Diverzita kryptosporidií volně žijících psovitých a medvědovitých šelem
KELLNEROVÁ, Klára
The study was focused on study of diversity of Cryptosporidium spp. in wild canines and bears in the Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Poland and Romania. A total of 359 faecal samples were collected from 179 red foxes (Vulpes vulpes), 83 grey wolves (Canis lupis), 63 brown bears (Ursus arctos) and 34 jackals (Canis aureus). Faecal samples were screened for Cryptosporidium by microscopy and PCR/sequencing. Phylogenetic analysis of small-subunit rRNA, actin and 60-kDa glycoprotein sequences revealed the presence of C. tyzzeri, C. andersoni in red foxes, C. canis and C. ubiquitum in gray wolves and C. galli in a brown bear and a red fox. Subtyping of C. ubiquitum and C. tyzzeri isolate by sequence analysis of the 60-kDa glycoprotein gene showed that isolates belonged to the XIId and IXa subtype family, respectively. Detection of host-non-specific cryptosporidia, except C. canic and C. ubiquitum, in wild canine and bears shows rather a food preference of screened carnivors than on an active infection.

Fox cryptosporidiosis
POKORNÝ, Radek
Foxes represent a reservoir of zoonotic diseases and it is necessary perform a control of disease situation. Total 111 fecal samples originated form wild foxes were collected in Czech Republic and Poland in two consequence years 2013 - 2014. All fecal samples were screened for presence of Cryptosporidium spp. using both microscopy and molecular methods. Altogether two samples were molecularly positive and phylogenetic analyses reveal presence C. andersoni in both of them. Low prevalence (1.8%) and low infection intensity was observed in this study. Eighteen cases of diarrhea were detected, but no animal was positive for cryptosporidium infection.

Prevalence and diversity of Cryptosporidium infecting fur animals
KELLNEROVÁ, Klára
The object of this thesis was evaluation of occurrence and prevalence of Cryptosporidium infection in fur animals, mainly American mink, fox and chinchilla. A total 370 individual specimens originated from mink (n = 340), fox (n = 18) and chinchilla (n = 12) were collected. While microscopy examination did not proved any presence of Cryptosporidium oocyst in fecal samples, molecular tolls based on amplification of small ribosomal subunit and 60 kDa glycoprotein of Cryptosporidium revealed three positive samples in minks. Following phylogeny analyses of both loci showed presence of C. ubiquitum of the XIIa1 family subtype in all positive samples. The XIIa1 family subtype was detected in Carnivores for the first time. No correlation between Cryptosporidium infection and presence of diarrhea was observed in this thesis.
