A retrospective pathological study of 118 rabbits presenting with neurological disease was conducted. Diagnoses were categorized on the basis of aetiopathogenesis as inflammatory, vascular, traumatic, metabolic-toxic, neoplastic, degenerative or idiopathic. Central nervous system (CNS) lesions were present in 85 (72.0%) of the rabbits and in most of these cases (70.3%) a causative agent was identified. The majority of animals (n=78, 66.1%) had disease of an inflammatory nature and 71 of these 78 rabbits had one of two zoonotic infectious diseases: encephalitozoonosis (n=69, 58.5%) and herpes simplex virus (HSV) encephalitis (n=2). Infections with zoonotic potential are therefore a major cause of CNS disease in the rabbit.
对118只出现神经疾病的兔子进行了回顾性病理研究。根据病因发病机制将诊断分为炎症性、血管性、创伤性、代谢毒性、肿瘤性、退行性或特发性。85只（72.0%）兔子存在中枢神经系统（CNS）病变，并且在大多数这些病例（70.3%）中确定了病原体。大多数动物（n=78，66.1%）患有炎症性疾病，这78只兔子中有71只患有两种人畜共患传染病之一：脑原虫病（n=69，58.5%）和单纯疱疹病毒（HSV）脑炎（n=2）。因此，具有人畜共患潜力的感染是兔子中枢神经系统疾病的主要原因。
