Abstract

N. caninum infections have been associated with neonatal paresis as well as abortion around the world. Bovine abortion induced by N. caninum was first reported in 1997 in Korea. Diagnosis of N. caninum infection is usually based on histopathology and immunohistochemical detection of organism. However, often the tissues having lesion suggestive of N. caninum infection were negative on immunohistochemistry. (omitted)
