Genetic diversity within dominant Enterocytozoon bieneusi genotypes in pre-weaned calves

Genetic diversity within dominant Enterocytozoon bieneusi genotypes in pre-weaned calves

Abstract Background Cattle are commonly infected with the microsporidian parasite Enterocytozoon bieneusi. Sequence characterization of E. bieneusi in these animals at the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) locus had identified I, J and BEB4 as the dominant genotypes. However, current studi...
