犬新孢子虫是一种世界性的原生动物，可引起犬的神经肌肉疾病和家养及野生反刍动物的繁殖障碍。本次调查的目的是确定N。中国养殖西卡鹿的犬感染，因为对这种宿主-寄生虫关系知之甚少。2013 - 2014年在辽宁、吉林和黑龙江三省主要产区采集了1800份养殖西卡血清样品。通过ELISA测定N. 2013年和2014年，犬抗体的血清阳性率分别为13.6%和15.8%，不同地区的阳性率从9.5%到27.5%不等。统计分析显示，年龄>4岁的动物（20.4%）的患病率显著高于年龄范围
Neospora caninum is a worldwide protozoan that can induce neuromuscular disease in dogs and reproductive failure in domestic and wild ruminants. The objective of the present investigation was to determine the seroprevalence of N. caninum infection in farmed sika deer in China as little is known of this host-parasite relationship. A total of 1800 serum samples were collected during 2013 and 2014 from farmed sika deer in the major production areas of Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces. Assay by ELISA for N. caninum antibodies indicated a seroprevalence of 13.6% in 2013 and 15.8% in 2014, varying in different regions from 9.5% to 27.5%. Statistical analysis revealed that prevalence in animals aged >4 years (20.4%) was significantly higher than in the age ranges
