Abstract
The aim of the present study was to detect the seroprevalence of Neospora caninum infection in yaks in Gansu province, China. Serum samples from 974 white yaks and 610 black yaks were tested by a commercial competitive-inhibition ELISA for the detection of specific anti-N. caninum antibodies.; N. caninum antibodies were detected in 10.4% of yaks with higher prevalence in black (11.5% of 610) than white yak (8.6% of 974). Age, regions and sampling times were considered as risk factors associated with N. caninum infection. These results revealed the seroprevalence of N. caninum in white yaks for the first time in China.Entities:
