“…Despite our finding of low prevalence of N. caninum in native Korean goats, these results are worth noting because N. caninum infection in cattle has been associated with a high proportion of abortions (25.0%; 45/180) in Korea (Kim et al 2002). The seroprevalence of N. caninum in dogs in Korea has been reported at 10.3% (35/340) and specifically in rural dogs at 21.6% (11/51) (Kim et al 2003).…”

Neospora caninum is a protozoan parasite that causes abortion in ruminants, including goats. The objective of the present study was to determine the seroprevalence of N. caninum in native Korean goats (Capra hircus coreanae). A commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit was used to analyse 464 serum samples for the presence of N. caninum antibodies. Four samples (0.9%, 95% confidence intervals -CI: 0.0-1.7) were found to be positive for N. caninum antibodies. The seroprevalence was analysed according to age (less than to one year, young; more than or equal one year, adult; and unknown), sampling season (April to September, warm; October to March, cold), and region (northern, central, and southern). However, there were no statistically significant differences in seroprevalence according to age, season, and region (P > 0.05). This is the first report on the seroprevalence of N. caninum in native Korean goats. The results of this study indicate a nationwide distribution of N. caninum among goats, with a relatively low prevalence. Therefore, the implementation of integrated control strategies as well as measures for prevention and control of N. caninum infection among goats is recommended.

“…Neosporosis has been reported in many countries (Kim et al, 2002;Kim et al, 1998;Gondim et al, 2004) with different prevalence rates since the disease was recognized in 1988. The seroprevalence of antibody to N. caninum in this study is 4.84%, in dairy cattle of western dairy pocket area in Chitwan, is lower than that reported for cattle in Brazil (14.09%) (Gondim et al, 2004), Romania (34.6%) (Gvavrea et al, 2011), Pakistan (43%) (Nazir et al, 2013), Jordan (35 %) (Talafha and Al-Majali, 2013), China (15.07%) (Xu et al, 2012), India (12.61%) (Sengupta et al, 2012), Iran (10.5%) (Nematollahi et al, 2011), Sudan (10.7%) (Ibrahim et al, 2012) but resembles that reported in Australia (3.2%) (Nasir et al, 2012), Korea (4.1%) (Kim et al, 2002), Czech Republic (5.83%) (Vaclavek et al, 2003), France (5.6%) (Ould et al, 1999) and Japan (5.7%) (Koiwai et al, 2006). This difference in seroprevalence may be due to the type of test used, their cut-off points, change in geographic area, variation in sample size and other associated risk factors.…”

Dairy industry is growing in Nepal and western dairy pocket area is the main milk producing area in Chitwan district. This study was carried out to determine the seroprevalence and risk factors associated with N. caninum in western dairy pocket area in Chitwan district of Nepal. A cross-sectional study was conducted from April 2014 to July 2014 among the small holder dairy farms, and out of 2188 animals from different sampling villages, 186 (8.5%) animals were randomly selected. Individual blood samples (5-10 ml) were collected and screened for N. caninum antibodies by ELISA test kit. The study showed that apparent overall prevalence of N. caninum to be 4.84% and true prevalence, 4.07%. The prevalence varied from a low of 0% to a high of 13.16% in various VDCs. The prevalence rates among Holstein-Friesian cross and Jersey cross Cattle were 6.94% and 3.51% respectively. The seroprevalence of N. caninum was found to be 16.13% and 2.5% in animals with and without history of abortion respectively, showed statistically significant different (p value <0.05). Similarly, prevalence were 13.64% and 3.66% in animals with and without presence of dog respectively and 8.5%, 3.39% and 0% in the animals of age group of 3-5 years, 1-3 years and above 5 years respectively, showed statistically non-significant association (p value <0.05). This study shows that N. caninum is associated with abortion in dairy cattle of Chitwan region. The study may contribute the base line data of N. caninum in Nepal for future preventive strategy for stake-holders and government.

Abortion in dairy cattle may be caused by infectious and non-infectious agents. Infectious causes of abortion in dairy cattle include brucellosis, leptospirosis, listeriosis, Q fever, bovine viral diarrhea, mycotic abortion and neosporosis. Non-infectious causes of abortion in dairy cattle are genetic and non-genetic disorder. Risk factors associated with abortion in dairy cattle are genetic, environmental, management, geographical factors and infectious factors. Abortion in dairy cows brings about breeding and productive damages. Abortions cause significant economic loss to dairy farm. These losses can be attributed to loss of replacement calves, reduced milk production, costs of treatment, feeding of animals and premature culling of productive cows and heifers. Diagnosis of bovine abortion includes the collection of a complete history of the case and relevant epidemiological data and collected sample for analysis. However, determining the cause of bovine abortion is difficult as abortions are caused by numerous infectious and noninfectious factors. Status of abortion and breeds affected by abortion in Ethiopia were also reviewed.
