Until recently, human cryptosporidiosis was attributed only to human and bovine genotypes. However, other species such as Cryptosporidium canis, are able of causing infection in humans. Due to this, criptosporidiosis has caused a great interest in the public health field. The objective of this study was to investigate the real zoonotic potential of canine cryptosporidiosis, analyzing whether dogs should be considered an important source in the transmission of this disease to humans. Ten articles from PubMed, Science Direct and Scopus databases were selected for this systematic review. The main search strategy was Cryptosporidium AND dogs AND epidemiology, selecting only articles in written in english and with a maximum of five years of publication. The studies were classified according to the degree of recommendation (PHILLIPS et al., 2001). According to the literature, the main specie isolated in dogs was C. canis, which is a species-specific canine agent, but other species, such as Cryptosporidium hominis, were also isolated to a lesser extent. This specie is also known for being able to infect humans. However, due to the equal division of authors who agree or disagree about the importance of dogs regarding the zoonotic transmission of Cryptosporidium, it can be considered that the role of this host in relation to human cryptosporidiosis has not yet been defined
