Absence of Neospora caninum DNA in Human Clinical Samples, Spain

Low antibody titers to Neospora caninum have been reported in humans, but infection has not been confirmed. We used N. caninum–specific PCR to test 600 clinical samples from patients with toxoplasmosis signs but Toxoplasma gondii–negative PCR results. We did not detect N. caninum DNA, demonstrating...

We did not detect N. caninum DNA, demonstrating it is an unlikely opportunistic zoonotic agent.
