  • Title: The incidence of Encephalitozoon cuniculi in a commercial barrier-maintained rabbit breeding colony.
    Author: Greenstein G, Drozdowicz CK, Garcia FG, Lewis LL.
    Journal: Lab Anim; 1991 Oct; 25(4):287-90. PubMed ID: 1753686.
    Abstract:
    Between 1982 and 1987 sera from 4952 New Zealand White rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) obtained from a single commercial supplier were tested for the presence of antibodies to Encephalitozoon cuniculi. A commercially available carbon immunoassay test kit was used. Initially 32.9% of the rabbits were seropositive with the number progressively decreasing to 2.3% by 1987. The reason for the significant decline in the incidence of infection was most likely due to a selection process for breeding stock instituted by the supplier based upon productivity, posture and weight of each animal.
