Serological evidence for Encephalitozoon cuniculi infection (nosemiasis) in gnotobiotic guineapigs

Encephalitozoon cuniculi infection (nosemiasis) was serologically diagnosed in hysterectomy-derived gnotobiotically reared guineapigs. The probability of vertical transplacental transmission is discussed.
