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.

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
