Neospora caninum is a coccidian parasite that was identified as a species in 1988. Prior to this, it was misclassified as Toxoplasma gondii due to structural similarities. [ 1 ] The genome sequence of Neospora caninum has been determined by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and the University of Liverpool . [ 2 ]
Neospora caninum is a major pathogen of cattle and dogs that occasionally causes clinical infections in horses, goats, sheep, and deer as well. The domestic dog is the only known definitive host for N. caninum .
In Gabon, both hookworms were detectable in 35% of domestic dogs. [15] In Canada, A. caninum was detected in only 1.3% of domestic dogs, [9] but in the northeastern U.S. it was detected in 12%. [10] In fact, in a Brazilian study (37.8% of domestic dogs) [12] and a Thai study (58.1% of domestic dogs) [13] A. caninum was the
Neosporosis* is caused by Neospora caninum [30] Protothecosis in dogs is caused by a mutant form of green algae and is usually disseminated. Symptoms include weight loss, uveitis, retinal detachment, and anal seepage. [6]
The first pathogenic Neospora species was first reported to cause paralysis in dogs in 1988, and had therefore been termed Neospora caninum. [1] Successive neonatal and fetal infections caused by Neospora-like protozoa had later been discovered in deer, goats, cattle, and horses. [6]
Jitender P. Dubey (born July 15, 1938) is a veterinary parasitologist and microbiologist who pioneered the control and diagnosis of Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii), Neospora caninum, and Sarcocystis neurona. [1] Dubey discovered the life cycle of Toxoplasma gondii, and discovered and named both Neospora caninum and Sarcocystis neurona. [2]
Neospora; Nephroisospora; Sarcocystis; Toxoplasma; The Sarcocystidae are a family of Apicomplexa associated with a variety of diseases in humans and other animals ...
Some wolves carry Neospora caninum, which can be spread to cattle and is correlated with bovine miscarriages. [6] Among flukes, the most common in North American wolves is Alaria, which infects small rodents and amphibians which are eaten by wolves. Upon reaching maturity, Alaria migrates to the wolf's intestine, but does little harm.
