Cryostat-cut sections obtained from a specific pathogen-free lamb that was heavily infected with Cryptosporidium derived originally from calves [14] were reacted with 12 convalescent-phase sera from red deer that were recovering from diarrhea. The results of the present communication demonstrate, on the basis of the excretion of typical oocysts in the feces and the attachment of typical stages of the organism to the brush borders of enterocytes, that these artificially reared red deer were infected with Cryptosporidium, There is thus strong circumstantial evidence to incriminate Cryptosporidium as the cause of diarrhea and mortality in the outbreak. The clinical disease was similar to that observed in field outbreaks of diarrhea associated with Cryptosporidium in calves [14] , lambs [9A] , and experimentally infected, specific pathogen-free lambs [13] . ./cache/cord-007201-m87jid5l.txt ./txt/cord-007201-m87jid5l.txt
