Doenças parasitárias reprodutivas em bovinos - neosporose

Resumo

The bovine neosporosis is an infectious disease of global expression, of parasitic origin, caused by the protozoan Neospora caninum, which generates great economic impact to cause abortion in beef cattle and milk in several countries. Despite the high prevalence of antibodies in animals, the frequency of clinical neosporosis has been poorly recorded. For effective control of the disease, we must collect and remove aborted fetuses, fetal membranes, placenta and dead calves, avoiding the ingestion by dogs of contaminated material. This review aims to highlight important aspects of bovine neosporosis, including etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, symptoms, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment and control.
