An unusual Enterocytozoon bieneusi genotype was found in seven guinea pigs and a 2-year-old child in the same household. The genetic uniqueness of the parasite, its wide occurrence in other guinea pigs in the community, and its absence in other children in the community suggest the possibility of zoonotic transmission of the infection to the study child.
在同一家庭的7只豚鼠和一名2岁儿童中发现了一种不寻常的微小隐孢子虫基因型。该寄生虫的基因独特性、在社区其他豚鼠中的广泛存在以及在社区其他儿童中的未发现,提示了该感染向受试儿童人畜共患传播的可能性。
