Molecular-Based Detection of in Farmed Masked Palm Civets () in Hainan, China: A High-Prevalence, Specificity, and Zoonotic Potential of ITS Genotypes.

is a microsporidian and zoonotic species. This study investigated the prevalence and distribution of genotypes in farmed masked palm civets using nested PCR, as well as assessed their zoonotic potential by phylogenetic analysis of the ITS region of the rRNA region. Here, we collected 251 fecal specimens from farmed masked palm civets () from the Hainan Island, China.
