Molecular characterization and new genotypes of Enterocytozoon bieneusi in minks (Neovison vison) in China

Parasite, 2018
Microsporidiosis is an emerging and opportunistic disease, and Enterocytozoon bieneusi is the main cause of this disease in humans. Little information is available on prevalence and genotyping of E. bieneusi in minks.

Prevalence and genotypes of Enterocytozoon bieneusi in pigs in southern China

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2018
Enterocytozoon bieneusi is one of the most important causative agents of microsporidiosis, causing diarrhoea the symptoms of enteric disease in humans and animals. Although there is some information on the prevalence and genotypes of E. bieneusi in China, there is still a lack of data in pigs in southern China.
