Abstract

In view of the limited data on the seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum in the Caribbean region, this study aimed to estimate the seroprevalence of these parasites in cattle in Grenada, West Indies. In Total 148 serum samples were collected from the jugular veins of cattle from the six parishes in the country. The samples were surveyed for T. gondii and N. caninum antibody by an enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA). The overall seroprevalence of T. gondii was 2.7% (4/148) and the seropositivity of N. caninum was 6.8% (10/148). The present results indicate exposure of cattle to T. gondii and N. caninum in Grenada.
