Abstract

Enterocytozoon bieneusi is a microsporidian pathogen. Recently, the equestrian population is increasing in Ko¬rea. The horse-related zoonotic pathogens, including E. bieneusi, are concerns of public health. A total of 1,200 horse fe¬cal samples were collected from riding centers and breeding farms in Jeju Island and inland areas. Of the fecal samples 15 (1.3%) were PCR positive for E. bieneusi. Interestingly, all positive samples came from Jeju Island. Diarrhea and infec¬tion in foals were related. Two genotypes (horse1, horse2) were identified as possible zoonotic groups requiring continu-ous monitoring.
