    abstract = {<i>Neospora caninum</i> is now recognized as a
major cause of abortion in cattle worldwide. The
prevalence of <i>N. caninum</i> infection in buffaloes reported
worldwide caused the buffalo considered to be an
important intermediate host of <i>N. caninum</i> even though
the role of <i>N. caninum</i> infection in buffalo is still unclear.
At present, there was only few reports concerned <i>N.
caninum</i> infection in buffaloes from Thailand. We
examined the seroprevalence of <i>N. caninum</i> antibodies in
112 clinical healthy buffaloes from the central, Thailand
using a commercial competitive ELISA (VMRD,
Pullman, USA). Antibodies to <i>N. caninum</i> were found in
78 out of 112 buffaloes (69.6%). Our study showed the
high seroprevalence of <i>N. caninum</i> infection in
buffaloes from Thailand. To our knowledge, this is the
first report of N. caninum infection in Murah, river
buffaloes and crossbred buffaloes in Thailand.}
