Entamoeba nuttalliinfection is highly prevalent in captive and wild macaques. A recent study suggested that the genetic factor of host macaques was correlated with the genotypes ofE. nuttalliisolates. This study focused on the correlation between the rhesus macaque host major histocompatibility complex gene andE. nuttalliinfection. Thirty-nine stool samples were obtained from Mount Qing-ling (Guizhou Province, China). Polymerase chain reaction analysis detected the infection rate ofE. nuttalli,Entamoeba coli, andEntamoeba chattonias 69.23%, 69.23%, and 87.18%, respectively. A new Serine-rich Protein genotype was detected, and the rRNA ofE. nuttalliisolates from Mount Qian-ling was completely identical to the GY4 strain. In the distance-based neighbor-joining tree,Mamu-DRB1, notMamu-DPBorMamu-Bgene, was related toE. nuttalliinfection. Mamu-DRB1genes of rhesus macaques in Mounts Qian-ling and Long-hu were highly polymorphic, and the rhesus macaques with two major types ofMamu-DRB1showed susceptibility toE. nuttalliinfection. TheMamu-DRB1gene analysis in this study indicated that theMamu-DRB1gene is an important factor that influences the susceptibility ofE. nuttalliinfection in ChineseMacaca mulatta.This study contributes to a better understanding of host susceptibility toEntamoeba.
