مستخلص: Enterocytozoon bieneusiis the most common microsporidian species in humans and can affect over 200 animal species. Considering possible increasing risk of human E. bieneusiinfection due to close contact with pet dogs and identification of zoonotic E. bieneusigenotypes, 589 fresh fecal specimens of pet dogs were collected from Yunnan Province, China to determine the occurrence of E. bieneusi, characterize dog-derived E. bieneusiisolates, and assess their zoonotic potential at the genotype level. Enterocytozoon bieneusiwas identified and genotyped by PCR and sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene. Twenty-nine specimens (4.9%) were positive. A statistical difference was observed in occurrence rates of E. bieneusiin pet dogs among 11 sampling sites by Fisher’s exact test. Fifteen genotypes were identified and all of them phylogenetically belonged to zoonotic group 1, including four known genotypes (EbpC, D, Peru 8, and Henan-III) and 11 novel genotypes. Genotype Henan-III was reported in dogs for the first time. The finding of known genotypes found previously in humans and novel genotypes falling into zoonotic group 1 indicates that dogs may play a role in the transmission of E. bieneusito humans in the investigated areas.
