Table 1.
The rate of Cryptosporidium detected at the different loci per screened site and site category. All sites are in New South Wales; the precise location is withheld for some sites for the safety of the animals. KV means Kangaroo Valley. Samples at the loci (18S rRNA, actin and gp60) were deemed as positive after DNA sequencing.
