Abstract
A seroepidemiology study of Neospora caninum was conducted inMashhad area, Khorasan province, Iran on 337 cattle from 30 dairy using ELISA. All herds had seropositive cattle and antibodies were formed in 46% of the cattle. Abortion was significantly associated with seropositivity of cattle. The highest risk of abortion was observed in the 1–2-year-old cows. Our results indicate that Neospora infection is widespread in Iran. # 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
