Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate an epidemiological state of neosporosis in Korean indigenous cattle in Uljin. Bloody samples were collected from 552 female cattle (337 farms), more than 5 years old, in 10 districts of Uljin, Antibody to N caninum were examined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Seroprevalence of individual and farm were 7.6% (42/552) and 8.6% (29/337), respectively. Positive rates by districts was variable $(0%{\sim}14,9%)$, and it was seemed to be a tendency that positive farms gathered with in a small zone. In seroprevalence by herd size farms having between 5-9 heads was top (37%), but there was no significant difference among herd size.
