Sequence variation in the ITS region of the rRNA gene of Enterocytozoon bieneusi isolates from pet chipmunks. The ITS sequences of four known genotypes (D, Nig7, CHG9, and CHY1) and the four novel genotypes (SCC-1 to 4), identified in this study, were aligned with each other. The dots and transverse lines indicate base identities and deletions, respectively, relative to the ITS sequence of genotype D
