Six cats (Nos. 1-6) were inoculated intramuscularly with (1 × 106) and orally (5 × 105) tachyzoites of Neospora caninum. Three (Nos. 1-3) of the six cats were given 40 mg/kg methylprednisolone acetate 7 days before and on the day of inoculation with N. caninum tachyzoites, and three cats (Nos. 4-6) were not given methylprednisolone acetate.

Pathological and Molecular Studies of Neospora caninum Infection in Aborted Bovine Foetuses in Khorasan Razavi Province, Iran. [PDF]
Aborted bovine foetuses were collected from dairy cattle in Khorasan Razavi province. Brain samples of aborted foetuses were tested to detect N.caninum infection using nested PCR and histopathological examination. In addition, blood samples were collected from dairy cattle that had aborted PCR‐positive foetuses and were analysed using ELISA .
