The peak of infection during Summer (15.53) followed by Spring and Autumn (11.66and 8.77% respectively) . The lowest infection rate was found during Winter (4.34%). Morphometrically, the obtained species was identified as Crytosporidium baileyi. The present study deal also with the gross pathology and histopathological alterations in the intestine and bursa. Cryptosporidium species was described many years ago in a wide range of hosts including mammals, birds and man by many authors ( Tyzzer, 1907 and 1912 ); (Slavin, 1955); (Angus, 1983); (Tzipori, 1983) and (Badway and El-Sawy, 1995).

So, the present study was done in order to identify the Cryptosporidium species infesting birds in Port- Said Province, Egypt; estimating its seasonal incidence and pathogencity.
