The seroprevalence of Neospora caninum infection was estimated from a sample of 813 cattle from 20 dairy herds in five regions in Mexico. The true prevalence of infection was estimated to be 42% (95% CI: 39, 46). Seropositivity was associated with abortion (odds ratio (OR)=2.0) and was higher among cows raised on-farm (41%), than among replacement cattle purchased outside the farm (28%). The ORs relating abortion to seropositivity in individual herds ranged from 1.3 to 10. Overall, 26% of the abortions were attributed to N. caninum.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
