T1 - Cryptosporidium muris, a Rodent Pathogen, Recovered from a Human in Perú T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2003 VL - 9 IS - 9 SP - 1174 SN - 1080-6059 AB - Cryptosporidium muris, predominantly a rodent species of Cryptosporidium, is not normally considered a human pathogen. Recently, isolated human infections have been reported from Indonesia, Thailand, France, and Kenya. We report the first case of C. muris in a human in the Western Hemisphere. This species may be an emerging zoonotic pathogen capable of infecting humans.
