“…in donkeys was 11.8% using a competitive-ELISA (MACHACOVÁ et al, 2013) and in Colombia, 11 of the 56 examined donkeys presented antibodies against Neospora spp. measured by Dot-ELISA (BLANCO et al, 2014). Due the different methodology used in the studies, comparisons between these studies and the present study are difficult to make.…”

Sarcocystis neurona and Neospora hughesi are coccidian protozoa that can cause neurological illness in horses in America. In this study we report seroprevalence of Neospora spp. andS. neurona in sera of 333 donkeys from the northeastern region of Brazil. Antibodies to Neospora spp. were detected in 2% (7 donkeys) of 333 sera tested by the indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) with a cut-off dilution of 1:40. Antibodies to S. neurona were found in 3% (10 donkeys) of the samples tested by IFAT (cut-off ≥50) and 21% (69 donkeys) by the direct agglutination test (SAT ≥50). The SAT and IFAT results for S. neurona showed a poor concordance (value of Kappa=0.051). This is the first report ofNeospora spp. antibodies in Brazilian donkeys and the first detection of antibodies against S. neurona in this animal species.

“…and S. neurona exposure in donkeys (Equus asinus) from other countries is scarce (MACHACOVÁ et al, 2013;BLANCO et al, 2014). Donkeys are used traditionally for working roles, however in some parts of the world they are increasingly being used for milk production.…”

“…In another study in Brazil, researchers found antibodies to Neospora in 2 of 500 donkeys studied using IFAT (cut-off 1:100) [ 6 ]. Antibodies to Neospora were also reported in 11 (19.7%) of 56 donkeys from Colombia by using Dot-ELISA [ 2 ], in 52 (52%) of 100 donkeys from Iran by the Neospora agglutination test (NAT, cut-off 1:80) [ 8 ], and 28 (11.8%) of 238 donkeys from Italy by using competitive inhibition ELISA [ 12 ]. Again, comparison of seroprevalences among the studies should be interpreted cautiously because of different laboratory methods used to detect anti- Neospora antibodies.…”

Seroepidemiology ofSarcocystis neuronaandNeospora hughesiinfections in domestic donkeys (Equus asinus) in Durango, Mexico

There is currently no information regarding Sarcocystis neurona and Neospora hughesi infections in donkeys in Mexico. Here, we determined the presence of antibodies against S. neurona and N. hughesi in donkeys in the northern Mexican state of Durango. Serum samples of 239 domestic donkeys (Equus asinus) were assayed for S. neurona and N. hughesi antibodies using home-made enzyme-linked immunoassays; six (2.5%) of the 239 donkeys tested seropositive for S. neurona. The seroprevalence of S. neurona infection was comparable among donkeys regardless of their origin, health status, or sex. Multivariate analysis showed that seropositivity to S. neurona was associated with increased age (OR = 2.95; 95% CI: 1.11–7.82; p = 0.02). Antibodies to N. hughesi were found in two (0.8%) of the 239 donkeys. Both exposed donkeys were healthy, 3- and 6-year-old females. This is the first evidence of S. neurona and N. hughesi infections in donkeys in Mexico.

“…Equine emerging tick-borne neurological diseases has been reported in donkeys (because tick bites are highly prevalent in this species due to their common extensive management). Neosporosis has been described all over the world, from Europe [92] to South America [93,94]. Lyme disease (Borrelia spp.)…”

a b s t r a c tCardiovascular diseases are scarcely reported in donkeys, probably linked to their limited athletic attitude and low frequency of poor performance-related examinations. Reports on treatments for cardiovascular pathologies are anecdotal in donkeys. Respiratory tract anatomy shows important differences between horses and donkeys. Donkeys and mules can act as reservoirs spreading many viral, bacterial, and parasitic infectious respiratory diseases. Mosquito and tick-borne encephalitis have been reported in these species in the later years, and even donkeys are being used as sentinels in some areas to detect these emerging diseases. Management and treatment of lithiases can be transferable from horses; however, the same assumption must still be demonstrated for acute and chronic renal diseases. Ocular pathologies are similar to horses, with corneal ulcers frequently observed. Lameness is a common problem in donkeys, with laminitis as the most reported cause followed by pedal abscess.
