Global Prevalence of Neospora caninum in Domestic Pigs (Sus domesticus) and Wild Boars (Sus scrofa): A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 1, January 2025.
A total of 11,124 animals from 26 eligible studies were included. The pooled seroprevalence of N. caninum in swine was 17% (95% CI: 7%–26%) with a prevalence of 17% in domestic pigs and 16% in wild boars. ABSTRACT Background Neospora caninum (Apicomplexa, Sarcocystidae) is a protozoan parasite regarded as a major cause of reproductive failure in cattle.

Neospora caninum: Structure and Fate of Multinucleated Complexes Induced by the Bumped Kinase Inhibitor BKI-1294

Pathogens, 2020
Background: Bumped kinase inhibitors (BKIs) are potential drugs for neosporosis treatment in farm animals. BKI-1294 exposure results in the formation of multinucleated complexes (MNCs), which remain viable in vitro under constant drug pressure.

Clinical findings, prognostic factors, and outcome of protein‐losing nephropathy in cats: A retrospective study

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 38, Issue 6, Page 3111-3118, November/December 2024.
Abstract Background Primary glomerular disease resulting in protein‐losing nephropathy (PLN) is an uncommon cause of chronic kidney disease in cats, yet is important to recognize because it warrants specific treatment that impacts outcome. Hypothesis/Objective Characterize clinicopathologic findings, prognostic indicators, and short‐ (≤30 days) and ...
