A 10-month-old female Bull Mastiff dog was found dead without reports of any prior clinical signs of disease. Necropsy revealed lesions in the myocardium, which consisted of a large 2 x 2.3-cm brownish area and a few small similar lesions. Microscopically, Neospora caninum tachyzoites were found in the lesions characterized by necrosis and interstitial myocarditis. Diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistochemical staining with anti-N caninum serum.

D009205	Myocarditis	Inflammatory processes of the muscular walls of the heart (MYOCARDIUM) which result in injury to the cardiac muscle cells (MYOCYTES, CARDIAC). Manifestations range from subclinical to sudden death (DEATH, SUDDEN).
