Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Enterocytozoon bieneusi is the most reported microsporidian species in humans worldwide, with high prevalences also documented in animals, particularly pigs. Due to limited information on E. bieneusi in Italian livestock, this cross-sectional observational study aimed to investigate its prevalence, genetic diversity, and associated risk factors in pigs. For this purpose, 440 faecal samples were...
