Assessment of potential zoonotic transmission of from dogs and cats.

is one of the major causes of diarrhea among humans, especially in young children. Statistical analysis revealed that the pooled prevalence of in humans, dogs, and cats was 9.72% (10,921/112383), 15.60% (7510/48140), and 14.53% (1125/7740), respectively. Unquestionably, the canine-specific assemblages C and D and the feline-specific assemblage F were the dominant genotypes in dogs and cats, respectively. Additionally, the prevalence of zoonotic assemblages (A and B) in dogs and cats was 23.07% (875/3792) and 41.42% (169/408), respectively, implying that the potential transmission of from dogs and cats to human infection cannot be ignored. The highest frequency of potentially zoonotic assemblages was found among working dogs (3.55%, 25/705) and the 1-5 age group (22.92%, 11/48). In summary, dogs and cats have a significant role in the zoonotic transmission of due to their close contact with humans and the higher frequency presence of zoonotic assemblages. Further studies are necessary to explore the presence of among humans and animals and in environmental samples. Researchers should adopt a one-health approach to gain a deeper understanding of in dogs and cats and potential transmission routes to humans.
