Epidemiology and Control of Neosporosis and Neospora caninum
TLDR
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.Abstract:
Neospora caninum is a protozoan parasite of animals. Until 1988, it was misidentified as Toxoplasma gondii. Since its first recognition in dogs in 1984 and the description of the new genus and species Neospora caninum in 1988, neosporosis has emerged as a serious disease of cattle and dogs worldwide. Abortions and neonatal mortality are a major problem in livestock operations, and neosporosis is a major cause of abortion in cattle. Although antibodies to N. caninum have been reported, the parasite has not been detected in human tissues. Thus, the zoonotic potential is uncertain. 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. The role of wildlife in the life cycle of N. caninum and strategies for the control of neosporosis in cattle are discussed.read more

TL;DR: Neospora caninum ar en relativt nyupptackt intracellular protozo som kan orsaka sjukdomen neosporos hos framfor allt notkreatur och hundar, men vilken roll den vilda faunan spelar i parasitens epidemiologi ar inte helt kand.

The Relationship of Abortion, Dog Management and Neospora caninum in Dairy Herds in Taiwan
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors estimate the sero-prevalence and detection of N. caninum DNA in 361 pregnant dairy cows and establish an effective strategy to prevent abortion caused by N.caninum infection in dairy farms in Taiwan by logistic regression.

TL;DR: Serum samples from 610 Korean indigenous cattle (Hanwoo) and 246 Holstein cattle from 452 farms located all over the country, Korea, were tested for N. caninum antibodies using a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit and seven of 610 (1.1%) Hanwoo and 54 of 246 (22.0%) Holenstein cattle were seropositive.

TL;DR: Dogs are a definitive host of Neospora caninum, and mice inoculated with canine faecal extracts were monitored for evidence of neosporosis using a variety of morphologic, immunohistologic, serologic, and genetic analyses.

TL;DR: Neospora caninum is a recently recognized protozoan parasite of animals, which until 1988 was misidentified as Toxoplasma gondii, and its life cycle is unknown.

Newly recognized fatal protozoan disease of dogs
TL;DR: A newly identified parasite, Neospora caninum, structurally distinct from T gondii, was found in 10 dogs and formed meronts in many tissues of the dogs, especially the brain and spinal cord.

Neonatal Neospora caninum infection in dogs: isolation of the causative agent and experimental transmission.
TL;DR: Neospora caninum infection was diagnosed in 5 young dogs from 2 litters with a common parentage that developed hind limb paresis 5 to 8 weeks after birth and was isolated in cell cultures, mice, and dogs inoculated with infected canine tissues.
