TLDR
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.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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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
Rodent-borne diseases and their risks for public health
TL;DR: A large number of pathogens that are directly or indirectly transmitted by rodents are described and a simplified rodent disease model is discussed.

Neosporosis in animals--the last five years.
Jitender P. Dubey,Gereon Schares +1 more
TL;DR: This review is focused on current status of neosporosis in animals based on papers published in the last five years and strategies for control and prevention are discussed.
Rapid communication Coyotes (Canis latrans) are definitive hosts of Neospora caninum
TL;DR: In this article, four captive-raised coyote pups consumed tissues from Neospora caninum-infected calves and shed Oocysts, which tested positive for N.caninum and negative for Hammondia heydorni using PCR tests.

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.
Journal Article
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.
Journal Article
Immunohistochemical diagnosis of Neospora caninum in tissue sections
TL;DR: An avidin-biotin-peroxid enzyme complex immunoperoxidase staining method was developed to detect Neospora caninum in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections and detected tachyzoites and bradyzoites of N caninu.
Journal ArticleDOI
Duration of immunity to shedding of Toxoplasma gondii oocysts by cats
TL;DR: To investigate if this immunity persists in cats for 6 yr, 12 4-6-mo-old cats without T. gondii antibodies were inoculated orally with tissue cysts of the ME-49 strain and the TS-2 strain and 9 cats re-shed T. Gondii oocysts Seventy-seven months after primary infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neospora caninum: specific oligonucleotide primers for the detection of brain "cyst" DNA of experimentally infected nude mice by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
TL;DR: The results indicate that PCR with the primer pair Np21/Np6 could provide an efficient tool for large-scale epidemiological studies using brain tissue obtained at necropsy.
