Pigs as natural hosts of Dientamoeba fragilis genotypes found in humans.

Emerging infectious diseases - 1 May 2012

Abstract excerpt

Dientamoeba fragilis is a common intestinal parasite in humans. Transmission routes and natural host range are unknown. To determine whether pigs are hosts, we analyzed 152 fecal samples by microscopy and molecular methods. We confirmed that pigs are a natural host and harbor genotypes found in humans, suggesting zoonotic potential.
