Approaches towards vaccine development against Neospora caninum
Neospora caninum is an apicomplexan parasite that causes neuromuscular paralysis in dogs and abortions in cattle. N. caninum is responsible for losses of several million dollars to the dairy and beef industries in several parts of the world. The key players in the host immune response to N. caninum …

Associations Among Beef Cattle Genotypes, Neospora Caninum Infection, and Reproductive Performance
… study that quantified the incidence of Neospora caninum infections in the central region of the United States and tested its relationship with reproductive performance in beef cattle. Trial one of that study concluded that 6.9% of open, replacement heifers (n = 1306) tested seropositive. …

Neospora Caninum: Oocyst Production in Dogs, Infection of Pregnant Cows With Oocysts, and Transmission Between Wild and Domestic Animals
"The protozoan Neospora caninum is a common cause of bovine abortion, and can also cause disease in dogs. Several aspects regarding its transmission were investigated. Dogs fed experimentally infected calf tissues shed significantly greater numbers of N. caninum oocysts than dogs fed experimentally …

Prevalence of antibodies to Bovine Leukemia virus, Neospora caninum and risk factors, and biosecurity practices in beef cow-calf herds in Canada.
… from 179 herds were tested for antibodies to N. caninum using a commercially available ELISA. Neospora caninum herd-level seroprevalence ranged from 25.0% to 75.9% (a herd was considered positive with ≥ 2 cows testing positive). The true cow prevalence was estimated as 5.2% (95% CI= 4.6 – 5.8). …

Development of a Canine Coccidiosis Model and the Anticoccidial Effects of a New Chemotherapeutic Agent
… were made on how ponazuril affects T. gondii and Neospora caninum. Inhibition of T. gondii tachyzoites occurred after the second round of replication and with N. caninum tachyzoites after 4 rounds of replication. Results of TEM revealed ponazuril affects replication of T. gondii and N. caninum …
