Abstract excerpt
Enterocytozoon bieneusi is the most common microsporidia species, recognized in more than 90% cases of human microsporidiosis and has been found in a variety of animal hosts. To explore the prevalence of E. bieneusi in sheep and goats in China, genetic diversity and zoonotic potential of E. bieneusi, 193 fecal specimens from 138 sheep and 55 goats from eight farms in Heilongjiang Province, China were analyzed for...
