Abstract excerpt
The population structure of Enterocytozoon bieneusi was examined by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) of 64 specimens from AIDS patients in Peru, Nigeria, and India and five specimens from captive baboons in Kenya using a combination of the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and four microsatellite and minisatellite markers.
