Neospora caninum (Apicomplexa) in a stillborn goat
J Parasitol.
1992 Jun.
Abstract
Tissue cysts of Neospora caninum were found in sections of brain from a stillborn pygmy goat. The tissue cysts had 1-2-microns-thick cyst walls and stained with anti-N. caninum serum in an immunohistochemical test. Glial nodules, mononuclear perivascular cuffing, and foci of inflammation were associated with N. caninum tissue cysts throughout the brain. This report indicates that N. caninum can be transmitted transplacentally in goats.
