Abstract
Neosporosis is primarily a disease of dogs and cattle. The causative
Qrganism, Neospora caninum, is a coccidian parasite infecting a wide range of
wild and domestic animals which act as intermediate host. Rodents serve as a
potential reservoir for the protozoa in environment. The purpose of this study was
to detect the presence of N. caninum in feral rat population by parasitological,
serological and molecular assays.
