Genetic Diversity of Neospora Caninum in Palestinian Cattle and Sheep: Insights From Nc-5 Gene Detection and MS10 Microsatellite Analysis. [PDF]
N. 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.

Neospora caninum and Bovine Neosporosis: Current Vaccine Research [PDF]
Neospora caninum, a tissue cyst-forming parasite, is the causative agent of bovine neosporosis. It is considered to be one of the most important transmissible causes of reproductive failure in cattle; abortion and neonatal mortality result in significant

Temporal trends in bulk milk antibodies to Salmonella, Neospora caninum, and Leptospira interrogans serovar hardjo in Irish dairy herds [PDF]
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%

NLRP3 inflammasome activation in murine macrophages caused by Neospora caninum infection
Background Neospora caninum is an intracellular parasite that causes significant economic losses in cattle industry. Understanding the host resistance mechanisms in the innate immune response to neosporosis could facilitate the exploration of approaches ...
