Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever, Southwestern Bulgaria

the source of both Cryptosporidium and Giardia infection in the Cryptosporidium pig genotype II–positive patient. The passage of oocysts can be excluded because of the number of oocysts detected in repeat samples (Table). Moreover, identification of the infection in an immunocompetent patient underlines the zoonotic potential of this pig genotype and possible presence of risk factors in rural a...

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever in southeastern Europe.
