Discussion highlights clinical signs and management strategies for encephalitozoonosis by veterinary nurses.
Encephalitozoonosis is a significant microsporidial disease, often presenting in pet rabbits. This opportunistic parasite can spread to humans and many other animal species. With rabbit pet ownership becoming increasingly common, veterinary nurses (VNs) should aim to educate owners on the husbandry, welfare and preventative care their pet rabbit needs. The aim of this article is to discuss the life cycle of the parasite, the clinical signs of encephalitozoonosis and how VNs can aid encephalitozoonosis cases, from diagnosis through to long-term management.
