Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis due to Neospora hughesi and equine motor neuron disease in a mule
Veterinary Ophthalmology, 2010A 23-year-old female mule was presented for bilateral ocular abnormalities and an abnormal pelvic limb gait.Anisocoria, unilateral enophthalmos, medial strabismus, ptosis, pupillary light reflex deficits, and bilateral reticulated pigmentary retinopathy were observed on ophthalmic examination.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the likelihood of transplacental transmission of Neospora hughesi and Sarcocystis neurona in foals, born from seropositive mares. Three broodmares with persistent N. hughesi infection gave birth to eight healthy foals over a period of 7 years. These foals were seropositive to N. hughesi prior to colostrum

Veterinary Parasitology, 2001
Parasite-specific antibody responses to Neospora antigens were detected using the immunofluorescent antibody test (IFAT) and immunoblot analysis in select equine populations. For comparison, a naturally infected Neospora hughesi horse and an experimentally inoculated Neospora caninum horse were used.

Neospora hughesi is a recently identified cause of equine protozoal myeloencephalitis. However, the significance of this parasite is poorly understood. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with a recombinant form of the N. hughesi 29-kDa surface antigen (rNhSAG1) was developed for serodiagnosis of equine N. hughesi infections.

Abstract OBJECTIVE To describe the general seroprevalence of anti-Sarcocystis neurona and anti-Neospora hughesi antibodies among healthy equids by use of indirect fluorescent antibody tests and determine potential risk factors for seropositivity. DESIGN Cross-sectional study.

Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports
The seroprevalence and risk factors for exposure to Neospora caninum and Neospora hughesi in broodmares in Ontario were investigated. Sixty of the 219 (27.4%) study broodmares were seropositive for N. caninum and 65/219 (29.7%) for N. hughesi with cut-offs of ≥1:40 and ≥1:160, respectively.

Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis is a commonly diagnosed neurological disease of horses in North America and is caused by infection with Sarcocystis neurona or Neospora hughesi. The aim of this study was to compare prevalence factors among horses seropositive or seronegative to N. hughesi and/or S. neurona.

The aim of this study was to compare two serologic tests used to support a diagnosis of equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM). Serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples were analyzed for antibodies to Sarcocystis neurona and Neospora hughesi by indirect fluorescent antibody testing (IFAT) and surface antigens of S. neurona and N. hughesi by enzyme-

Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis caused by Neospora hughesi in an adult horse in Saskatchewan.
The Canadian veterinary journal = La revue veterinaire canadienne, 2010A protozoal parasite identified as Neospora hughesi was found in inflammatory lesions in the central nervous system of a Canadian-born adult horse presented with neurological signs. This is believed to be the first case of equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) caused by Neospora hughesi in a horse outside of the United States.
