The organism is also found as a saprophyte in the lungs of many species of animals. Animal models have been used as a source of P. carinii organisms for study of the disease. The rat model has been especially useful. Initially, the infection was latent in most colonies, and P. carinii pneumonia readily developed when animals were immunosuppressed. Today, many barrier raised rodent colonies are free of adventitious viruses, bacteria, Mycoplasma sp., and parasites, including P. carinii. Variability is now seen in the rat model. The use of cultured organisms to experimentally infect rats and mice prior to immunosuppression has met the need for some investigators, however, latent-infected, barrier-raised and isolator-raised rodents are still required. Colonies specifically infected with P. carinii can provide latent-infected animals and are better protected from potentially interfering organisms than barrier-raised animals. The development of these colonies is feasible as investigators and animal producers work together to define and develop this resource.</p>","PeriodicalId":22758,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of protozoology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12979112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two species of Encephalitozoon, E. cuniculi and E. hellem, have been diagnosed in man, the former infecting a variety of tissues, the latter restricted to the corneal and conjunctival epithelia. These species are morphologically indistinguishable even at the ultrastructural level but can be separated biochemically. Two human sera were found to react with equal intensity in the ELISA on spores of E. cuniculi and E. hellem purified from in vitro cultures, and gave similar binding patterns in Western blots on SDS-PAGE protein profiles of the two species. This has raised questions about the identity of Encephalitozoon infections diagnosed previously in man. The diagnosis of Enterocytozoon bieneusi, which infects the intestinal enterocytes of AIDS patients and is associated with chronic diarrhoea, requires observation of smears or sections of biopsies or specialist observation of stool preparations. In vitro cultures, which would facilitate the raising of specific antisera, have proved difficult to establish. In vitro and in vivo systems for assaying drugs for microsporidia have revealed that albendazole has a marked effect on parasite numbers and morphology but does not eliminate infection, which resurges when drug pressure is removed.</p>","PeriodicalId":22758,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of protozoology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12979802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In rats with experimentally-induced P. carinii pneumonia, DHFR DNA amplification demonstrated the presence of pulmonary P. carinii 2 wk prior to the onset of histopathological changes.

Finally, P. carinii DNA was detected in the serum of 7 of 18 patients (39%) with AIDS and active P. carinii pneumonia. These results suggest that circulating serum P. carinii DNA can be detected frequently in the course of pulmonary infection and may represent a blood-borne phase of infection.
