Abstract

ABSTRACT This study demonstrated that a person with 30 min of occupational or nonoccupational exposure to urban feral pigeons, such as exposure through the cleaning of surfaces contaminated with pigeon excrement, could inhale approximately 3.5 × 10 3 Enterocytozoon bieneusi spores and that 1.3 × 10 3 spores could be inhaled by a nearby person.
