In vitro cellular responses to Neospora caninum glycosylphosphatidylinositols depend on the host origin of antigen presenting cells.

Neosporosis due to Neospora caninum causes abortions in farm animals such as cattle. No treatment and vaccine exist to fight this disease, responsible for considerable economic losses. It is thus important to better understand the immune responses occurring during the pathogenesis to control them in a global strategy against the parasite.
