The Leopard Gecko (Eublepharis macularius) is one of the most frequently bread geckoes in both the Slovak and Czech Republics and cryprosporidiosis in this species can pose a study was aimed at the determination of the prevalence of Cryptosporidium spp. in populations of Leopard Geckoes kept in captivity in the Slovak and Czech Republics. We examined 26 breeding groups comprising a total of 90 geckoes, seven groups originating from the Czech Republic and nineteen from the Slovak Republic. The examination was carried out on one composite excrement sample from each group using the serological ELISA method, and also a by Kinyoun, as well as staining with carbolfuchsin. The ELISA test demonstrated the occurrence of Cryptosporidium spp. of the samples examined.
