The samples were analyzed for cysts of <em>Giardia </em>sp. and oocysts of <em>Cryptosporidium </em>sp. using a direct immunofluorescence antibody test (IFA). <em>Giardia </em>sp. and <em>Cryptosporidium </em>sp. were found in 20.0 % of the samples examined. Simple infections were more frequent (90.0 %) with seven (14.0 %) positive for <em>Giardia </em>sp. and two (4.0 %) positive for <em>Cryptosporidium </em>sp. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first report of occurrence of <em>Cryptosporidium </em>sp. in Iberian Wolf.</p> ER -
