초록
Neospora 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. Here, we describe establishment of PCR-based diagnostic strategy for N caninum infection using DNA extracted from paraffin blocks containing the lesion. PCR was able to amplify N caninum-specific bands from the paraffin blocks containing at least moderate degree of inflammation. Compared to paraffin-blocks, DNA extracted from fresh tissues were less sensitive than that of paraffin blocks. This PCR-based method can be practically applicable for rapid diagnosis of bovine N caninum infection with high specificity and sensitivity. Based on this method, 17% of bovine abortion surveyed during a designated period was associated with N caninum infection.
