| description | The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of antibodies against the intracellular protozoan Encephalitozoon cuniculi in healthy pet rabbits. Encephalitozoonosis is an important differential diagnosis to ascending infection with Pasteurella multocida in the ears since a common symptom is vestibular syndrome. Samples were collected from healthy rabbits that were brought to an animal clinic in Stockholm for some kind of prophylactic procedure. The samples were analysed by an India-ink Immunoreaction test / Carbon Immunoassay. Of 106 rabbits 7 (6.6%) were seropositve. This can be compared to studies in other countries where they have found seroprevalences of 23-93%. No obvious predisposing factor such as breed, age, gender or background was identified. Comparison of the studied population to a randomly chosen population of rabbits with symptoms of encephalitozoonosis showed that the studied population had a markedly lower average age and a larger proportion of males. |

Encephalitozoonosis is an important differential diagnosis to ascending infection with Pasteurella multocida in the ears since a common symptom is vestibular syndrome. Samples were collected from healthy rabbits that were brought to an animal clinic in Stockholm for some kind of prophylactic procedure. The samples were analysed by an India-ink Immunoreaction test / Carbon Immunoassay. Of 106 rabbits 7 (6.6%) were seropositve. This can be compared to studies in other countries where they have found seroprevalences of 23-93%. No obvious predisposing factor such as breed, age, gender or background was identified. Comparison of the studied population to a randomly chosen population of rabbits with symptoms of encephalitozoonosis showed that the studied population had a markedly lower average age and a larger proportion of males. Studiens syfte var att undersöka prevalensen av antikroppar mot den intracellulära protozon Encephalitozoon cuniculi hos friska tamkaniner. Encephalitozoonos är en viktig differentialdiagnos till ascenderande Pasteurella multocida-infektion i öronen eftersom ett vanligt symptom är vestibulärt syndrom. Prover samlades från friska kaniner som kom till en djurklinik i Stockholm för någon profylaktisk åtgärd. Proverna analyserades med en s.k. tuschtest (India-ink immunoreaction test / Carbon Immunoassay). Av 106 undersökta kaniner hade 7 (6,6%) antikroppar mot E. cuniculi. Detta kan jämföras med utländska studier där man funnit seroprevalenser på 23-93%. Någon tydlig predisponerande faktor som ras, ålder, kön eller ursprung kunde inte identifieras. Vid en jämförelse mellan studiepopulationen och en slumpvis utvald grupp kaniner med misstänkt encephalitozoonos kunde man dra slutsatsen att studiepopulationen hade en betydligt lägre genomsnittlig ålder och en sned könsfördelning med tydlig överrepresentation av hanar.
