Neospora caninum: is it really different from Hammondia heydorni or is it a strain of Toxoplasma gondii? An opinion.

Abstract:

:The published data concerning Toxoplasma gondii, Hammondia hammondi, H. heydorni and Neospora caninum on one side and between T. gondii on the other were neglected by most authors. As conclusion we are convinced that there are only two valid species: Isospora (Toxoplasma) gondii and Hammondia heydorni. The first includes as a strain H. hammondi and the latter N. caninum. In any case there is absolutely no reason (with respect to general Zoological nomenclature) to create new genera!

  • First detection and molecular identification of Entamoeba bovis from Japanese cattle.

    abstract::Thus far, Entamoeba species have been classified based on morphology such as the number of nuclei in mature cysts and their hosts. Using recently developed molecular tools, ruminant Entamoeba spp. are currently classified into four species/genotypes: E. bovis and Entamoeba ribosomal lineages (RL) 1, 2, and 4. However,...
