Neospora caninum and Wildlife
Bovine neosporosis caused by Neospora caninum is among the main causes of abortion in cattle nowadays. At present there is no effective treatment or vaccine. Serological evidence in domestic, wild, and zoo animals indicates that many species have been exposed to this parasite. However, many aspects of the life cycle of N. caninum are unknown and the role of wildlife in the life cycle of N. cani...
متن کاملEstimating Neospora caninum prevalence in wildlife populations using Bayesian inference
Prevalence of disease in wildlife populations, which is necessary for developing disease models and conducting epidemiologic analyses, is often understudied. Laboratory tests used to screen for diseases in wildlife populations often are validated only for domestic animals. Consequently, the use of these tests for wildlife populations may lead to inaccurate estimates of disease prevalence. We de...
متن کاملNeospora caninum and neosporosis
Neospora caninum is a protozoan cyst forming apicomplexan parasite that causes neosporosis, notably in cattle (Bos taurus) and domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) [1,2]. It is closely related to Toxoplasma gondii and has emerged as a major cause of reproductive failure in cattle worldwide [2]. The parasite was first described in a dog with encephalomyelitis and myositis [1] and was later described...
متن کاملA review of neosporosis and pathologic findings of Neospora caninum infection in wildlife
Neospora caninum is an apicomplexan parasite that is the etiologic agent of neosporosis, a devastating infectious disease regarded as a major cause of reproductive loss in cattle and neuromuscular disease in dogs worldwide. This protozoan pathogen is maintained in the environment by a heteroxenous life cycle that involves a definitive canid host and a wide range of intermediate hosts. In recent...
متن کاملProtective efficacy of vaccination with Neospora caninum multiple recombinant antigens against experimental Neospora caninum infection.
Protective efficacy of vaccination with Neospora caninum multiple recombinant antigens against N. caninum infection was evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Two major immunodominant surface antigens (NcSAG1 and NcSRS2) and two dense granule proteins (NcDG1 and NcDG2) of N. caninum tachyzoites were expressed in E. coli, respectively. An in vitro neutralization assay using polyclonal antisera raised a...
