However, because
relevant molecular epidemiological surveys have been limited, the prevalences of these species remain unknown and their
pathogenicities are still controversial. We surveyed 196 fecal samples of pigs (118 of adults, 78 of piglets) at Tangerang in
West Java, Indonesia, in 2017, employing PCR using porcine Entamoeba-specific primers. E. suis was the more frequently
detected species, observed in 81.1% of samples, while E. polecki ST1 and ST3 were detected in 18.4% and 17.3% of samples,
respectively; mixed infections (harboring 2–3 species or subtypes of Entamoeba) were confirmed in 29.3% of positive samples.
Statistically significant differences in the positive rates were not seen between adult pigs and piglets, except for those of E. polecki
ST3. The prevalences of Eimeria spp. and/or Cystoisospora suis (79.1%), strongyles (55.6%), and Strongyloides spp. (6.1%)
were also observed morphologically in the samples. Further chronological or seasonal investigations of pigs and humans in these
high-prevalence areas are needed to assess the virulence of the Entamoeba parasites, including the effects on pig productivity, and
to evaluate the zoonotic impacts of these organisms 4aIndonesia  ahttps://doi.org/10.1007/s00436-020-06806-0  a00000020612
