Entry term(s) Neospora caninum
Scope note: Género de protozoos parásitos de la subclase COCCIDIA. Sus especies parasitan a perros, ganado vacuno, cabras y carneros, entre otros. El N. caninum, especie que infecta principalmente al perro, es intracelular en las células neurales y otras células del organismo, se multiplica por endodiogenia, no tiene vacuolas parasitóforas, y tiene numerosos roptries. Se sabe que produce lesiones en muchos tejidos, especialmente en el cerebro y en la médula espinal, así como abortos en las madres embarazadas.

Scope note: A genus of protozoan parasites of the subclass COCCIDIA. Its species are parasitic in dogs, cattle, goats, and sheep, among others. N. caninum, a species that mainly infects dogs, is intracellular in neural and other cells of the body, multiplies by endodyogeny, has no parasitophorous vacuole, and has numerous rhoptries. It is known to cause lesions in many tissues, especially the brain and spinal cord as well as abortion in the expectant mother.
Annotation: do not confuse with NEUROSPORA, a fungus; infection: coordinate IM with COCCIDIOSIS (IM); coordinate with specific protozoan terms (ANTIGENS, PROTOZOAN, etc) if pertinent
