Article Synopsis
- Neospora caninum is a major cause of abortions in cattle, and this study in Avaré, SP, Brazil, explored its impact on dairy cows over three years.
- ELISA tests revealed an increase in reactive animals from 21.6% to 38.9%, with notable changes in animal status: many switched from non-reactive to reactive.
- Half of the cows with reproductive issues had anti-Neospora antibodies, suggesting the protozoa's presence, and a link to dogs in the area may explain how the infection spreads among the cattle.
