Abstract

Serum samples from 97 clinically healthy domestic rabbits were tested for antibodies to Encephalitozoon cuniculi by an indirect elisa technique. Fifty (52 per cent) of them were seropositive. The samples were taken as part of a routine health screen or before general anaesthesia at 22 veterinary practices in England, Scotland and Wales, and the veterinary surgeons were asked to complete a questionnaire to provide information concerning the animal's husbandry, diet, vaccination, health status and any preventive medicine routines. None of these factors was found to be associated with the serological status of the rabbits.

摘要

采用间接酶联免疫吸附测定技术，对97只临床健康的家兔血清样本进行了兔脑炎微孢子虫抗体检测。其中50只（52%）呈血清学阳性。这些样本是在英格兰、苏格兰和威尔士的22家兽医诊所进行常规健康筛查时或全身麻醉前采集的，兽医被要求填写一份问卷，以提供有关动物饲养、饮食、疫苗接种、健康状况和任何预防用药程序的信息。未发现这些因素与家兔的血清学状态有关。
