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.

Canine and Bovine Neospora caninum Control Sera Examined for Cross-Reactivity Using Neospora caninum and Neospora hughesi Indirect Fluorescent Antibody Tests [PDF]
Journal of Parasitology, 2009 Neospora caninum is a well known protozoan parasite of domestic and wild animals. Neospora hughesi is a closely related protozoan with an unknown life cycle, host range, and infection prevalence. Many serologic surveys of N. caninum have been performed without consideration of potential cross-reactions with N. hughesi, which could confound results. The

Verificação da transmissão vertical de Neospora spp. em equinos
Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira, 2015 O gênero protozoário Neospora é reconhecido como causador de desordens reprodutivas e abortos em bovinos. Entre os equinos pouco se sabe sobre os efeitos da infecção por estes protozoários.

High levels of congenital transmission of toxoplasma gondii in longitudinal and cross-sectional studies on sheep farms provides evidence of vertical transmission in ovine hosts [PDF]
, 2005 Recent research suggests that vertical transmission may play an important role in sustaining Toxoplasma gondii infection in some species. We report here that congenital transmission occurs at consistently high levels in pedigree Charollais and outbred ...

A large-scale proteogenomics study of apicomplexan pathogens-Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum [PDF]
, 2015 Proteomics data can supplement genome annotation efforts, for example being used to confirm gene models or correct gene annotation errors. Here, we present a large‐scale proteogenomics study of two important apicomplexan pathogens: Toxoplasma gondii and ...
