Encephalitozoonosis in pharmacologically immunosuppressed mice

Experimental Parasitology, 2012
Encephalitozoon cuniculi is a parasite that has been identified as a cause of opportunistic infections in immunocompromised individuals. This study was performed to evaluate E. cuniculi infection in pharmacologically immunosuppressed mice. Mice were immunosuppressed with cyclophosphamide (100mg/kg twice a week, IP) or cyclosporin (10mg/kg daily, IP ...

Fatal encephalitozoonosis in two koalas

Australian Veterinary Journal, 2007
Two young koalas from a fauna park, recently out of the pouch and approximately 6 months old, were found dead with no previous clinical signs or gross lesions. On histopathological examination, large numbers of spores consistent with a microsporidian organism were present intracellularly within the small intestinal mucosa.

India-Ink Immunoreaction for Encephalitozoonosis: Phototechnique

Laboratory Animals, 1979
Summary We present photographs of an immunoreaction which has to be viewed as a wet preparation under high-power oil-immersion microscopy. The difficulties of varying focal plane and constant movement of the specimen were overcome by the use of electronic flash.

The aetiology and management of encephalitozoonosis in rabbits.

Veterinary Nursing Journal, 2023
Encephalitozoonosis is a significant microsporidial disease, often presenting in pet rabbits. This opportunistic parasite can spread to humans and many other animal species. With rabbit pet ownership becoming increasingly common, veterinary nurses (VNs) should aim to educate owners on the husbandry, welfare and preventative care their pet rabbit needs.

Mechanisms of resistance/susceptibility to murine encephalitozoonosis

Parasite Immunology, 1989
Summary Mechanisms of resistance/susceptibility to the obligate intracellular protozoan Encephalitozoon cuniculi were studied in resistant BALB/c and susceptible C57BL/6 mice. Three immunological functions were examined: the production of lymphokine(s) (LK) by T‐lymphocytes, the proliferative response of spleen cells to parasite spore fragments, and ...

Isolation of the Causative Organism of Canine Encephalitozoonosis

Veterinary Pathology, 1978
Spontaneous infection with Encephalitozoon cuniculi resulted in a lethal disease in all but one of a litter of puppies in Texas. The disease was characterized by severe nonsuppurative nephritis, encephalitis and segmental vasculitis. Many protozoa were in renal tubule cells, endothelial cells and brain.

Diagnosis of Experimental Encephalitozoonosis in Rabbits by Complement Fixation

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1977
A complement-fixation (CF) test has been developed for detection of experimental encephalitozoonosis in rabbits. The antigen consisted of disrupted homogenates of Encephalitozoon cuniculi spores grown in and released from rabbit choroid plexus tissue culture cells.

Generalized Encephalitozoonosis in a Young Kitten with Cerebellar Hypoplasia

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 2011
In recent years opportunistic infections due to microsporidial organisms have become increasingly important in immunocompromised people. Infected animals could serve as reservoirs of such infections. A case of generalized encephalitozoonosis in a young kitten is reported. Diagnosis was established by histopathological, immunohistochemical and molecular

ENCEPHALITOZOONOSIS IN THE BLUE FOX — MORPHOLOGICAL IDENTIFICATION OF THE PARASITE

Acta Pathologica Microbiologica Scandinavica Section B Microbiology, 1981
Microsporidian organisms causing great losses among young blue foxes (Alopex lagopus) were isolated and propagated in monolayer cell cultures and examined by transmission‐ and scanning electron microscopy. The parasite was found to fullfil the criteria set up for the genus Encephalitozoon and the ultrastructural findings indicated that the parasite was

Serological investigation of canine encephalitozoonosis in Norway

Parasitology Research, 2002
Encephalitozoon cuniculi, a microsporidian parasite of vertebrates, is considered a health risk to AIDS patients and other immunocompromised human beings. In most hosts, infection with the parasite runs a subclinical course. In some carnivore species, however, clinical disease affecting whole litters arises from intrauterine transmission of the ...
