title: Seroprevalence of Neospora caninum in dogs in south-western Poland.
abstract: The prevalence of anti-Neospora caninum antibodies was determined in serum samples from 110 dogs in south-western Poland, using the indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT). Antibodies to N. caninum were found in 18 dogs (16.36%), of which 7 were also positive to Toxoplasma gondii. The titres of anti-N. caninum antibodies varied from 1:50 to 1:200.
