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 کاملPrevention and treatment of Encephalitozoon cuniculi infection in immunosuppressed rabbits with fenbendazole
This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of oral administration of fenbendazole (20 mg/kg body weight) prior to and after experimental infection of immunosuppressed rabbits with Encephalitozoon cuniculi. A total of thirty rabbits were divided into five groups: NN (non-immunosuppressed; non-infected), IN (immunosuppressed; non-infected), IPI (immunosuppressed; protected-infected), ITI (...
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 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...
متن کاملSerological survey of Encephalitozoon cuniculi infection in cats in Japan
Antibodies to Encephalitozoon cuniculi (E. cuniculi) were examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using E. cuniculi PTP2 recombinant protein from serum samples that had been collected from a total of 295 cats in Japan. Of these samples, 6.1% (18/295) had antibodies against E. cuniculi, which included 6.3% (6/96) of the male cats and 6.0% (12/199) of the female cats. The incidence was slig...
