Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the presence of antibodies against Neospora caninum, Toxoplasma gondii, and Brucella melitensis in sheep and goats in central Argentina, which can lead to abortion and include zoonotic pathogens.
- Out of 4,783 goats and 1,524 sheep tested, the seroprevalence for T. gondii was 41.2% in sheep and 29.7% in goats, while N. caninum had 17.2% in sheep and 14% in goats, with no positive cases for B. melitensis.
- Significant spatial clustering for T. gondii positivity was found, particularly along the Parana River, with animals from certain provinces at
Neospora caninum is a protozoan parasite that causes abortion and reproductive failure in small ruminants. We validated and evaluated under field conditions a competitive inhibition ELISA based on the truncated SAG1 protein (tSAG1) from N. caninum for the detection of anti-N.
