Journal ArticleDOI
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
Repetitive abortion in Neospora-infected ewes.
TL;DR: Serologic responses and production of infected fetuses/lambs indicated systemic neosporosis in the ewes during gestation, although tachyzoites could not be cultured from maternal tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental inoculation of domestic pigeons (Columbia livia) and zebra finches (Poephila guttata) with Neospora caninum tachyzoites
TL;DR: Tissue culture, PCR, serology, and histology were all positive for one or more pigeons, and further testing of columbiform birds as intermediate hosts of N. caninum is warranted.
Journal Article
Oral inoculation of cats with tissue cysts of Neospora caninum.
Milton M. McAllister,Jolley Wr,Rebecca A Wills,David S. Lindsay,McGuire Am,Jennifer D Tranas +5 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that cats are definitive hosts of N caninum is not supported and extermination of cats in efforts to control bovine neosporosis is not warranted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ingestion of Neospora caninum tissue cysts by Mustela species.
Milton M. McAllister,Rebecca A Wills,McGuire Am,Jolley Wr,Jennifer D Tranas,Elizabeth S. Williams,David S. Lindsay,Camilla Björkman,E. Lee Belden +8 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that Mustela spp.
