This study demonstrates that oropharyngeal infection with Encephalitozoon cuniculi causes interstitial pneumonia in mice, with severity influenced by immunosuppression.

This study investigates the role of B-1 cells in CD8 T lymphocyte cytotoxicity against Encephalitozoon cuniculi in mice, finding reduced activating molecule expression in B-1 deficient mice but enhanced cytotoxicity after prior infection.

This study uses XID mice and cyclophosphamide immunosuppression to show B-1 and B-2 cells are critical for controlling Encephalitozoon cuniculi infection, with B-2 cell transfer reducing symptoms and inflammation.
