Neospora 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 کاملSerological response over time to recombinant Neospora caninum antigens in cattle after a neosporosis-induced abortion.
Recombinant Neospora caninum tachyzoite antigens were evaluated in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for recognition by serum antibodies (Ab) from Neospora-infected cattle. Serum samples were obtained every 2 to 3 weeks for 8 to 15 months from 10 cows with histories of Neospora-associated abortion. Serum samples were also obtained from offspring of these animals and from a large numb...
متن کاملEpidemiology and control of neosporosis and Neospora caninum.
Neospora caninum is a protozoan parasite of animals. Until 1988, it was misidentified as Toxoplasma gondii. Since its first recognition in dogs in 1984 and the description of the new genus and species Neospora caninum in 1988, neosporosis has emerged as a serious disease of cattle and dogs worldwide. Abortions and neonatal mortality are a major problem in livestock operations, and neosporosis i...
متن کاملReview of Neospora caninum and neosporosis in animals.
Neospora caninum is a coccidian parasite of animals. It is a major pathogen for cattle and dogs and it occasionally causes clinical infections in horses, goats, sheep, and deer. Domestic dogs are the only known definitive hosts for N. caninum. It is one of the most efficiently transmitted parasite of cattle and up to 90% of cattle in some herds are infected. Transplacental transmission is consi...
متن کاملSerological study of Neospora caninum infection in cattle from Ahvaz area, Iran
Abstract: In order to investigate the seroprevalence of Neospora caninum infection in cattle in Southwestern Iran, blood samples were collected from Holstein (121 animals) and cross-breed (436 animals) cattle from three farms and seven areas of Ahvaz, respectively. 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...
