    Author: Scurrell EJ, Holding E, Hopper J, Denk D, Fuchs-Baumgartinger A, Silbermayr K, Nell B.
    Journal: Vet Ophthalmol; 2015 Jan; 18 Suppl 1():143-7. PubMed ID: 25311355.
    Abstract:
    Bilateral phacoclastic uveitis caused by lenticular infection with Encephalitozoon cuniculi is described in a snow leopard. The diagnosis was made on histopathological and immunohistological examination of both eyes submitted after postmortem examination. There was a positive antibody titer for E. cuniculi (1:320). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequence analysis of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded ocular tissue detected the DNA of E. cuniculi, strain III. No other systemic lesions attributable to the E. cuniculi infection were identified.
