TL;DR: This review is focused mainly on the epidemiology and control of neosporosis in cattle, but worldwide seroprevalences of N. caninum in animals and humans are tabulated.

TL;DR: The impact of cryptosporidial infections in livestock and poultry is reviewed and Cryptosporidium parvum is considered to be an important agent in the aetiology of the neonatal diarrhoea syndrome of calves, lambs and goat kids, causing considerable direct and indirect economic losses.

TL;DR: This review aims to summarize actual knowledge on the prevalence and effects of infections with T. gondii in the most important livestock species and on the effects of toxoplasmosis on livestock and provides an overview on potential risk factors favoring infections of livestock with T.

TL;DR: The development of a real-time PCR assay for the quantitative detection of Neospora caninum in infected host tissues that uses the double-stranded DNA-binding dye SYBR Green I to continuously monitor product formation represents a useful quantitative diagnostic tool to be used in the study of the pathogenicity, immunoprophylaxis, and treatment ofNeospora infection.

TL;DR: The results of this supranational comparative study showed that the importance of N. caninum infection varied greatly within in Europe and was significantly associated with herdtype (beef versus dairy), age, breed and region within countries.
