- Encephalitozoon cuniculi is a microsporidial, unicellular, spore-forming parasite that must live inside host cells. It can invade various parts of the host’s body, including the central nervous system, kidneys, and other tissues. In rabbits, E. cuniculi can cause significant damage to the brain, nervous system, kidneys, and other vital organs.
