Abstract:
Encephalitozoon cuniculi infection was diagnosed in a laboratory rabbit breeding colony at Muguga, Kenya. This is the first report of the disease in rabbits in Kenya. Post-mortem examination showed gross renal lesions and the presence of the parasite in histological sections of the cerebrum and cerebellum. On Gram stain, spores were observed in the kidney sections.
