Serologic Screening for Neospora caninum, France

摘要

To the Editor: In the June 2008 issue of Emerging Infectious Diseases, McCann et al. (1) reported on serologic screening for Neospora caninum antibodies and reported a lack of serologic evidence for Neospora infection in humans in England, where prevalence of infection with the closely related parasite Toxoplasma gondii also is low. Only limited data are available on human exposure to Neospora. We investigated the seroprevalence of N. caninum in humans in France, where Toxoplasma spp. seroprevalence is high.
