Nosematosis (Encephalitozoonosis) in a Litter of Blue Foxes After Intrauterine Injection of Nosema Spores
During recent years, nosematosis (syn. encephalitozoonosis) has caused serious losses among young blue foxes (Alopex lagopus) in Norway; the causative organism is considered to be Nosema (syn. Encephalitozoon) cuniculi. Descriptions of clinical symptoms and patho-morphological changes on which the d...
