2.1. Encephalitozoon species

Spores of Encephalitozoon spp . are morphologically indistinguishable from each other. While E. cuniculi has already been described in 1923, the detection of further species of the genus Encephalitozoon was not made before the early 1990s when molecular analyses allowed identification and discrimination on the species level.
