Levels of Cryptosporidium infection in a group of red deer were monitored over a period of 1 year. Faecal samples were examined on an approximate monthly basis from adult hinds and calves for the presence of Cryptosporidium oocysts. The water-ether sedimentation method followed by sucrose flotation and a monoclonal antibody identification procedure were used. It was found that apparently healthy adult deer were shedding low numbers of oocysts in their faeces throughout the year and that there appeared to be a periparturient increase in the numbers of oocysts shed. Samples taken from 6-month-old deer calves, both in-house and on pasture, had low numbers of Cryptosporidium oocysts, indicating that the calves were also asymptomatically shedding oocysts.
