The immunoperoxidase test diagnosis of Encephalitozoon cuniculi in rabbits.
Sera collected from both naturally and artificially infected rabbits were found to show excellent correlation when examined for the presence of Encephalitozoon cuniculi antibodies using the immunoperoxidase and immunofluorescence tests. Out of 85 randomly selected rabbits, 21 were found to be serologically positive using both the tests. However, lesions which could be attributed to E. cuniculi infection were only demonstrated in 16.
