Enterocytozoon bieneusi  is an important pathogen commonly found in humans and animals. Farmed animals with close contact to humans are important hosts of  E. bieneusi . The role of goats in the transmission of  E. bieneusi , however, remains unclear. In this study, 341 fresh fecal samples of black goats were collected from five locations in Hainan Province, China.  Enterocytozoon bieneusi  was identified and genotyped by sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. Phylogenetic analysis was performed by constructing a neighbor-joining tree of the ITS gene sequences. The average prevalence of  E. bieneusi  in black goats was 24.0% (82/341) with rates ranging from 6.3% (4/63) to 37.2% (32/86) across the locations ( χ  2  = 17.252,  p  < 0.01). Eight genotypes of  E. bieneusi  were identified, including six known genotypes: CHG5 ( n  = 47); CHG3 ( n  = 23); CHG2 ( n  = 4); CM21 ( n  = 3); D ( n  = 2); and AHG1 ( n  = 1), and two novel genotypes termed HNG-I ( n  = 1) and HNG-II ( n  = 1). In the phylogenetic tree, genotype D was clustered into Group 1 and the other identified genotypes were included in Group 2. This represents the first report identifying  E. bieneusi  in black goats from Hainan Province, with a high prevalence and wide occurrence demonstrated. The two new genotypes identified provide additional insights into the genotypic variations in  E. bieneusi . Due to the small percentage of zoonotic genotypes in these animals, there is minimal risk of zoonotic transmission of  E. bieneusi .
