متن کاملSeroprevalence of antibodies to Encephalitozoon cuniculi in domestic rabbits in Nigeria.
Serum samples from 237 randomized rabbits from the five ecological zones of Nigeria, i.e. Northwest (NW), Northeast (NE), Southeast (SE), Southwest (SW) and Northcentral (NC), were evaluated for the presence of antibodies to Encephalitozoon cuniculi by the indirect immunofluorescent antibodies test. A titre of 10 or more was taken as positive. Thirty-nine (16.5%) of the 237 samples were positiv...
متن کاملPrevalence of antibodies to Encephalitozoon cuniculi in horses from Brazil.
Encephalitozoon cuniculi has been associated with natural cases of abortion and stillbirth in horses. However, little is known about the prevalence of this parasite in horses. We examined sera from 559 horses from Brazil for antibodies to E. cuniculi using the indirect immunofluorescent antibody (IFA) test and the direct agglutination test (DAT). We found that 79 (14.1%) were positive in the IF...
متن کاملSeroprevalence 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% (...
متن کاملSeroprevalence of Encephalitozoon cuniculi in Humans and Rabbits in China
BACKGROUND Encephalitozoon cuniculi is a microsporidian parasite commonly found in rabbits that can infect humans, causing encephalitozoonosis. 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...
