Successful treatment of Enterocytozoon bieneusi gastrointestinal infection with nitazoxanide in a immunocompetent patient

IDCases, 2019
Microsporidia are organisms that are known to cause opportunistic infections in immunocompromised individuals. The gastrointestinal tract is the most common affected organ. Enterocytozoon bieneusi is the most common species that infect humans.

Prevalence and public health relevance of enteric parasites in domestic dogs and cats in the region of Madrid (Spain) with an emphasis on Giardia duodenalis and Cryptosporidium sp.

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 6, Page 2542-2558, November 2023., 2023
One in two pet dogs and cats is infected by intestinal parasites. Some of them have the potential to infect humans. Pups and kittens were at higher risk of infection. Performing a coproparasitological analysis is essential to establish a correct deworming protocol in these animals.

Genotypes and zoonotic potential of Enterocytozoon bieneusi in edible bullfrogs (Lithobates catesbeiana) in China

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2020
Enterocytozoon bieneusi, an obligate intracellular pathogen of the intestinal epithelium, is commonly identified in humans and many other animals and is ubiquitous in water sources and the environment generally. To determine the molecular prevalence of E.

Expert opinion on the identification, risk assessment, and mitigation of microorganisms and parasites relevant to xenotransplantation products from pigs

Xenotransplantation, Volume 30, Issue 5, September/October 2023., 2023
Abstract Xenotransplantation has the potential to address shortages of organs available for clinical transplantation, but concerns exist regarding potential risks posed by porcine microorganisms and parasites (MP) to the health of human recipients. In this study, a risk‐based framework was developed, and expert opinion was elicited to evaluate porcine ...

Prevalence and genetic diversity of Enterocytozoon bieneusi in sheep in China

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Enterocytozoon bieneusi is a common species of microsporidia that not only influences human health but also threatens animal productive performance and value. However, there have been no systematic studies of the prevalence of E.

Cryptosporidium, Enterocytozoon, and Cyclospora Infections in Pediatric and Adult Patients with Diarrhea in Tanzania. [PDF]

, 1999
Cryptosporidiosis, microsporidiosis, and cyclosporiasis were studied in four groups of Tanzanian inpatients: adults with AIDS-associated diarrhea, children with chronic diarrhea (of whom 23 of 59 were positive [+] for human immunodeficiency virus [HIV]),

Biliary Enterocytozoon bieneusi infection in a dog under immunomodulatory therapy

Journal of Small Animal Practice, Volume 64, Issue 8, Page 535-538, August 2023., 2023
An 8‐year‐old female spayed Labrador retriever was presented for the evaluation of severe weight loss 10 weeks after starting an immunomodulatory treatment, including prednisolone and cyclosporine, for meningoencephalitis of unknown origin. Plasma biochemistry analysis showed mild to moderate increases in liver enzyme activities and a moderate decrease

Draft genome sequence of the Daphnia pathogen Octosporea bayeri: insights into the gene content of a large microsporidian genome and a model for host-parasite interactions [PDF]

, 2009
Background: The highly compacted 2.9-Mb genome of Encephalitozoon cuniculi placed the microsporidia in the spotlight, encoding a mere 2,000 proteins and a highly reduced suite of biochemical pathways.

Assessment of genetic markers for multilocus sequence typing (MLST) of Fasciola isolates from Iran

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 2, Page 924-933, March 2023., 2023
MLST analysis was developed based on five genes (ND1, Pepck, Pold, Cyt b and HSP70) after genomic DNA extraction, amplification and sequencing. Thirty‐three Fasciola isolates (19 F. hepatica and 14 F. gigantica) were obtained from the infected livers (sheep n = 16, cattle n = 48 and goat n = 4) in Kermanshah Province, Iran.

Prevalence and molecular characterization of Enterocytozoon bieneusi and a new Enterocytozoon sp. in pet hairless guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) from China

Parasite, 2023
Enterocytozoon bieneusi, the most common microsporidian species, has been detected in humans and a variety of animals worldwide. However, limited information is available on the prevalence and molecular characterization of this parasite in guinea pigs ...
