused on antibiotic resistance genes as emerging contaminants with potential global human health implications. Intensive livestock farming has been identified a major contributor to the spread of resistant bacteria and genes. The examined antimicrobial-resistant Escherichia coli tetracycline-resistant in raw milk from commercial dairy farms Kano State. Out 300 registered farms, 54 (18 %) were purposively sampled for study. A total 313 samples collected processed through...
