Genetic Diversity of Neospora Caninum in Palestinian Cattle and Sheep: Insights From Nc-5 Gene Detection and MS10 Microsatellite Analysis. [PDF]
Vet Med SciN. caninum DNA was detected in 24.2% of sampled cattle and sheep brains, with a higher prevalence in cattle (25.5%) than sheep (16.7%). Palestinian isolates formed one cluster, with the ACT allele predominating (76%). Phylogenetic analysis revealed low genetic diversity in N. caninum globally.

Temporal trends in bulk milk antibodies to Salmonella, Neospora caninum, and Leptospira interrogans serovar hardjo in Irish dairy herds [PDF]
, 2012 peer-reviewedBulk milk samples were collected from 309 Irish dairy herds at four time points during 2009 and tested for antibodies to Salmonella spp., N. caninum, and L. hardjo, three abortifacient agents in Irish dairy herds. Of the 312 study herds, 49%

Neosporosis: An Overview of Its Molecular Epidemiology and Pathogenesis
Engineering, 2020 Neospora caninum (N. caninum), a cyst-forming protozoan parasite, is a major cause of bovine abortions and neonatal mortality worldwide. N. caninum has a broad intermediate host range, and its sexual cycle occurs exclusively in canids. Another species of

Detection of high levels of congenital transmission of toxoplasma gondii in natural urban populations of mus domesticus [PDF]
, 2004 The relative importance of different transmission routes of Toxoplasma gondii has been a matter for debate. This ubiquitous parasite is generally thought to be transmitted by infective oocysts excreted by the definitive host, the cat.
