Lethal Encephalitozoon cuniculi (genotype III) infection in Steppe lemmings (Lagurus lagurus)

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Microsporidia are ubiquitous, spore-forming, intracellular parasites infecting vertebrates. Some of them are important opportunistic pathogens in humans, including three species of genus Encephalitozoon. Intraspecies genetic variation with a different range of hosts is known in E. cuniculi: genotype I (rabbit), II (mouse), III (dog). Recently, E. cuniculi is often observed in pet animals. This study described the first report of encephalitozoonosis caused by E. cuniculi genotype III in a group of arvicolid rodents Steppe lemming (Lagurus lagurus) kept as pets by a private owner. Adult lemmings showed symptoms as progressive weight lost, aggression and cannibalism. Purulent conjunctivitis and hind limb paresis were noted 24-48 hours before death. In a period of three months, whole pet breeding colony comprised of 15 animals was affected and died. Organs (heart, lungs, liver, kidney, spleen, muscle and brain) of two diseased adults were processed for histolopathological examination, whic
