“…Potentially more problematic is the detection of C. cuniculus and the C. hominis monkey genotype by the C. hominis LIB13 PCR, although both are very closely related to C. hominis and form part of the same SSU rRNA gene clade (31) and only two human cases of C. hominis monkey genotype have been reported (24). To date there has been just one waterborne outbreak caused by C. cuniculus (10) and a sporadic case rate of 1.2% identified in the United Kingdom (6).…”

“…Molecular characterisation of C. cuniculus was first conducted on rabbit faecal samples from the Czech Republic (Ryan et al., 2003) and C. cuniculus was formally re-described as a species in 2010 (Robinson et al., 2010). Since then, it has been described from rabbits across a wide geographic area including Australia, China, the UK, the Czech Republic, Poland, France and Nigeria (Ryan et al., 2003, Nolan et al., 2010, Shi et al., 2010, Chalmers et al., 2011, Zhang et al., 2012, Nolan et al., 2013, Liu et al., 2014, Koehler et al., 2014, Puleston et al., 2014; Zahedi et al., 2015).…”

“…The natural host for C. cuniculus is the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) [13] and for C. felis, cats and C. canis, dogs. Although C. meleagridis was originally identified in farmed turkeys [14] current distribution and risk factors for human acquisition are not known; many cases report no contact with birds, the parasite species has a wide host range and other bird-restricted species are not considered a threat to human health.…”
