Abstract:
The small-subunit (SSU) rDNA of the Neospora sp. NC-PV1 strain isolated in Italy from cattle has been sequenced and compared to the other five N. caninum strains SSU rDNA sequences deposited in the data bases. The NC-PV1 strain sequence is identical to three published sequences. Minor differences, respectively four nucleotide bases and one nucleotide base, have been found when comparing the NC-PV1 sequence with two other available sequences of N. caninum. According to these results, the Neospora sp. NC-PV1 strain is assigned to the species N. caninum.
