Neosporosis is a very important parasitic disease of animals, affecting the cattle industries and dog breeders worldwide. The global economic losses are estimated in billions from fetal death in cattle. The parasite has a wide host range, and it causes neurological disorders. There is no vaccine to prevent this infection. Neosporosis can be used as a model for other diseases that are transmitted from the mother to their fetuses. Knowledge of the biology of this parasite, the genome and gene functions of Neospora, the epidemiology and different aspects of immunology, and its diagnosis and…mehr

Neosporosis is a very important parasitic disease of animals, affecting the cattle industries and dog breeders worldwide. The global economic losses are estimated in billions from fetal death in cattle. The parasite has a wide host range, and it causes neurological disorders. There is no vaccine to prevent this infection. Neosporosis can be used as a model for other diseases that are transmitted from the mother to their fetuses. Knowledge of the biology of this parasite, the genome and gene functions of Neospora, the epidemiology and different aspects of immunology, and its diagnosis and control have grown dramatically. Neosporosis in Animals covers all these different aspects.
