Cryptosporidium fragile is a parasite which infects amphibians.[2] The oocysts have an irregular, shape (subspherical to elliptical) and surface.[3] The developing parasite is found in the gastric epithelial cells.[3]
It was first discovered in a black-spined toad (Duttaphrynus melanostictus) originating from Malaysia.[4] C. fragile is not associated with disease in humans.[1]
