Summary
This study reports the first evidence of prenatal Setaria marshalli infection in neonatal calves in Korea. The findings highlight potential prenatal parasite transmission in cattle, linked to Akabane virus infection.
Area of Science:
- Veterinary Parasitology
- Animal Virology
- Ruminant Health
Background:
- Setaria spp. are common filariid nematodes affecting ruminants.
- Akabane virus is known to cause congenital abnormalities in cattle.
- Prenatal parasitic infections can significantly impact calf health and development.
