Evcil hayvanlarda neosporosis

Son yıllarda güncelleşen Neospora türleri, Apicomplexa anacında yer alan protozponlar olup, köpek ve sığırlarda ölümcül sinirsel bozukluk ve abortlara neden olmakta, nadiren koyun, keçi, at ve geyiklerde de görülmektedir. Konuyla ilgili olarak Türkiye'de herhangi bir çalışma veya makaleye rastlanmamıştır. Bu nedenle bu makalede, Neospora türlerinin tarihçesi, sınıflandırılması, morfolojisi, yaşam çemberi, bulaşma yolları, yayılışı, klinik belirtileri, teşhisi, histopatolojisi, sağaltımı ve korunma yolları ile ilgili kısa bilgiler verilmiştir.

Neosporosis in domestic animals

Neospora species recognised recently has been classified as Apicomplexa parasite. It can cause fatal neurological disorders and abort in dogs and cattle. The causative organisms were seen rarely in sheep, goats, horses and deer. There is no study and article about this subject in Turkey. So, in this article, it has been given some informations about their histories, morphology, life-cycle, routes of contamination, distribution, clinical sings, diagnosis, histhopathology, treatment and prevention methods.
