Sources of potentially infectious human microsporidia: molecular characterization of microsporidia isolates from exotic birds in the Czech Republic, prevalence study and importance of birds in epidemiology of the human microsporidial infections

Original language description

A total of 287 faecal specimens of captive exotic birds were randomly collected from Bohemian pet stores, avian breeders and keepers and were screened for the presence of human pathogenic microsporidia by PCR. Microsporidial DNA was identified in 115 samples (40.1%). Single-species infection was detected in 36 birds (12.5%) for E. bieneusi, 36 birds (12.5%) for E. cuniculi and 18 birds (6.3%) for E. hellem. No E. intestinalis positive samples were identified. Moreover, co-infections were detected in 25birds: E. bieneusi together with E. cuniculi in 14 animals (4.9%) or E. hellem in 11 cases (3.8%). E. hellem was present in 1A (5.2%) and III (0.3%) genotypes, E. cuniculi in I (2.4%), II (8.0%) and III (0.7%) genotypes and E. bieneusi in A (8.4%) and EbpA (10.8%) genotypes. Several of these genotypes have never been recorded in birds before. The results of this report suggest the low host specificity of detected microsporidia and describe 44 new avian hosts.
