Prevalence and Molecular Characterization of Enterocytozoon bieneusi in Horses From Northern and Eastern China: Investigation of Associated Risk Factors and Assessment of Zoonotic Potential. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Enterocytozoon bieneusi is a zoonotic microsporidian threatening public health, yet epidemiological data on equine infections in China are scarce despite frequent human–horse contact. In this study, 412 fresh horse fecal samples were collected from four Chinese regions covering four rearing systems and were screened for E. bieneusi internal transcribed

Enterocytozoon bieneusi, a human pathogen. [PDF]

Emerg Microbes Infect
Although brought to the forefront in the 1980s with the AIDS pandemic, microsporidia infecting humans are still little known. Enterocytozoon bieneusi, by far the most frequent microsporidia species causing diseases in humans, is responsible for ...

Genotype identification and phylogenetic analysis of Enterocytozoon bieneusi in farmed black goats (Capra hircus) from China’s Hainan Province

Parasite, 2019
Enterocytozoon bieneusi is an important pathogen commonly found in humans and animals. Farmed animals with close contact to humans are important hosts of E. bieneusi. The role of goats in the transmission of E. bieneusi, however, remains unclear. In this

New operational taxonomic units of Enterocytozoon in three marsupial species

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Enterocytozoon bieneusi is a microsporidian, commonly found in animals, including humans, in various countries. However, there is scant information about this microorganism in Australasia. In the present study, we conducted the first molecular
