Experimental infection of dogs (Canis familiaris) with sporulated oocysts of Neospora caninum

Abstract: Neospora caninum is widely distributed in the world and this parasite is one of the major causes of abortion in cattle. Dogs and coyotes are definitive hosts of N. caninum and several species of domestic and wild animals are intermediate hosts. Dogs can become infected by the ingestion of tissues containing cysts and then excrete oocysts. It is not yet known whether sporulated oocysts are able to induce a patent infection in dogs, i.e. a shedding of N. caninum oocysts in feces. The objective of this study was … Show more

“…Bandini et al (2011) fed 4 dogs with 1000, 5000 or 10,000 N. caninum oocysts; none of the 4 dogs shed N. caninum -like oocysts in their feces during the observation period of 30 days. However, the 2 dogs fed with 10,000 oocysts seroconverted but the 2 dogs fed with 1000 or 5000 oocysts did not.…”

“…Fecal transmission of N. caninum in dogs appears to be less important than carnivorism. Until the study by Bandini et al (2011) it was unknown if the dogs could be infected via ingestion of oocysts. They fed four dogs with 1,000, 5,000 or 10,000 N. caninum oocysts; none of the four dogs excreted N. caninum-like oocysts in their feces during the observation period of 30 days.…”

“…There are also several reports indicating increasing exposure to and infection with N caninum of buffalo with age (signifying the importance of post-natal exposure) (Campero et al, 2007;Guarino et al, 2000;Kengradomkij et al, 2015;Moore et al, 2014). Natural transmission from buffalo to dogs (Bandini et al, 2011;Rodrigues et al, 2004) appears possibly suggested by transmission experiments, and a higher seroprevalence in buffalo more closely associated with dogs has been described (Nasir et al, 2011). Clearly, more epidemiological work is required to elucidate the relative importance of post-natal and transplacental (both endogenous and exogenous) transmission.…”
