Enterocytozoon bieneusi is a widespread parasite with high genetic diversity among hosts. Its natural reservoir remains elusive and data on population structure are available only in isolates from primates. Here we describe a population genetic study of 101 E. bieneusi isolates from pigs using sequence analysis of the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and four mini- and microsatellite markers. The presence of strong linkage disequilibrium (LD) and limited genetic recombination indicated a clonal structure for the population. Bayesian inference of phylogeny, structural analysis, and principal coordinates analysis separated the overall population into three subpopulations (SP3 to SP5) with genetic segregation of the isolates at some geographic level. Comparative analysis showed the differentiation of SP3 to SP5 from the two known E. bieneusi subpopulations (SP1 and SP2) from primates. The placement of a human E. bieneusi isolate in pig subpopulation SP4 supported the zoonotic potential of some E. bieneusi isolates. Network analysis showed directed evolution of SP5 to SP3/SP4 and SP1 to SP2. The high LD and low number of inferred recombination events are consistent with the possibility of host adaptation in SP2, SP3, and SP4. In contrast, the reduced LD and high genetic diversity in SP1 and SP5 might be results of broad host range and adaptation to new host environment. The data provide evidence of the potential occurrence of host adaptation in some of E. bieneusi isolates that belong to the zoonotic ITS Group 1. This study explored the genetic characteristics of the ITS and four mini- and microsatellite markers and assessed the population structure and substructures in 101 E. bieneusi isolates from pigs in China. The measures of LD and recombination events supported the occurrence of clonal evolution among the isolates from four study areas of China. Three subpopulations (SP3 to SP5) with potentially varied host ranges were identified within the isolates, which were genetically differentiated from two existing primate subpopulations SP1 and SP2. Population genetic analysis indicated that the isolates in SP1 and SP5 with clonal structure might be responsible for the cross-species transmission and thus have zoonotic potential, while the isolates in SP2, SP3, and SP4 with epidemic structure or host-adapted traits might colonize specific hosts. The data revealed the presence of clonality, potential host adaptation, and population differentiation of E. bieneusi in different hosts.
