Molecular characterization and genotyping of human related microsporidia in free-ranging and captive pigeons of Tehran, Iran.

Infection, genetics and evolution : journal of molecular epidemiology and evolutionary genetics in infectious diseases - 1 Dec 2013

Abstract excerpt

Microsporidia are opportunistic pathogens in nature infecting all animal phyla. Samples of intestinal content from 147 pigeons from various regions of Tehran (Iran) were analyzed for occurred microsporidia by PCR and sequencing. The DNA isolated from 31 samples (21%) of microsporidia-positive was amplified with specific primers for the four most frequent human microsporidia. Enterocytozoon bieneusi was the most...
