摘要：

Bovine abortion caused by the Apicomplexa parasite Neospora caninum is a major economical problem in the livestock industry worldwide. However, the relationship between N. caninum infection and abortion is still unknown. Our study aimed to elucidate the relationship between parasite-specific antibody responses, parasite stages and abortion. In experimentally infected cattle, anti-NcGRA7 IgG1 antibody was predominantly detected during the acute infection stage, while the production of anti-NcSAG1 IgG1 antibody was observed during both acute and chronic stages. Furthermore, levels of anti-NcGRA7 IgG2 antibody were lower than those of anti-NcSAG1 IgG2 antibody. When tested on cattle with Neospora-associated abortion, positive rates of the anti-NcGRA7 IgG2 antibody were significantly lower than those of the anti-NcSAG1 antibody, although there was no difference in IgG1 antibody-positive rates between the two antigens. In addition, anti-NcGRA7 IgG2 antibodies were not detected in cattle for more than 30 days after abortion. Our results suggested that anti-NcGRA7 and anti-NcSAG1 antibodies are suitable indicators for the activation stage of N. caninum infection and broad detection of the infection, respectively. In conclusion, the use of recombinant NcGRA7 and NcSAG1-based ELISAs will be useful for evaluating the abortion risk associated with N. caninum infection. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
