<p>Microsporidia are spore-forming obligate intracellular parasites. They are known to cause opportunistic infections in humans through zoonotic, waterborne and foodborne transmission routes. This article reviews the present knowledge regarding microsporidian Encephalitozoon cuniculi infections in animals living in the human environment in Japan and discusses the basic measures required for the effective disinfection of Encephalitozoon. The article also discusses seroepidemiologic data from healthy people in order to shed light on the mechanisms of protective immunity and to identify potential strategies for preventive medicine.<tt> </tt></p>
