Dragon 1 had marked hemopericardium with restrictive epicarditis. The inner aspect of the distended pericardial sac was lined by a fibrinoheterophilic membrane. In addition, granulomas abutted the testes. Dragon 2 had acute hemopericardium and granulomatous arteritis of the great vessels exiting the heart. Histologically, both animals had granulomatous arteritis of the large arteries with intrahistiocytic gram-positive, slightly elongated, up to 2\u2009\u03bcm long microorganisms that contained a vacuole. These microorganisms were also present in the paratesticular granulomas. On transmission electron microscopy, the microorganisms were identified as microsporidians given the presence of exospore, endospore, vacuole, nucleus, and a filament with 4\u20136 coils. The microsporidia were identified as Encephalitozoon pogonae based on sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer 1 of the ribosomal RNA genes. Microsporidia are agents of disease in bearded dragons. Intrapericardial arteritis of large arteries with hemopericardium or restrictive epicarditis is a fatal manifestation of this infection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1040638719834330","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,23]],"date-time":"2019-02-23T01:57:44Z","timestamp":1550887064000},"page":"467-470","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Intrapericardial\n                    <i>Encephalitozoon pogonae<\/i>\n                    \u2013associated arteritis with fatal hemopericardium in two juvenile central bearded dragons"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Arno","family":"W\u00fcnschmann","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Population Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Minnesota, St. Paul, MN (W\u00fcnschmann, Armi\u00e9n, Giannitti)"},{"name":"Department of Comparative, Diagnostic, and Population Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL (Childress, Wellehan)"},{"name":"Instituto Nacional de Investigaci\u00f3n Agropecuaria (INIA)"},{"name":"Plataforma de Investigaci\u00f3n en Salud Animal, La Estanzuela, Colonia, Uruguay (Giannitti)"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"An\u00edbal G.","family":"Armi\u00e9n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Population Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Minnesota, St. Paul, MN (W\u00fcnschmann, Armi\u00e9n, Giannitti)"},{"name":"Department of Comparative, Diagnostic, and Population Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL (Childress, Wellehan)"},{"name":"Instituto Nacional de Investigaci\u00f3n Agropecuaria (INIA)"},{"name":"Plataforma de Investigaci\u00f3n en Salud Animal, La Estanzuela, Colonia, Uruguay (Giannitti)"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"April L.","family":"Childress","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Population Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Minnesota, St. Paul, MN (W\u00fcnschmann, Armi\u00e9n, Giannitti)"},{"name":"Department of Comparative, Diagnostic, and Population Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL (Childress, Wellehan)"},{"name":"Instituto Nacional de Investigaci\u00f3n Agropecuaria (INIA)"},{"name":"Plataforma de Investigaci\u00f3n en Salud Animal, La Estanzuela, Colonia, Uruguay (Giannitti)"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James F.
