Abstract
Lesions produced by Encephalitozoon cuniculi are common in the central nervous system of laboratory rabbits, and may affect experimental results. Post-mortem examination often does disclosed that three manifested typical lesions, while the other seven did not. Of the fourteen young born to the three does in which lesions were discovered, four (29 per cent) were free from obvious evidence of the disease. Of the fifty young born to the seven lesion-free does, forty-seven (94 per cent) were also free from such lesions.
