Serological evaluation of Neospora caninum in pregnant women treated at referra...
Duarte,Pâmella Oliveira; Csordas,Bárbara Guimarães; Oshiro,Leandra Marla; Higa,Leandro de Oliveira Souza; Zimmermann,Namor PinheiroAbstract Neospora caninum is an obligate intracellular protozoan with canids (Canis domesticus, Canis lupus dingo, Canis latrans, Canis lupus) as its definitive hosts. The objective of this study was to detect anti-N. caninum antibodies in pregnant women seen at referral center for prenatal screening in the state of state Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. A total of 188 serum samples from pregnant women provided by t...
Neospora caninum and Toxoplasma gondii serodiagnosis in human immunodeficiency ...
Oshiro,Leandra Marla; Motta-Castro,Ana Rita Coimbra; Freitas,Solange Zacalusni; Cunha,Rodrigo Casquero; Dittrich,Rosangela LocatelliABSTRACTINTRODUCTION:Neospora caninum and Toxoplasma gondii belong to the Sarcocystidae family, and both have one definitive and various intermediary hosts. Owing to their weak immune systems, immunocompromised persons might be prone to opportunistic infections. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of anti- N. caninum and anti- T. gondii antibodies in immunocompromised individuals.METHODS:This ...
Association between seropositivity for Neospora caninum and reproductive perfor...
Andreotti,Renato; Barros,Jacqueline Cavalcante; Pereira,Anselmo Ranier; Oshiro,Leandra Marla; Cunha,Rodrigo Casquero; Figueiredo Neto,Leonardo FranciscoNeospora caninum is an obligate intracellular parasite that can infect domestic and wild canids, ruminants, and horses. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between the presence of antibodies to N. caninum and reproductive loss in beef heifers in the South Pantanal region of Mato Grosso, Brazil. A total of 1098 heifers were evaluated from breeding to calving with regard to reproductive perf...
Comparison of indirect ELISA based on recombinant protein NcSRS2 and IFAT for d...
Andreotti,Renato; Matos,Maria de Fátima Cepa; Gonçalves,Kelly Noda; Oshiro,Leandra Marla; Lima-Junior,Manoel Sebastião da Costa; Paiva,FernandoNeospora caninum, an Apicomplexan parasite that can causes abortion, is responsible for considerable economic and reproductive losses in livestock. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether recombinant NcSRS2 is a suitable indirect ELISA antigen for determining specific immune response to N. caninum in sheep. A total of 441 serum samples were subjected to IFAT and rNcSRS2 based-ELISA, with both ...
