Abstract
Sporozoites of Cryptosporidium parvum excysted in vitro from bovine oo cysts were incubated with monolayers of Madin-Darby bovine kidney cell s. The extent of parasite colonisation was monitored by light microsco py and immunofluorescence. Electron microscopy confirmed the complete development and replication of C. parvum within Madin-Darby bovine kid ney cells.
