Conteúdo: | Neospora caninum  has a wordwide distribution and is considered an important cause of bovine abortion. Sera from beef catle from a upland region (Campo Grande) and a wetland one (Pantanal) and from dogs from the upland region (Campo Grande) were evaluated for the presence of N. caninum antibodies. Indirect fluorescent antibody test was used to detect antibodies in dogs and a commercial ELISA assay in bovines. In the aupland region, the  numbers  ofpositive sera of N. caninum were 5.58 times as high  in cows with and abortion history (43%) as in cows without it (7.7%). In the wetland region, 30% of the heifers evaluated were seropositive. Thirty percent of all dogs evaluate were seropositive. Preliminary data suggest that the evidence of abortion is related to a higher N. caninum serology in bovines in Mato Grosso do Sul.
