Abstract

The frequency of anti-Neospora caninum IgG antibodies was studied in 415 serum samples from owned and stray dogs from Salvador and Lauro de Freitas counties. The Indirect immunofluorescence was performed using a cut-off of 1:50. Anti-N. caninum IgG antibodies were detected in 13.3% (22/165) owned dogs and in 11.2% (28/250) stray dogs. The frequencies of males and females seropositivity were 8.0% (6/75) and 18.4% (14/76) for owned dogs and 12.6 % (17/135) and 9.6% (11/115) in the stray dogs population, respectively.
