Encephalitozoon cuniculi Infection in Rabbits
intracellular parasite in the phylum Microspora, which is defined by its resistant spore stage. Microsporidia receive little attention in veterinary medical curricula because they are considered important only as parasites of rabbits and fish. Microsporidia are important parasites of humans as well, with some species causing severe disease and death in immunocompromised individuals. Microsporid...
متن کاملDiagnosis of the Encephalitozoon cuniculi infections in pet rabbits with neurological symptoms.
The purpose of the study was the in vivo diagnosing of E. cuniculi invasions in pet rabbits with neurological symptoms using the Real-Time PCR, and determination of the rate of invasion, in this group of animals. The study involved 103 pet rabbits with neurological symptoms. Parasitic invasions were diagnosed using Real-Time PCR. The DNA of the parasites for molecular tests was isolated from th...
متن کاملA new vesicular compartment in Encephalitozoon cuniculi.
The microsporidia are emerging human and veterinary pathogens known to infect every tissue type and organ system. Their infectious spore possesses a number of peculiar organelles, including the diagnostic polar tube. In a proteomics-driven effort to find novel components of this organelle in the human-pathogenic species Encephalitozoon cuniculi, we unexpectedly discovered a protein which locali...
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...
متن کاملInteractions of Encephalitozoon cuniculi polar tube proteins.
Microsporidia are eukaryotic, obligate intracellular organisms defined by small spores that contain a single invasion organelle, the polar tube, which coils around the interior of the spore. When these parasites infect host cells, the polar tube is discharged from the anterior pole of the spore, pierces the cell, and transfers sporoplasm into the cytoplasm of the host. Three polar tube proteins...
