摘要: Sera collected from 447 dairy cattle on 14 farms were tested for Neospora caninum antibodies by use of an immunofluorescent antibody technique. Positive reactions with titres > or =1:200 found in 63 (14.09%) animals. positive sera also Toxoplasma gondii using a commercial latex agglutination test. Antibodies to T. detected 3 (4.76%) N. sera. These results indicate that infection is widespread among Bahia state.
