Serologic responses of cats against experimental Sarcocystis neurona infections.
Sarcocystis neurona is the most important cause of a neurologic disease of horses, equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM). Cats and other carnivores can act as its intermediate hosts and horses are aberrant hosts. Little is known of the sero-epidemiology of S. neurona infections in cats. In the present study, antibodies to S. neurona were evaluated by the S. neurona agglutination test (SAT). ...
متن کاملResponse of Horses Exposed to Sarcocystis neurona When Monitored Biweekly
The incubation period of equine protozoal myeloencephalitis may be highly variable and horses may not always develop clinical signs after confirmed exposure. Horses appear to require other risk factors in addition to exposure to Sarcocystis neurona in order to develop clinical signs. Repeated exposures may be protective. Authors’ addresses: College of Veterinary Medicine, Depts. of Veterinary P...
متن کاملSarcocystis fayeri Associated Anti-Toxin in Serum from Horses with Neuromuscular Disease
Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) is a syndrome in which the inflammatory component of disease is an identifying criterion for histological diagnosis, but not addressed in clinical diagnosis or treatment. Two parasites, Sarcocystis neurona or Neospora hughesi, are generally believed to be the cause EPM in horses. Elucidating the nature of the immune response in EPM, determining how S neu...
متن کاملInfection of immunodeficient horses with Sarcocystis neurona does not result in neurologic disease.
Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis is a progressive neurologic disease of horses most commonly caused by infection with the apicomplexan parasite Sarcocystis neurona. Factors affecting neuroinvasion and neurovirulence have not been determined. We investigated the pathogenesis of infection with S. neurona in horses with severe combined immune deficiency (SCID). Two immunocompetent (IC) Arabian h...
متن کاملToxoplasma gondii, Neospora caninum, Sarcocystis neurona, and Sarcocystis canis-like infections in marine mammals.
Toxoplasma gondii, Neospora caninum, Sarcocystis neurona, and S. canis are related protozoans that can cause mortality in many species of domestic and wild animals. Recently, T. gondii and S. neurona were recognized to cause encephalitis in marine mammals. As yet, there is no report of natural exposure of N. caninum in marine mammals. In the present study, antibodies to T. gondii and N. caninum...
