Association between animal contact and infection with Cryptosporidium species or C. parvum and C. hominis subtypes in HIV/AIDS patients in Ethiopia*.

*Contacts with specific animal species other than cattle were not significant risk factors in this study.**95% CI: 95% confidence intervals.#Multivariable logistic regressions were performed to adjust the potential confounders including age, gender, HAART, CD4, and type of patients when sample size was sufficient. na: sample size was too small for multivariate logistic regression analysis.##Hosmer and Lemeshow test was applied to test the goodness of fit of multivariate logistics regression models.###For each Cryptosporidium species or subtype family, patients with the species or subtype family were taken as “positive”, patients who were not infected at all were taken as “negative” (referent), while patients infected with other species or subtype families were not included in this specific model.
