Bilateral phacoclastic uveitis caused by lenticular infection with E ncephalitozoon cuniculi is described in a snow leopard. The diagnosis was made on histopathological and immunohistological examination of both eyes submitted after postmortem examination. There was a positive antibody titer for E . cuniculi (1:320). Polymerase chain reaction ( PCR ) and sequence analysis of formalin‐fixed, paraffin‐embedded ocular tissue detected the DNA of E . cuniculi , strain III . No other systemic lesions attributable to the E . cuniculi infection were identified.
