The first finding of antibodies to Encephalitozoon cuniculi in cows in Slovakia

Veterinary Parasitology, 1999
The presence of antibodies against Encephalitozoon cuniculi in cows was observed by the method of indirect immunofluorescence (IFAT). The animals reacting at the titre 1:64 and more were considered positive. Of the total number of 55 sera examined, 20 were positive at the titre 1:64, from which four were positive at the titre 1:256 also.

Antibody against Encephalitozoon cuniculi in Swedish Homosexual Men

Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1984
Sera of 30 Swedish homosexual men belonging to the group at risk for the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) were examined for antibodies against various opportunistic parasites. Antibodies to Encephalitozoon cuniculi were found in 33%, to Pneumocystis carinii in 43%, and to Toxoplasma gondii in 37%. The results indicate that E. cuniculi might be

Microsporidia (phylum Microsporidia) are intracellular parasites that infect a wide range of protozoa, invertebrates and vertebrate hosts. Over a 1000 species have been classified into approximately 100 genera. Historically, microsporidial infections in silkworms, honey bees, and salmonid fish have been responsible for significant economic losses. More

Serological survey for antibody to Encephalitozoon cuniculi in horses in the USA

Parasitology Research, 2014
Encephalitozoon cuniculi is an obligate intracellular microsporidian parasite that can result in clinical and subclinical infection in many species. In the present study, a serological survey was conducted using samples from 105 horses in the state of New Jersey; 49 of the samples were obtained from clinically abnormal animals.

Serological survey for antibodies to Encephalitozoon cuniculi in rabbits in Taiwan

Veterinary Parasitology, 2011
Encephalitozoon cuniculi (E. cuniculi) is a microsporidian parasite commonly found in rabbits that can infect humans, causing encephalitozoonosis. Our laboratory recently confirmed the first case of encephalitozoonosis in a rabbit in Taiwan; the prevalence of encephalitozoonosis is not well documented, even when many clinics suspect pet rabbits as ...
