    abstract = {Cryptosporidiosis is an important gastrointestinal disease in snakes. In the current study, 143 feces samples of cobra snakes and Oriental rat-snake were examined for the presence of cryptosporidia by morphology and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Method targeting a part of the 18S ribosomal <I>RNA</I> gene. A consecutive sequencing reaction was used to identify the cryptosporidian species present in PCR-positive samples. The oocyst of <I>Cryptosporidium serpentis </I>was found in 19 out of 143 (13.29%). The results stress the importance for diagnostic methods to be specific for <I>Cryptosporidium </I>species especially in snakes.}
