* Is idiopathic, but appears to be immune mediated.
** Possibly food allergy.
*** Change of diet is a potential treatment.
**** Disease is often due to something present in the diet for some time, rather than something suddenly introduced.
** Hypersensitivity to inhaled or ingested environmental allergens is another possible cause.
* Lymphocytic - plasmacytic enteritis is seen most commonly in the '''dog'''.
** Is the most common inflammatory colonic disease of dogs.
** Sometimes seen in the cat and horse.
* Affects the [[Small Intestine - Anatomy & Physiology|small intestine]], sometimes quite extensively.
** Produces chronic diarrhoea with lymphocytic or plasma cell (rather than macrophage) infiltration of the lamina propria.
** Produces a severe [[Intestines Protein-Losing Diseases - Pathology#Protein-Losing Enteropathy (PLE)|protein losing enteropathy]].
* Sometimes eosinophil infiltration is quite marked.
* Has a hereditary basis in the Basenji
