Abstract

This study investigates the presence of antibodies to N. caninum in cattle, sheep, goats and dogs from Egypt. Sera from the tested animals were examined using a direct agglutination test incorporating mercaptoethanol and formalin-preserved whole N. caninum tachyzoites as antigen. Anti- N. caninum antibodies were found in 18 out of 111 aborted cattle (16.2%). Abortion occurs during the third to ninth month of gestation period. Three of the 26 non-aborted cattle (11.5%) were seropositive. Statistical analysis indicated that anti- N. caninum antibodies occurred more in the aborted than in the non-aborted group (slightly significant). Seventy-three of 202 sheep (36.1%) and 31 of 88 (35.2%) goats recorded antibodies for N. caninum. Eight out of 29 (27.6%) stray dogs had antibodies agaist N. caninum. The present communication is the first nationwide survey on serological evidence of N. caninum antibodies in different life stock and dogs in Egypt.
