title: Gastroenteritis caused by the Cryptosporidium hedgehog genotype in an immunocompetent man.
abstract: The Cryptosporidium hedgehog genotype, which has been reported previously in hedgehogs and horses, was identified as the cause of the diarrheal disease cryptosporidiosis in an immunocompetent man in the Czech Republic. This is the first report of human illness caused by the Cryptosporidium hedgehog genotype.
