Journal Article
Molecular and serological prevalence rates of Neospora caninum infection in dogs from Jordan
2024
Overview
Neosporosis is a proven disease of farm animals and dogs caused by
Neospora caninum.
This cross-sectional study investigates
N. caninum
prevalence and seroprevalence among 268 dogs.
Nc5
gene PCR was carried out on dog faeces and confirmed by sequencing. Seroprevalence was detected using an indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT). Three age groups, gender, locality (Amman, Irbid, and Zarqa Governorates), dog type (stray, pet, and breeding), place of living (indoor/outdoor), food type (raw/cooked), having diarrhoea, having abortion in the area, and having animals nearby were tested as independent variables for associations with positivity to
N. caninum
using univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses. The true prevalence of
N. caninum
was 34.3% (95% CI 28.4, 40.5) using the
Nc5
-PCR test. The true seroprevalence rate of
N. caninum
among dogs in Jordan was 47.9% (95% CI 41.4, 54.5) using IFAT. The sequenced isolates of
Nc5
-PCR products (
n
= 85) matched three
N. caninum
strains, namely, NcHareGre (
n
= 70, 82.4%, 95% CI 72.6–89), NC MS2 (
n
= 14, 16.5%, 95% CI 9.3–26.1), and L218 (
n
= 1, 1.2%, 95% CI 0.03–6.4). The three strains were isolated previously from three different countries and continents.
N. caninum
shedding is associated with abortion among dogs and animals in the area (odds ratio = 3.6). In Amman and Zarqa, living indoors reduced seroprevalence at 0.45, 0.24, and 0.02 odds ratios, respectively. Jordan shares three molecular
N. caninum
strains with three different countries and continents.
