The present study was conducted during the period from September 2015 untilApril 2016. 100 fecal samples was collected from goats to diagnosis ofcryptosporidium parasite from different regions in AL-Qadisiya province and thestudy designed to evaluate the microscopic features of the parasite.The results ofmicroscopic examination showed that the oocyst of parasite appearedoval-shaped orspherical objects with a color dark pink, or red on a blue ground ,21(21%) goats out100cases were positivewith significant differences at level (P < 0.05) The resultsshowed that the highest rate of infection (31.5%) were observed in the ages (6-12)year respectively, while the lowest rate of infection (11.1%) that was observed in theages (1-3) year . There are effects of the sex in the infection in goats. The highestrates of infection (33.3 %) were seen in December and lowest rate (8.3%) wereobserved in September , while the other months, showed different results, withsignificant differences at (P < 0.05) From the results , it was observed that the rate ofinfection in different study area were relatively close ,and ranged between (18.7-23.3%) , so there has been non- significant differences at level (P > 0.05)and using ofocular micrometer for determination of length and width of oocyststhat showedthemeasurement from (4.5-5)μm .
