Serological survey of Neospora caninum (Sarcocystidae) infection in beef cattle from Western Iran
The main purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the presence of Neospora caninum infection in beef cattle from Hamedan province, Western Iran. Blood samples were collected from 514 industrial beef cattle and tested using ELISA. IgG antibodies against N. caninum were found in 102 (19.8%) sera. Significant differences were observed between seropositive cattle and age group (p=0.022). No si...

All of the Holstein cattle were “4 years old but cross-breed cattle were from different age groups ( < 2, 2-4, 5-6 and > 6 years ol...
متن کاملSeminested PCR for Diagnosis of Neospora caninum Infection in Cattle.
Neospora caninum, an apicomplexan protozoan, is regarded as a major cause of abortion and stillbirth in cattle in countries world-wide. The ability to detection N.caninum in tissue samples can be a useful detection diagnostic tool for use in the study of the pathogenicity, immunoprophylaxis, and treatment of Neospora infection. However, molecular biology is one of the most sensitive tools for d...
متن کاملSerological study of Neospora caninum in pregnant dairy cattle in Tehran, Iran
Seven hundred and sixty-eight blood samples of pregnant cattle from four Holstein dairy herds that are farmed in the vicinity of Tehran were used to evaluate the seroprevalence of Neospora caninum infection by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Two hundred and ninety-eight of the 768 blood samples (38.8%) were positive for this infection. The prevalence of infection in the herds varied ...
متن کاملComparison of serological methods for the diagnosis of Neospora caninum infection in cattle.
The aims of this study were to evaluate the performance and agreement of various commercial and in-house Neospora caninum antibody assays used in dairy cattle in North America, and to investigate reproducibility of two assays performed in different laboratories. From 1998 to 2005, three enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs, a competitive ELISA-VMRD Inc., an indirect ELISA-Biovet Inc., and...
