Serological survey of Neospora caninum and Toxoplasma gondii in cattle ( Bos indicus ) and water buffaloes ( Bubalus bubalis ) in ten provinces of Brazil

Highlights • The frequency of positive results for N. caninum for cattle and water buffalo was 55% and 44% in Pará state, Brazil. • The frequency of positive results for T. gondii for cattle and water buffalo was 52% and 39% in Pará state, Brazil. • Buffaloes did not have a higher prevalence of T. g...

Description
Summary:Highlights • The frequency of positive results for N. caninum for cattle and water buffalo was 55% and 44% in Pará state, Brazil. • The frequency of positive results for T. gondii for cattle and water buffalo was 52% and 39% in Pará state, Brazil. • Buffaloes did not have a higher prevalence of T. gondii or N. caninum in all provinces studied. • Cattle showing a greater chance of being seropositive when exposed to the same risks for T. gondii and N. caninum infection.
