Feng, Sheng-Yong, Chang, Han, Luo, Jing, Huang, Jing-Jing & He, Hong-Xuan, 2019, First report of Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Cryptosporidium spp. in peafowl (Pavo cristatus) in China, International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife 9, pp. 1-6 : 2

3.2. Genetic characterization of E. bieneusi and Cryptosporidium spp

In our studies, three genotypes of E. bieneusi were confirmed by sequencing the second PCR products of ITS region, including two known genotypes, genotype Peru 6 and D, and one novel genotype, termed JXP1. Genotype D was discovered in peafowl from Beijing, and genotype Peru 6 and JXP1 were from Jiangxi Province. Among the seventeen Cryptosporidium -positive fecal samples, 2 species/genotypes of Cryptosporidium, Avian genotype III and Goose genotype I, were revealed by amplifying the SSU rRNA gene. The Avian genotype III was found in peafowl from Beijing, and the other was from Jiangxi Province ( Table 3).
