    Abstract:
    A total of 810 dairy cattle were blood sampled and used to evaluate serological screening for Neospora caninum infection in dairy cattle herds in Mashhad (Khorasan province, Iran). In 4 herds, of the 810 cattle, 123 (15.18%) were seropositive by IFA Test (VMRD Inc., Pullman, WA 99163, USA) with titer 1:200 and range of prevalence per herd from 9.92 to 19.60%. Seroprevalence was not significantly different between Holstein breed (14.88%) and Brown Swiss breed (19.60%). Comparison of N. caninum serological status with age groups (< or =2 years, 2-4 years, > or =4 years) showed no significant difference. Of the 139 aborted cattle sampled, 19.42% were seropositive for N. caninum.
