Prevalence of antibodies to Encephalitozoon cuniculi in European hares (Lepus europaeus)
Original language description
Encephalitozoon cuniculi is obligate intracellular parasite infecting especially domestic rabbits, however spontaneous infections have been documented in other mammalian species all over the world. There are limited reports on encephalitozoonosis in wildlife that is why the aim of this study was to detect the prevalence of antibodies to E. cuniculi in European hares. Blood sera from 701 wild hares from the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic and Austria were examined by indirect immunofluorescence reaction (IFAT); samples with titer GREATER-THAN OR EQUAL TO 40 were marked as positive. The total seroprevalence of E. cuniculi antibodies was 1.42 % with titres in the range 40 - 640. This is the first detection of antibodies to E. cuniculi in hares showingthat hares could be exposed to E. cuniculi infection however with low rate.
