Abstract:
Enterocytozoon bieneusi, which has recently been re-classified as a fungus, was identified in 5.2% (3/58) bat intestinal tissues and 1.9% (4/210) bat feces collected in South Korea. The positive cases were classified into six genotypes including four novel genotypes, KBAT1-KBAT4, based on sequence analysis of the E. bieneusi internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. In addition, a novel genotype, KBAT3, belonged to group 1, which is considered having zoonotic potential by phylogenetic analysis of the E. bieneusi ITS region. This study expands our knowledge of the host range of E. bieneusi.
