Summary Cryptosporidium agni sp. n. is described from the small intestine, particularly ileum, of lambs, Ovis aries, and C. bovis sp. n. is described from a similar location in a calf Bos taurus. Ultrastructural observations on trophozoites, schizonts and macrogametes indicated close similarity between the morphology of these species and that of C. wrairi. Oocysts undergoing sporogony, enveloped by an oocyst wall, and containing sporozoites and an oocyst residuum were observed in the calf. The contribution by cryptosporidia to the disease observed in the hosts was undetermined.
