Molecular characterization of Cryptosporidium spp. and Giardia duodenalis in pet dogs in Xinjiang, China.

Cryptosporidium spp. and Giardia duodenalis are opportunistic zoonotic protozoa transmitted through several routes. In this study, a total of 604 fecal samples were collected from pet dogs in Xinjiang, China to detect the presence of Cryptosporidium spp.

Common occurrence of genotypes SHR1 and PL2 in farmed masked palm civet () in China.

is a common pathogen in a broad range of vertebrate hosts. To assess the prevalence and genotypes of in farmed masked palm civet (), 537 fecal samples from seven provinces in China were tested by nested PCR of the polymorphic internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. Among of all the samples, 60.

Molecular detection and genotyping of Enterocytozoon bieneusi in pet dogs in Xinjiang, Northwestern China.

Enterocytozoon bieneusi is an obligate intracellular parasitic fungi that infects a wide range of mammalian hosts. However, the literature is lacking information regarding the presence and diversity of E. bieneusi genotypes in domesticated dogs in Northwestern China.

Genetic Diversity of in Bactrian Camels () in Xinjiang, Northwestern China.

species are ubiquitous enteric protozoan pathogens of vertebrates distributed worldwide. The purpose of this study was to gain insight into the zoonotic potential and genetic diversity of spp. in Bactrian camels in Xinjiang, northwestern China.

Host-adaptation of the rare Enterocytozoon bieneusi genotype CHN4 in Myocastor coypus (Rodentia: Echimyidae) in China.

Background: Enterocytozoon bieneusi is a zoonotic gastrointestinal pathogen and can infect both humans and animals. The coypu (Myocastor coypus) is a semi-aquatic rodent, in which few E. bieneusi infections have been reported and the distribution of genotypes and zoonotic potential remains unknown.

Molecular characterization and novel genotypes of in pet snakes in Beijing, China.

Little is known regarding the genotypes in snakes worldwide. In the present study, a total of 273 fecal samples were collected from pet snakes in Beijing, China. They were then tested for the presence of by PCR amplification of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) gene.
