“…The imbalance of meat and milk consumption, cattle population, and animal market price differences across Chinese provinces accelerate inter- and intra-provincial movement or trade of live animals and animal products. Although studies have investigated animal movement and trade patterns between Chinese pig farms and markets regarding other infectious diseases [ 98 , 99 ], the impact of cattle movements on B. abortus transmission remains unexplored in China. Assessing the effectiveness of the current measures to prevent B. abortus transmission through live cattle movements should be a priority to develop more targeted and effective control measures [ 98 , 100 ].…”

“…China is the world's largest pork consumer, while Hunan, Jiangxi and Fujian are the three major pig production provinces. Especially, Hunan province is the third largest province where the number of pig production accounted for 9.0% of the national number in 2017 (Shi et al., 2021). E. bieneusi infection causes diarrhoea, thus the infectious pigs can excrete more spores, causing the spread of E. bieneusi .…”

Enterocytozoon bieneusi is an important pathogen that is responsible for over 90% of documented cases of human microsporidiosis worldwide, causing a threat to public health and husbandry development. In immunocompromised patients, it can cause persistent diarrhoea, wasting diathesis and malabsorption and developing life‐threatening chronic diarrhoea. However, there was little information on the prevalence and multilocus genotypes of E. bieneusi in diarrheic pigs in three provinces of southern China. In this study, 1254 faecal samples of diarrheic pigs were collected from 37 pig farms in Hunan, Jiangxi, and Fujian provinces in southern China, and were investigated the prevalence and genotypes of E. bieneusi by nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the nuclear ribosomal DNA gene. The overall prevalence of E. bieneusi was 5.7% (72/1254) in three provinces. Furthermore, the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.001) in the prevalence of E. bieneusi in age groups. ITS sequence analysis revealed that 13 E. bieneusi genotypes were identified, including 8 known genotypes (EbpC, n = 30; Henan‐IV, n = 21; CH5, n = 6; EbpA, n = 3; KIN‐1, n = 2; O, n = 1; GX3, n = 1; CHS5, n = 1) and 5 novel genotypes (JX1, n = 2; JX2, n = 1; JX3, n = 2; FJ1, n = 1; FJ2, n = 1), and the genotype EbpC was the preponderant genotype. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that all genotypes of E. bieneusi were clustered as the zoonotic group 1. Moreover, a high genetic diversity of E. bieneusi were identified in this study, which the 64, 57, 52 and 64 samples were identified by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) at MS1, MS3, MS4 and MS7 loci, respectively. Then, 45 samples were successfully amplified and sequenced at four loci, forming 41 distinct multilocus genotypes (MLGs). These findings suggest that diarrheic pigs may potentially threaten to transmit E. bieneusi to humans, revealing E. bieneusi genetic variability in diarrheic pigs in three provinces of southern China.
