Wild arctic foxes (Alopex lagopus) from Greenland were tested for antibodies to Encephalitozoon cuniculi with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and a carbon immunoassay. Of 230 tested foxes none was seropositive. This finding contrasts with observations from other arctic areas and absence of rodents in the diet of these arctic foxes is the most likely explanation for absence of E. cuniculi.
采用酶联免疫吸附测定法和碳免疫测定法对来自格陵兰岛的野生北极狐（北极狐属）进行了针对兔脑炎微孢子虫抗体的检测。在230只接受检测的狐狸中，没有一只血清呈阳性。这一发现与其他北极地区的观察结果形成对比，而这些北极狐的饮食中没有啮齿动物是其不存在兔脑炎微孢子虫的最可能解释。
