Zoonotic disease classification in wildlife: a theoretical framework for researchers
Classification systems are useful tools for aggregating diseases to study them in more detail. However, the current systems are mainly designed for use in health care and fail to capture many details of zoonotic diseases. The goal of this study was to develop a framework for the classification of zoonotic diseases which can generate data useful to ...

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.

Genetic diversity within dominant Enterocytozoon bieneusi genotypes in pre-weaned calves
Background Cattle are commonly infected with the microsporidian parasite Enterocytozoon bieneusi. Sequence characterization of E. bieneusi in these animals at the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) locus had identified I, J and BEB4 as the ...

Identification and Characterization of Three Spore Wall Proteins of Enterocytozoon Bieneusi
Enterocytozoon bieneusi is the most common microsporidian pathogen in farm animals and humans. Although several spore wall proteins (SWPs) of other human-pathogenic microsporidia have been identified, SWPs of E. bieneusi remain poorly characterized.

Frequent Occurrence of Mixed Enterocytozoon bieneusi Infections in Humans [PDF]
ABSTRACT Enterocytozoon bieneusi (phylum Microsporidia ) is a human pathogen with a broad host range. Following the sequencing of 3.8 Mb of the estimated 6-Mb E. bieneusi genome, simple sequence repeats (micro- and minisatellites) were identified. Sequencing of four such

Zoonotic Enterocytozoon bieneusi in raw wastewater in Zhengzhou, China [PDF]
Contamination of Enterocytozoon bieneusi Desportes, Charpentier, Galian, Bernard, Cochand-Priollet, Laverne, Ravisse, et Modigliani, 1985 in water sources may cause outbreaks of microsporidiosis. To examine the occurrence of E. bieneusi, 108 raw wastewater samples were collected from three wastewater treated plants in Zhengzhou, China.
