“…These disorders are mainly associated with infectious and parasitic diseases (Rocha et al, 2020;Dubey et al, 2017). In this context, neosporosis is an important disease that can trigger abortions and/or reproductive failures in ruminants (Arranz-Solís et al, 2015;Pereira et al, 2021).…”

“…For these and other reasons, the use of ancillary diagnostic techniques—such as molecular (e.g., PCR) or immunological tests (e.g., serology and IHC)—is required to make a definitive etiological diagnosis. Initially, IHC was used for etiological confirmation of the histological diagnosis; however, it is now primarily restricted to research to specifically locate the parasite, define its relationship with the various histological lesions, and investigate the pathogenesis of the disease [ 2 , 15 , 45 , 46 ]. In addition, common non-specific background staining in placental tissues due to technical aspects (e.g., acid hematin formation due to formalin fixation, processing of specimens, detection systems, or primary and secondary antibodies) may hamper the evaluation of some cases by this technique [ 40 ].…”

“…Although cattle are considered more susceptible to neosporosis, abortions, placental necrosis, fetal death, stillbirths, and other reproductive problems have also been reported in sheep and goats, although these animals may have some resistance to the disease (Buxton et al, 2002;Mesquita et al, 2018). In small ruminants, N. caninum can be transmitted horizontally or vertically, and the association of the two forms of transmission is often identified as a way of perpetuating the disease in herds (Nunes et al, 2017;Pereira et al, 2021;Bezerra et al, 2022a, b).…”
