Implication

Analysis reveals E. bieneusi prevalence in dogs, indicating zoonotic potential in Fujian province.

Key Points

  • This study aims to assess the prevalence and genetic diversity of E. bieneusi in dogs in Fujian province, China.
  • Collected 506 fecal samples from dogs across eight districts in Fujian province.
  • Utilized nested PCR to confirm E. bieneusi presence targeting the ITS gene.
  • Conducted multilocus sequence typing focusing on microsatellite and minisatellite loci.
  • E. bieneusi infection rate in dogs was 5.93% (30/506).
  • Prevalence varied significantly by urban area, with Longyan city having the highest rate (24.62%).
  • Identified three known genotypes (EbpC, PigEBITS5, PtEb IX) and three new genotypes (FJLYD1, FJLYD2, FJSMD) in positive samples.
