Abstract
Milk specimens from 180 dairy cows were examined for the presence of Enterocytozoon bieneusi, using molecular assays. Fifteen specimens were found to be positive, of which 3 were identical to the human E. bieneusi types, which suggests that some E. bieneusi isolates from milk can infect humans. Overall, dairy cows' milk may play a significant role in the transmission of E. bieneusi infections to humans.Entities:
