Tachyzoites of Neospora caninum were found in sections of lung of an equine fetus aborted 2 mo before term. Individual tachyzoites were approximately 3-5 x 2-3 microns, divided by endodyogeny, and stained positively with anti-N. caninum serum but not with anti-Toxoplasma gondii serum. Toxoplasma gondii antibody was not found in the mare's serum. This is the first report of N. caninum in a horse and indicates that N. caninum can be transmitted transplacentally in equids.read more

A review of Neospora caninum and neosporosis
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.

Review of Neospora caninum and neosporosis in animals.
TL;DR: Information on biology, diagnosis, epidemiology and control of neosporosis in animals, a major cause of abortion in cattle in many countries, is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent advances in Neospora and neosporosis.
TL;DR: There is no vaccine for preventing Neospora-induced abortions in cattle or to prevent oocyst shedding in dogs, so progress made in serologic diagnosis of N. caninum infection is discussed.
