First cross-sectional serological survey on Besnoitia besnoiti in cattle in Italy

A cross-sectional serological survey was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of besnoitiosis in cattle farms located in a region of southern Italy. A geographical information system (GIS) was used in order to uniformly sample the bovine farms (n = 88) throughout the entire region. Blood samples were collected from 528 autochthonous cattle and sera were tested for antibodies to Besnoitia besnoiti using an enzym...

Prevalence and correlates of antibodies to Neospora caninum in dogs in Portugal
