The Neospora Paradox: Why Does the "Silent" Infection in Buffaloes Hold the Key to Beating Abortion Storms in Cattle?

2026-04-17

Abstract excerpt

Neospora caninum is a master of reproductive disruption, causing devastating abortion storms in cattle and inflicting annual billion-dollar losses on the global livestock industry. Yet, in water buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis)—a phylogenetically close relative often raised in the same environments—the same parasite often takes on a different role: a silently persisting infection with significantly lower rates of clini...
