"Prevalence of Antibodies to Neospora caninum in White-Tailed Deer, Odocoileus virginianus, From the Southeastern United States," Journal of Parasitology, Vol. 88, No. 2, pp. 415-417. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1645/0022-3395(2002)088[0415:POATNC]2.0.CO;20022-3395http://hdl.handle.net/10919/49072Serum samples from 305 white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) from 14 states in the southeastern United States were examined for antibodies to Neospora caninum using a direct agglutination test. Positive a,agglutination titers were found in 145 (48%) of the white-tailed deer examined: 21 (7%) had titers of 1:25, 92 (30%) had titers of 1:50, and 32 (10%) had titers of greater than or equal to1:500. These findings that antibodies to N. caninum are common in white-tailed deer support the concept that a sylvatic cycle might exist for this economically important parasite of domestic cattle.application/pdfenIn Copyrighttoxoplasma-gondiioocystfoxesdogsparasitologyArticle - Refereedhttp://www.bioone.org/doi/abs/10.1645/0022-3395%282002%29088%5B0415%3APOATNC%5D2.0.CO%3B2https://doi.org/10.1645/0022-3395(2002)088[0415:POATNC]2.0.CO;2
