N2 - Cryptosporidium canis is reported for the first time in 2 toddlers in Northwestern Mexico. The 2 toddlers (33 and 34 months old) were symptomatic at diagnosis, presenting diarrhea and fever, and 1 case presented chronic malnutrition. Both toddlers were HIV-negative. C. canis was identified by SspI and VspI restriction enzyme digestion of the 18S rRNA polymerase chain reaction products and confirmed by sequence analysis.
