Enterocytozoon bieneusi, an important microsporidian fungus, causes chronic diarrhea in humans and animals worldwide. Out of the 502 fecal samples from wild boars, 13 were positive for the E. bieneusi internal transcribed spacer region, with a prevalence of 2.6%. Six E. bieneusi genotypes, D, EbpC, and four novel KWB1-KWB4, were identified with zoonotic potential. Genotypes D (subgroup 1a) and EbpC (subgroup 1d) were first reported in Korean swine and Korea, respectively; KWB1-KWB4 (subgroup 1e) were most prevalent in this study. Because zoonotic genotypes have been identified, E. bieneusi transmission through wild boars must be closely monitored for proper prevention and treatment, despite their low prevalence.

肠微孢子虫(Enterocytozoon bieneusi),一种重要的微孢子真菌,可导致全球人类和动物的慢性腹泻。在 502 份野猪粪便样本中,有 13 份 E. bieneusi 内部转录间隔区呈阳性,阳性率为 2.6%。鉴定出了 6 种肠微孢子虫基因型,即 D、EbpC 和 4 种新型的 KWB1-KWB4,具有潜在的人畜共患病。基因型 D(亚组 1a)和 EbpC(亚组 1d)首次在韩国猪和韩国报道;在本研究中,KWB1-KWB4(亚组 1e)最为普遍。由于已鉴定出了人畜共患病基因型,因此必须密切监测野猪中的肠微孢子虫传播,以便进行适当的预防和治疗,尽管其流行率较低。
