This study was conducted to detect specific anti-Neospora antibodies using a commercial competitive-inhibition ELISA kit, and to evaluate the risk factors for Neospora spp. infection. Out of a total of 2,228 donkey sera collected in three provinces in China, 211 (9.5%) were found to be positive for anti-Neospora antibodies. Statistical analysis revealed that age (p = 0.019, OR = 1.62, 95%CI: 1.08-2.44), feeding status (p < 0.001, OR = 3.79, 95%CI: 2.65-5.43), miscarriage history (p = 0.006, OR = 2.56, 95%CI: 1.27-4.01), and contact with dogs (p < 0.001, OR = 2.69, 95%CI: 1.86-3.88) were significant risk factors for Neospora spp. infection. This is the first evidence of Neospora infection in donkeys in China.
本研究旨在使用商业竞争抑制ELISA试剂盒检测特定的抗新孢子虫抗体，并评估新孢子虫属感染的风险因素。在中国三个省份收集的总共2228份驴血清中，发现211份（9.5%）抗新孢子虫抗体呈阳性。统计分析显示，年龄（p = 0.019，OR = 1.62，95%CI：1.08 - 2.44）、饲养状况（p < 0.001，OR = 3.79，95%CI：2.65 - 5.43）、流产史（p = 0.006，OR = 2.56，95%CI：1.27 - 4.01）以及与狗接触（p < 0.001，OR = 2.69，95%CI：1.86 - 3.88）是新孢子虫属感染的显著风险因素。这是中国驴感染新孢子虫的首个证据。
