Identification and characterization of entermytazuun bieneusi isolates from the Proto—Malay and Senoi tribes in Sungai Lembing, Pahang / Azah Ashikin Azhari
Enterocytozaon bieneusi is most common of microsporidian species that infects many types of cells including human and animals. These organisms are causing long lasting diarrhea primarily in immunocompromised patients but microsporidjosis is also higher in immunooompetent individuals. The previous st...

Laboratory technique Enterocytozaon bieneusi is most common of microsporidian species that infects many types of cells including human and animals.

The previous study of microsporidial infection is mostly focused on immunodeficiency or immunosuppressive individuals. Information regarding microsporidial infections among immunocompetent individuals is lacking. Hence, this cross sectional study was carried out to determine prevalence of E‘ bieneusi infection and to find out the occurrence of E. bieneusi according to age group and gender among the Prom-Malay and Senoi tribes in Sungai Lembing, Pahang, Malaysia. Stool samples were collected fiom 209 voluntary participants; 96 males and 113 females that aged between one to 85 years old. Demographic data, socioeconomic, environmental, and behavioral infomation was collected by using pre-tested questionnaire. Overall prevalence of E‘ bieneusi infection was 3.83 % (8/209).
