摘要: Neospora caninum is an obligate intracellular parasite that can infect domestic and wild canids, as well ruminants equines. It was described in 1988 has been known a major cause of abortion bovines neuromuscular alterations death dogs. To estimate the prevalence bovine neosporosis 22 municipalities so-called Estrato 1 subregion Brazilian state Mato Grosso do Sul, blood samples were collected from cows aged 24 months older, December 2003 to March 2004. During sample collection, questionnaire used gather data epidemiological interest. The subjected serological diagnosis (indirect fluorescence antibody test - IFAT). Prevalences 14.9% (449/2488) 69.8% (143/205) found for animals herds sampled, respectively. variable be associated with seropositivity N. (OR 2.52; CI 1.25-5.06). results revealed presence infection by investigated, drawing attention its role potential cattle Sul.
