Neospora caninum, a pathogenic protozoan parasite, has been considered as a major cause of infectious bovine abortion throughout the world.
The aim of the present study was to determine the seroprevalence of N. caninum antibodies in native and crossbreed cattle of Hamedan province, Iran.
Serum samples of native (n=139) and crossbreed cows (n=261) were examined using ELISA method values were analyzed by description analysis.
The frequency of prevalence for N.caninum antibodies was shown as much as 20 %. Furthermore, the most and the least frequency rates were shown in cattle over 4 years old (32.33%) and less than 2 years old (7.32%), respectively (p<0.05). Meanwhile, 64% of cows which had abortic chain were seropositive (p<0.05).
It can be concluded that N.caninum should be considered as a causative agent for abortion in native and crossbreed cattle in Hamedan province
