Neospora caninum is a protozoan parasite that causes abortion and important economic losses in cattle worldwide. The accurate diagnosis of neosporosis essential for management control measures. aims this study were: i) to evaluate the performance an in-house enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay based on 38kDa native antigen (p38-ELISA) diagnose bovine Argentina using well- characterized local sera panel from experimentally infected naturally exposed ii) compare diagnostic agreement three N....

Abstract Congenital toxoplasmosis in humans and other mammalian species, such as small ruminants, is a well-known cause of abortion fetal malformations. The calcium-dependent protein kinase 1 (CDPK1) inhibitor BKI-1748 has shown promising safety profile for its use good efficacy against Toxoplasma gondii infection vitro mouse models. Ten doses given every day orally sheep at 15 mg/kg did not show systemic or pregnancy-related toxicity. In experimentally infected 90 days pregnancy with 1000...

After diagnosis of endemic abortions due to neosporosis in a commercial dairy farm, routes Neospora caninum-transmission were evaluated order determine the best strategy reduce its seroprevalence and related abortions. Precolostrum blood samples collected from 52 calves their dams. Additionally, 22 female also sampled at regular 3 month intervals until 18-22 months. N. caninum specific antibodies assayed by IFAT. Serum tested dilution 1:25 for before colostrum intake heifers mating 1:100...

The aim of this study is to provide preliminary data about the occurrence Neospora caninum- and Toxoplasma gondii-related abortions perinatal deaths in sheep from Argentina. Thirty ovine aborted foetuses 33 were submitted Veterinary Diagnostic Service at INTA EEA Balcarce (Argentina) during 2017-2019. A complete necropsy was performed on all specimens submitted, foetal placental tissues examined. Foetal cavity fluids collected for assessment antibodies N. caninum T. gondii by indirect...
