Of 211 aborted bovine fetuses collected from Mexican dairy herds between January 1996 and March 1999, 73 showed microscopical lesions consistent with neosporosis. Of these 73 fetuses, 58 (79%) showed lymphocytic myocarditis, 39 (53%) showed microgliosis and multifocal necrosis in the brain, 39 (53%) showed lymphocytic hepatitis, and 19 (26%) showed lymphocytic myositis. Immunohistochemical examination of brain, myocardium and liver from 53 of the same 73 fetuses demonstrated Neospora caninum antigens in 41 (77%), of which 19 (46%) gave positive results in one of the three sites, 15 (37%) in two, and seven (17%) in three. The results indicated the presence of neosporosis in a number of the main dairy farming regions of Mexico.
在1996年1月至1999年3月期间从墨西哥奶牛场收集的211例流产牛胎儿中,73例显示出与新孢子虫病相符的微观病变。在这73例胎儿中,58例(79%)表现为淋巴细胞性心肌炎,39例(53%)表现为脑内小胶质细胞增生和多灶性坏死,39例(53%)表现为淋巴细胞性肝炎,19例(26%)表现为淋巴细胞性肌炎。对这73例胎儿中的53例的脑、心肌和肝脏进行免疫组织化学检查,结果显示41例(77%)存在犬新孢子虫抗原,其中19例(46%)在三个部位中的一个呈阳性,15例(37%)在两个部位呈阳性,7例(17%)在三个部位均呈阳性。结果表明墨西哥一些主要奶牛养殖地区存在新孢子虫病。
