Microsporidiosis is reported rarely in reptiles and has never been reported in any species of crocodilian. Microsporidiosis was diagnosed histologically in a juvenile captive freshwater crocodile (Crocodylus johnstoni) that was found suddenly dead in its enclosure. Ultrastructural and molecular testing revealed infection to be due to Encephalitozoon hellem. This is the first report of E. hellem infection in any species of reptile.
微孢子虫病在爬行动物中鲜有报道，在任何鳄目动物中均未被报道过。一只人工饲养的淡水鳄幼鳄（强森鳄）被发现突然死于其围栏内，经组织学诊断患有微孢子虫病。超微结构和分子检测显示感染是由海伦脑炎微孢子虫引起的。这是海伦脑炎微孢子虫在任何爬行动物物种中的首次感染报告。
