Seroprevalence of Encephalitozoon cuniculi in Pet Rabbits in Korea
Encephalitozoon cuniculi is a microsporidian parasite commonly found in rabbits that can infect humans, causing encephalitozoonosis. The prevalence of encephalitozoonosis is not well documented, even when many clinics suspect pet rabbits as being highly infected. This study investigated the seropositivity of E. cuniculi using ELISA. The examination of 186 rabbits using ELISA showed that 22.6% (...

Our objective in this study was to evaluate the seroprevalence of this parasite in rabbits and humans in China. METHODS Overall, 300 serum samples each from clinically healthy rabbit and human were collected from three regions of China (Sichuan Provin...
متن کاملAltered immune responsiveness associated with Encephalitozoon cuniculi infection in rabbits.
The variation in immune response of two unrelated colonies of laboratory rabbits to high doses of heat-killed Brucella abortus strain 19 was investigated. One was a mixed-breed, multicolored colony in which a high prevalence of encephalitozoonosis had been recorded, whereas the other rabbits were derived from a colony of Dutch-marked specific-pathogen-free rabits. Although considerable variatio...
