This study was conducted between May and August 2016. A total of 45 fecal specimens obtained from 6-37 day old lamb were examined for the presence and prevalence of Cryptosporidium by rapid Immunochromatographic (ICT). The prevalence of the infection was found in 33 specimens out of 45 (73.33%). The infected lambs were treated by using Paromomycin sulphate (Parofor®) and retested for the presence of Cryptosporidium infection after 5 days of consecutive treatment. We report in this study the successful resolution of Cryptosporidium with Parofor®.
