Among them, Cyclospora cayetanensis has been recognized as the causative agent of human cyclosporiasis, which is characterized by severe intestinal injury and prolonged diarrhea in patients with immune dysfunction. The presence of C. cayetanensis in cattle has been confirmed. To date, however, no surveillance data are available on the occurrence and prevalence of Cyclospora spp. in cattle in Shanxi Province, North China. In the present study, a total of 761 fecal samples collected from cattle in three representative counties (Qi, Jishan, and Shanyin) in this Province were examined for Cyclospora spp. by using a polymerase-chain-reaction\u2013restriction-fragment-length polymorphism (PCR\u2013RFLP) test based on the nuclear small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) gene. The prevalence of Cyclospora spp. in cattle was 2.1%, and region, age, sex, and breed were not identified to be risk factors. Molecular evolutionary analysis based on the SSU rRNA sequences revealed that all 12 of the isolates were relatively distant from the human pathogen C. cayetanensis; seven isolates were grouped with Cyclospora\u00a0colobi, whereas the others were grouped with cattle Cyclospora spp. reported previously. Though C. cayetanensis was not detected in cattle in the present study, more investigations should be performed in human populations, other animal species, or cattle from other regions of Shanxi Province and other environmental sources from the One Health perspective.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani14142114","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,22]],"date-time":"2024-07-22T08:24:59Z","timestamp":1721636699000},"page":"2114","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Molecular Identification and Survey of Cyclospora spp. in Cattle in Shanxi Province, North China"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-6869-9203","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ze-Xuan","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Parasitic Diseases, College of Veterinary Medicine, Shanxi Agricultural University, Taigu, Jinzhong 030801, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yu","family":"Kang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Parasitic Diseases, College of Veterinary Medicine, Shanxi Agricultural University, Taigu, Jinzhong 030801, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shi-Bo","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Parasitic Diseases, College of Veterinary Medicine, Shanxi Agricultural University, Taigu, Jinzhong 030801, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ya-Ya","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Parasitic Diseases, College of Veterinary Medicine, Shanxi Agricultural University, Taigu, Jinzhong 030801, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jin-Jin","family":"Mei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Parasitic Diseases, College of Veterinary Medicine, Shanxi Agricultural University, Taigu, Jinzhong 030801, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8473-6511","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qing","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Parasitic Diseases, College of Veterinary Medicine, Shanxi Agricultural University, Taigu, Jinzhong 030801, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2530-4628","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xing-Quan","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Parasitic Diseases, College of Veterinary Medicine, Shanxi Agricultural University, Taigu, Jinzhong 030801, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Almeria, S., Cinar, H.N., and Dubey, J.P.
