Abstract

Microsporida similar morphologically to Encephalitozoon cuniculi were found in granulomatous foci in the brain of 5 of 29 wild-caught muskrats (Ondatra zibethica) held in captivity for various periods of time, but not in any of 36 free-living muskrats examined. The significance and possible source of this infection are discussed.
