Prevalence of Cryptosporidium spp. and Enterocytozoon bieneusi in beef cattle in the Hebei Province of China
Cryptosporidium spp. and Enterocytozoon bieneusi (E. bieneusi) are two common opportunistic pathogens that can infect humans and animals worldwide. The available data on the prevalence of these pathogens is insufficient in Hebei Province, China, which is located in the Bohai Sea region. In the present study, 718 fecal specimens of native beef cattle from eight farms in Hebei Province were examined for the presence of Cryptosporidium spp. and E. bieneusi using nested PCR targeting the small subunit (SSU) rRNA gene of Cryptosporidium spp. and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of E. bieneusi. The prevalence of Cryptosporidium spp. was 9.2% (66/718) and E. bieneusi was 8.6% (62/718). C. andersoni (n = 56) and C. parvum (n = 10) were identified in this study, and all C. parvum-positive specimens belonged to IIdA20G1 in the gp60 gene. The ITS sequence analysis obtained seven known E. bieneusi genotypes, including J (n = 48), BEB4 (n = 4), CHC8 (n = 3), EbpC (n = 2), I (n = 2), D (n = 2), and BEB6 (n = 1). Genotype D and EbpC belonged to the zoonotic Group 1, while the other genotype belonged to the host-adapted Group 2. This is the first report on the occurrence of E. bieneusi in beef cattle in Hebei Province. In this study, the presence of zoonotic C. parvum and two E. bieneusi genotypes suggest that cattle can be a potential zoonotic source for human or animal infection.
期刊介绍:
"Medycyna Weterynaryjna" publishes various types of articles which are grouped in the following editorial categories: reviews, original studies, scientific and professional problems, the history of veterinary medicine, posthumous memoirs, as well as chronicles that briefly relate scientific advances and developments in the veterinary profession and medicine. The most important are the first two categories, which are published with short summaries in English. Moreover, from 2001 the editors of "Medycyna Weterynaryjna", bearing in mind market demands, has also started publishing entire works in English. Since 2008 the periodical has appeared in an electronic version. The following are available in this version: summaries of studies published from 1999 to 2005, full versions of all the studies published in the years 2006-2011 (in pdf files), and full versions of the English studies published in the current year (pdf). Only summaries of the remaining studies from the current year are available. In accordance with the principles accepted by the editors, the full versions of these texts will not be made available until next year.
All articles are evaluated twice by leading Polish scientists and professionals before they are considered for publication. For years now "Medycyna Weterynaryjna" has maintained a high standard thanks to this system. The review articles are actually succinct monographs dealing with specific scientific and professional problems that are based on the most recent findings. Original works have a particular value, since they present research carried out in Polish and international scientific centers.
