Notes:
We demonstrate, based on the light, electron microscopic, and immunofluorescence studies carried out on two isolates of Encephalitozoon cuniculi established in culture, that E. cuniculi exhibits di-, tri-, tetra- and octosporous sporogony. We therefore propose that the generic characters of Encephalitozoon should be amended to include tetra-sporous sporogony as generic features. Additionally, the molecular phylogenetic analysis indicates that E. cuniculi, E. hellem, and E. (Septata) intestinalis form a cohesive group.
