Neospora caninum in bovine fetuses of Minas Gerais, Brazil: genetic characteristics of rDNA

Abstract: Neosporosis is an important cause of abortion in cattle and information on their genetics and host parasite relationships are desirable. Neospora caninum samples obtained from 24 bovine fetuses from Minas Gerais, were genetically analyzed in part of the rDNA region, coding for rRNAs. Previously, brain, heart, liver, skeletal muscle, lung, kidney, spleen, thymus, lymph nodes, ovary or testis, uterus and skin of the ear were analyzed by conventional histopathology and immunohistochemistry. Of these, eight had le… Show more

“…Neste estudo, destaca-se, ainda que foram observadas vacas negativas na sorologia e com fetos positivos na sorologia fetal e PCR. Santos et al (2011) analisaram amostras de tecidos de 24 fetos no estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil e detectaram que 33.3% apresentaram lesões histológicas compatíveis no encéfalo e coração e dois também no músculo esquelético e ϐígado. As amostras de cérebro apresentaram resultados na PCR semelhantes ao percentual de positivos obtido neste estudo, mesmo sendo amostras de propriedades com distúrbios reprodutivos.…”

“…DNA extracted from a normal fetus was used as a template in negative controls reactions. Seven randomly selected positive samples, plus the positive control, were also tested for another PCR targeting the internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) region of the rDNA of N. caninum as previously described (dos Santos et al, 2011) (7). After electrophoresis, PCR products were extracted from agarose gels (QIAquick Gel Extraction Kit; Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and sent to Macrogen for sequencing.…”

“…After electrophoresis, PCR products were extracted from agarose gels (QIAquick Gel Extraction Kit; Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and sent to Macrogen for sequencing. The sequencing results were edited based on a previously described method (7), and they were deposited in GenBank. The MEGA4 ® software (http://www.megasoftware.net) (25) was used to determine the degree of similarity between sequences and their phylogenetic relationships with other protozoal sequences belonging to the same subfamily (Toxoplasmatinae) deposited in GenBank, using the Neighbor-Joining method adjusted by using the nucleotide replacement parameter Kimura 2 (24).…”

“…Serological diagnosis is complicated by the false-positive results due to antigenic cross-reactivity, therefore, different PCR techniques have been used as a more sensitive and confirmatory technique to verify the diagnosis by detection of parasite-DNA in target tissues particularly of aborted fetuses (Santos et al 2011). …”
