    abstract = {<I>Cryptosporidium parvum</I> is a protozoan parasite that is now<SUP> </SUP>recognized as one of the leading causes of diarrhea in cattle. Surface waters contaminated with human and animal feces serve as main source for epidemic spread of <I>Cryptosporidium </I>parasites. In this study, we used a small-subunit rRNA-based Pcr-restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) technique to determine the prevalence and to characterize species of <I>Cryptosporidium</I> parasites in cattle`s in Ardabil city in Iran. Among 107 samples examined, 19 samples showed positive results. Restriction pattern analysis showed <I>C. andersoni </I>as the most common species with 14 cases; followed by <I>C. parvum</I>, bovine genotype, with 5 cases. Our results confirm that zoonotic transmission can be occur in the study region.}
