      Neospora caninum is recognized as a major cause of reproductive losses worldwide but its pathogenesis is not completely understood. Immune mediated placental pathology has been reported as being responsible for compromising ...
    • High rate of transplacental infection and transmission of Neospora caninum following experimental challenge of cattle at day 210 of gestation 

      Benavides-Silván, Julio; Katzer, Frank; Maley, Stephen W.; Bartley, Paul M.; Canton, German Jose; Palarea-Albaladejo, Javier; Purslow, Caroline A.; Pang, Yvonne; Rocchi, Mara; Chianini, Francesca; Buxton, David; Innes, Elisabeth A. (BMC, 2012-12)
      In order to investigate the pathogenesis of neosporosis following a primary infection in late pregnancy, cattle were subcutaneously challenged with 5 × 108 Neospora caninum (NC1 isolate) tachyzoites at day 210 of gestation ...
    • Inflammatory infiltration into placentas of Neospora caninum challenged cattle correlates with clinical outcome of pregnancy 

      Canton, German Jose; Katzer, Frank; Maley, Stephen W.; Bartley, Paul M.; Benavides-Silván, Julio; Palarea-Albaladejo, Javier; Pang, Yvonne; Smith, Sionagh; Rocchi, Mara; Buxton, David; Innes, Elisabeth A.; Chianini, Francesca (BMC, 2014-01)
      Infection with Neospora caninum stimulates host cell-mediated immune responses, which may be responsible for placental damage leading to bovine abortion. The aim of this study was to compare immune responses in the bovine ...
