Seroprevalence and risk factors of Neospora spp. in donkeys from Southern Italy

Logistic regression analysis demonstrated evidence of a significant (P < 0.05) association between crossbreed origin of samples and risk of protozoan infection; age of donkeys was also significant risk factor for protozoan infection. No statistical significant difference (P > 0.05) was found among genders and use of donkeys and risk of N. caninum infection. This is the first serological survey for Neospora spp. performed in donkeys.
