Abstract:Neosporosis is a parasitic disease that causes reproductive disorders in animals, making it a barrier to maximum efficiency. The purpose of this study was to determine the seroprevalence ofNeosporacaninum(N.caninum) antibodies in water buffaloes from four governorates in northern Egypt. A commercial indirect-ELISA test was used to detect antibodies againstN.caninumin the serum of 450 water buffaloes. The total seroprevalence ofN.caninumin water buffaloes from Egypt was 31.3%, and the highest prevalence was obs… Show more
