The present study was carried on to compare several methods for identification of Cryptosporidium oocysts sp. which conclude modified acid fast stain, Sheather's flotation solutions, Ritchi formal-ether sedimentation solutions, noval stain and iodine technique. The modified acid-fast stain and its combination with formal – ether technique gave the best demonstration 100%. The most reliable technique for identification of oocysts was formal-ether concentration combination with modified acid fast stain (100%), followed by using modified acid fast stain only (97%), sucrose flotation technique (90%) novel staining technique (85%), formal ether concentration (84%), and iodine technique (69%) respectively.
