Sera from 78 indigenous cattle were tested, by the indirect fluorescent antibody technique (IFAT), for neosporosis. In vitro cultured Neospora caninum was used as antigen. Antibodies to Neospora at titres 1/640 and above were detected in two samples (2.6%), a titre considered diagnostic for the disease. All the other serum samples exhibited non-specific fluorescent at 1/320. The results indicate that serum antibodies to N. caninum occur in a small percentage of indigenous cattle.
