Overview

Narrative review reveals genetic diversity of Enterocytozoon bieneusi in ungulates and pets, highlighting public health concerns.

Key Points

  • To synthesize data on the occurrence and genetic diversity of E. bieneusi in European domestic ungulates and pets.
  • Systematic screening of publications from the Web of Science Core Collection database
  • Extraction of country-specific results
  • Analysis of prevalence rates and genotype distributions
  • E. bieneusi is prevalent in cattle and pigs, the most studied hosts in Europe.
  • Predominant genotypes include zoonotic group 1 genotypes I, J, BEB4, BEB6, and EbpA.
  • Significant data gaps exist for small ruminants, horses, and buffaloes.
  • In pets, the predominant dog-adapted genotype is PtEb IX, along with other zoonotic genotypes.
