Prevalence and Novel Genotypes Identification of <i>Enterocytozoon bieneusi</i> in Dairy Cattle in Yunnan Province, China
<i>Enterocytozoon bieneusi</i> is a fungus-like protist parasite that can cause diarrhea and enteric diseases. The infection of <i>E. bieneusi</i> has been reported in many host species, including cattle and humans. However, information on prevalence and genotype distribution...
