Could you elaborate on cryptosporidiosis in sheep and goats? I'm curious to understand the nature of this infection, its symptoms, and how it impacts the health of these animals. Is it a common occurrence? Are there preventative measures that farmers can take? And, in terms of treatment, are there any effective means of combatting cryptosporidiosis in sheep and goats once they've contracted it? I'd appreciate a comprehensive overview of this topic to better understand its implications for livestock management.

Cryptosporidium parvum, for instance, is widely recognized as a major cause of cryptosporidiosis in humans, particularly among young children and immunocompromised individuals.

On the other hand, Cryptosporidium ubiquitum and Cryptosporidium xiaoi are more commonly associated with infections in animals, although they can also pose a risk to humans under certain conditions.
