Summary Encephalitozoon intestinalis and Encephalitozoon hellem were diagnosed in the kidneys of a free – ranging European brown hare ( Lepus europaeus ) with multifocal wedge‐shaped chronic interstitial nephritis using real‐time PCR and microarray. This is the first description of these microsporidia species in a European brown hare, which are both potential zoonotic agents.
