high prevalence of antibodies to neospora caninum in white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus).	serum samples of 400 white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) from 16 preserves in northeastern illinois were tested for neospora caninum antibodies in the n. caninum agglutination test using mouse-derived n. caninum tachyzoites and mercaptoethanol. antibodies were found in 162 deer with titres of 1:40 (47 deer), 1:80 (32 deer), 1:160 (17 deer), 1:200 (eight deer), 1:400 (19 deer), 1:800 (17 deer) and > or = 1:1600 (22 deer). there were no significant differences in prevalence between age or s ...	1999	10608458
transmission of neospora caninum between wild and domestic animals.	to determine whether deer can transmit neospora caninum, brains of naturally infected white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) were fed to 4 dogs; 2 of these dogs shed oocysts. oocysts from 1 of the dogs were tested by polymerase chain reaction and found to be positive for n. caninum and negative for hammondia heydorni. the internal transcribed spacer 1 sequence of the new strain (designated nc-deer1) was identical to n. caninum from domestic animals, indicating that n. caninum is transmitted ...	2004	15715229
