چکیده

neospora caninum is a coccidian protozoan that causes abortion in dairy and beef cattle and neurological disorders in dogs and horses. to identify n. caninum oocysts in the dog feces the molecular approaches are known as sensitive methods that specifically detect the oocysts. in present study, a polymerase chain reaction (pcr) targeting n. caninum specific nc5 genomic fragment was performed to identify the n. caninum dna in the feces of naturally infected dogs of lorestan province, west iran. fecal samples of dogs living in small dairy farms were collected. the samples were homogenized in 2.5% potassium dichromate (k2cr2o7) and stored at 4 °c. genomic dna was extracted from the feces using ctab protocol. pcr assay and dna sequencing were performed with specific primers. dna amplification of the nc5 formed a 340bp fragment for the n. caninum specimens; however, the fragment was 99% identical to the homologous sequences from neospora caninum isolates. totally, 9 positive samples of n. caninum were detected by pcr from 428 fecal specimens.

Molecular and serological detection of Neospora caninum in multiple tissues and CSF in asymptomatic infected stray dogs.

Backgrounds: Neospora caninum is an Apicomplexan parasite. It causes paralysis and neuromuscular disorders in dogs and abortion in cattle. Although contamination with N. caninum is common in stray dogs, most of the dogs are infected with subclinical neosporosis. Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the presence of N. caninum in multiple tissues and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) u...

Detection of Non-spermatozoal Cells of Neospora caninum in Fresh Semen of Naturally Infected Bulls

Background: Neospora caninum (N. caninum) is a cyst-forming coccidian parasite closely related to Toxoplasma gondii which has emerged as an important cause of reproductive failure in cattle worldwide. Routes of Neospora transmission include transplacental infection through tachyzoites, ingestion of tissues harbouring cysts and oral uptake of sporozoitecontaining oocysts. Transplacental transmis...

Prevalence of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody to Neospora caninum in dairy cattle of Hamedan province, west of Iran

Bovine neosporosis caused by the apicomplexan protozoan parasite N. caninum, was initially recognized in 1989 and is now reported as a leading infectious cause of reproductive failure in dairy cattle in world wide. The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of N. caninum infection in industrial dairy cattle of Hamedan province (west of Iran) by ELISA method. Blo...

Seroprevalence of Neospora caninum and Toxoplasma gondii infection in dogs from west and central parts of Iran using two indirect ELISA tests and assessment of associate risk factors

To determine the seroprevalence of anti-Neospora caninum and anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies indogs in Iran and to investigate related risk factors to the infection, a study was conducted in Chaharmahal vaBakhtiari, Isfahan and Khoozestan provinces, locate in west central parts of Iran. For this, 548 serum samples were collected from dogs during an 18 month period from July 2007 to February 2...

Shedding of Neospora caninum oocysts by dogs fed tissues from naturally infected water buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) from Brazil.

Attempts were made to isolate Neospora caninum from naturally infected water buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) from Brazil. Brains from six buffaloes with indirect fluorescent antibodies (>1:100) to N. caninum were used to isolate the parasite by bioassay in dogs and gerbils followed by in vitro culture. Shedding of Neospora-like oocysts was noticed in dogs fed brains from three buffaloes (isolate de...
