  • Title: Neospora caninum seropositivity and association with abortions in dairy cows in Mexico.
    Author: Garcia-Vazquez Z, Rosario-Cruz R, Ramos-Aragon A, Cruz-Vazquez C, Mapes-Sanchez G.
    Journal: Vet Parasitol; 2005 Nov 25; 134(1-2):61-5. PubMed ID: 16098675.
    Abstract:
    The seroprevalence of Neospora caninum infection was estimated from a sample of 813 cattle from 20 dairy herds in five regions in Mexico. The true prevalence of infection was estimated to be 42% (95% CI: 39, 46). Seropositivity was associated with abortion (odds ratio (OR)=2.0) and was higher among cows raised on-farm (41%), than among replacement cattle purchased outside the farm (28%). The ORs relating abortion to seropositivity in individual herds ranged from 1.3 to 10. Overall, 26% of the abortions were attributed to N. caninum.
