In present study, 262 fecal specimens were collected from 12 groups of grazing horses in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China. The specimens were subjected to PCR and sequencing analyses of the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS). The overall prevalence of E. bieneusi in horses was 30.9% (81/262). No significant differences in prevalence were observed between horses of different ages or sexes. Nineteen genotypes were identified: 15 known genotypes (BEB6, CHG19, CM6, CM7, CM8, CS-1, CS-4, D, EpbA, EbpC, G, horse1, horse2, O, and Peru8) and four new genotypes (XJH1-XJH4). Six of these genotypes were previously detected in humans: BEB6, D, EbpA, EbpC, O, and Peru8. Genotype EbpC was the most prevalent (21/81), followed by EpbA (20/81), BEB6 (9/81), CM6 (4/81), horse1 (4/81), O (4/81), G (3/81), CHG19 (2/81), CM7 (2/81), horse2 (2/81), and XJH1 (2/81), whereas the remaining eight genotypes were seen in one specimen each. In a phylogenetic analysis, 14 genotypes (65/81, 80.2%), excluding genotypes BEB6, CM7, horse2, XJH1, and XJH4, belonged to group 1, which have zoonotic potential. The high diversity in the E. bieneusi genotypes and their zoonotic potential suggest that grazing horses are a potential source of zoonotic infection in humans.
