Abstract

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to jointly report prevalence and genotyping of Cryptosporidium spp., G. duodenalis, and E. bieneusi among hospitalized children in Inner Mongolia. Moreover, a mixed infection of two protozoa was detected; C. bovis and E. bieneusi were detected in hospitalized children in Inner Mongolia; a mixed infection of G. duodenalis assemblages AI and E was observed in humans; and E. bieneusi genotype J was identified as the dominant genotype in the evaluated population.
