TLDR
The results provide evidence that in addition to risk factors related to individual farms also risk Factors related to the farm location such as dog density in the surrounding and climate factors are important in the epidemiology of bovine neosporosis.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology and Control of Neosporosis and Neospora caninum
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.

Diagnosis of bovine neosporosis
Jitender P. Dubey,Gereon Schares +1 more
TL;DR: Although not a routine method of diagnosis, methods to isolate viable N. caninum from bovine tissues are reviewed, including histologic, serologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular methods for dignosis of bovines neosporosis.

TL;DR: Faecal samples of 24,089 dogs were examined coproscopically in two veterinary laboratories in Germany between March 2001 and October 2004 and it may be possible to develop criteria for a preliminary identification of N. caninum in dog faeces based on the oocyst morphology.

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.

Dogs are definitive hosts of Neospora caninum.
Milton M. McAllister,Jitender P. Dubey,David S. Lindsay,Jolley Wr,Rebecca A Wills,McGuire Am +5 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Confirmation that the dog is a definitive host for Neospora caninum.
TL;DR: In this article, two mixed-breed littermate dogs were fed mouse brains containing tissue cysts of the NC-beef isolate of Neospora caninum and both dogs excreted oocysts in their feces.
Rapid communication Confirmation that the dog is a definitive host for Neospora caninum
TL;DR: Two mixed-breed littermate dogs were fed mouse brains containing tissue cysts of the NC-beef isolate of Neospora caninum and the identity of the oocysts excreted in the feces of the dogs was confirmed by mouse inoculation studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
The efficiency of vertical transmission of Neospora caninum in dairy cattle analysed by serological techniques
TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that the N. caninum-infection can be maintained over several generations at a nearly constant prevalence level, apparently without a need for dispersion by an definitive host.
