Molecular Epidemiology of Human Microsporidiosis Caused by Enterocytozoon Bieneusi
Enterocytozoon bieneusi is a common human pathogen, responsible for more than 90% of overall human microsporidian infections. The epidemiology of E. bieneusi infections, however, is not well studied, and little is known about its transmission routes. Enterocytozoon bieneusi-like spores have been reported in surface and ground water in the United States and France, and a possible outbreak of mic...
متن کاملMolecular Identification of Enterocytozoon bieneusi Isolates from Nigerian Children
A study was conducted to detect and identify enteric microsporidian species in 43 children from Oyo state, Nigeria. Using nested polymerase chain reaction, 9.3% of the children were identified as positive for Enterocytozoon bieneusi. DNA sequencing of the PCR products showed the presence of three known genotypes (two isolates of genotype D and one of genotype K) and one new genotype. This study...

A review was conducted to examine published works that focus on the complex epidemiology of Enterocytozoon bieneusi infection in humans. Studies on the prevalence of these emerging microsporidian pathogens in humans, in developed and developing countries, the different clinical spectra of E. bieneusi intestinal infection in children, in different settings, and the risk factors associated with E...
متن کاملSeropositivity for Enterocytozoon bieneusi, Czech Republic.
To determine seropositivity for Enterocytozoon bieneusi in the Czech Republic, we tested 115 serum samples from various groups. We found that 20% from HIV-positive persons, 33% from persons with occupational exposure to animals, and 10% from healthy persons were positive by indirect immunofluorescence assay. Proteins of 32 kDa were detected in serum samples from seropositive persons.
متن کاملThe first case of Enterocytozoon bieneusi infection in Poland.
Microsporidia are intracellular parasites that cause opportunistic infections in humans of various immunological status. Only a few case reports exist on microsporidial infection in solid organ transplant recipients worldwide. The presented study demonstrates the first case in Poland of Enterocytozoon bieneusi infection in a liver transplant patient. Parasites were diagnosed in stool samples us...
