TL;DR: Routine screening for intestinal parasites in HIV-positive patients is advocated and pathogenic intestinal parasites such as A. lumbricoides, hookworm, Giardia intestinalis, Entamoeba histolytica, Trichuris trichiura, and Taenia species among HIV-infected persons should not be neglected.

TL;DR: Six known genotypes of E. bieneusi, including D, A, IV, CAF2, EbpA, and Peru 8 in 31, 22, 14, 2, 1, and 1 patients, respectively, five novel genotypes, and one infection with mixed genotypes were observed in this study.

TL;DR: The population structure of Enterocytozoon bieneusi was examined by multilocus sequence typing of specimens from AIDS patients in Peru, Nigeria, and India and five specimens from captive baboons in Kenya using a combination of the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and four microsatellite and minisatellite markers.

TL;DR: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected persons are commonly infected with Cryptosporidium species and Enterocytozoon bieneusi in both developed and developing countries and HIV-infected patients on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) were enrolled in this study.

TL;DR: This study aimed to characterize the transmission of cryptosporidiosis in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients and detected Cryptosporidium species in stool specimens using a small subunit rRNA-based polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique.
