Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the seroprevalence of Neospora caninum infection in dogs from Romania at a national level and to detect possible correlations between the value of seroprevalence and a series of factors like sex, age, breed category and area. The prevalence of anti-N. caninum antibodies was determined in sera samples from 1114 dogs located in different regions of Romania using the IFAT method. Antibodies to N. caninum were found in 364 dogs (32.7%). The titers of anti-N. caninum antibodies varied from 1:50 to 1:800.
