Enterocytozoon Bieneusi - Unanswered Questions

Unanswered Questions

Much more work needs to be done in characterizing this pathogen as this was discovered relatively recently. Moreover, work needs to be done in studying effects in a broad range of species such as swine (not just humans) as this will reveal the multi-faceted nature of E. bieneusi. Furthermore, a concrete plan on treatment in pigs needs to be developed and its effects on specific stages of lifecycle should be measured to see where it can be effectively controlled. Also, it is not known whether E. bieneusi gets any diseases itself, and while the morbidity effects are known, the effects of this pathogen on reproduction are not known.

Famous quotes related to unanswered questions:

    All of childhood’s unanswered questions must finally be passed back to the town and answered there. Heroes and bogey men, values and dislikes, are first encountered and labeled in that early environment. In later years they change faces, places and maybe races, tactics, intensities and goals, but beneath those penetrable masks they wear forever the stocking-capped faces of childhood.
    Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
