Abstract
Diarrheal disease is among the leading causes of death Children who show growth from 5 years old, especially in developing countries. The current study included 112 children under the age of five suffering from diarrhea, vomiting, high temperatures, severe weakness, and decreased fluid retention. The percentage of infection with Cryptosporidium spp was (38.4%), and the incidence of rotavirus was recorded at (33.1%). The percentage of females infected with the cryptosporidium parasite was 26 (45.3%) higher than males (17) 29.8%, while the rate of rotavirus infection in males was 21 (37.7%) higher than that of females 16 (28.17%), and this increase did not make a significant difference when A significant level of significance less than 0.05, in contrast to cryptosporidium.
Infection with the cryptosporidium parasite and rotavirus was widespread among the age groups ranging from less than five years, and the age group less than a year infected with the cryptosporidium parasite was recorded as 36 (83.7%) and the rate of infection with rotavirus 28 (75.7%),. followed by the age group 1-2 years 4 (9.3%) with cryptosporidium and 5 (13.5%) rotavirus. While the lowest incidence of Cryptosporidium and Virus, which was equal in the age group 4-5 years, was (2.7%) and no positive infection with Cryptosporidium was recorded in the age groups (3-4) years and (2-3) years respectively.. It did not make a difference when Likelihood level P> 0.05.
As for the feeding factor, the artificial feeding recorded the highest incidence of cryptosporidium and rotavirus 33 (43.4%) and 31 (40.8%) respectively As for the feeding factor, artificial feeding was. recorded with the highest incidence of cryptosporidium and rotavirus 33 (43.4%) and 31 (40.8%), respectively, while the incidence of breastfeeding was 3 (37.5%).The percentage of positive infection with the Cryptosporidium parasite was recorded in the group of children dependent on breastfeeding and artificial feeding in their feeding, as it reached 7 (26.9%) and no infection with cryptosporidium parasite was recorded, according to statistical analysis there is a significant relationship between the groups infected with rotavirus and the quality of nutrition is statistically significant P <0.05.. Unlike infection with the Cryptosporidium parasite, it does not score much difference at a probability level less than 0.05. .Despite relying on drinking filtered and boiled water, the rate of...
