چکیده
Abstract Microsporidia are enteric intracellular pathogens infecting animals and humans. It causes life-threatening diarrhoea in species have been isolated from several domestic wild animals, however, data on microsporidia infection Nigeria is still very scanty. This study was conducted to clarify improve our knowledge of the possibility zoonotic origin Enterocytozoon environment. Two hundred fifty (250) animal faecal samples various farm were examined for their frequency spores using Weber’s chromotrope stain Indirect Fluorescence Antibody Test (IFAT). bienuesi detected 6 (24.0%) turkeys, 2 (8.0 %) goats, 3(12.0 cattle, 4(16.0%) rams. No reactivity with other by IFAT. confirms presence E. shows that can be a significant source transmission
