Reptiles, including lizards, snakes, turtles, and tortoises, are susceptible to this infection. Once infected, the parasites can multiply rapidly within the host's body, causing severe digestive distress and potentially life-threatening complications.

The Cryptosporidium parasites are transmitted through various means, such as contaminated water or food, direct contact with infected feces, or even through inhalation of airborne particles. As a result, proper hygiene and sanitation practices are crucial in preventing the spread of cryptosporidiosis.

Diagnosis of cryptosporidiosis in reptiles can be challenging due to the subtle nature of its symptoms, which may include diarrhea, lethargy, and weight loss. Laboratory tests are often necessary to confirm the presence of the parasite.
