Key features:
Abortion is a worldwide problem in the livestock industry accounting for annual economic losses of billions of dollars, and N. caninum is a major cause of it. Neosporosis is a newly recognized disease of animals. Until 1988 it was misdiagnosed as toxoplasmosis. Considerable progress in understanding the biology of neosporosis has been made in the last 30 years, resulting in more than 2,000 scientific publications. The economic importance of abortion in cattle, and the availability of knowledge, reagents, and technology used to study toxoplasmosis, have contributed to the rapid progress in understanding the biology of neosporosis.
Written by pioneers in this field, Neosporosis in Animals presents a comprehensive summary of the biology of neosporosis, starting with chapter 1 on the historical background of the discovery of the disease. Subsequent chapters deal with general aspects of the biology of N. caninum (chapter 2), techniques (chapter 3), and the disease caused by this parasite in cattle (chapter 4), dogs (chapter 5), and all other animals including sheep, pigs, primates and humans (chapters 6-18).
This book provides, for the first time in a single authoritative source, a complete account of the structure, biology, clinical disease, diagnosis, epidemiology, treatment, attempts at immunoprophylaxis, and control in all hosts. There are 175 illustrations and tables devoted to the life cycle, structure of parasitic stages, and lesions. More than 2100 references are cited, allowing the reader to locate additional information on specific topics in an efficient way. This book will be useful to a broad range of researchers in biology and veterinarians.

**主要特點：**
- 由命名此寄生蟲的科學家撰寫，並且是第一位建立適當診斷技術的人
- 是首本提供有關新孢子病（neosporosis）寄生蟲結構、生物學、致病機制、臨床症狀、流行病學、預防和控制資訊的書籍
- 涵蓋預防和控制此疾病的兩種方法：開發有效的疫苗和健全的牛隻管理實踐
- 包含大量插圖，包括許多作者拍攝的寄生蟲原始照片
- 提供有關該疾病的免疫學和分子方面的基本資訊
流產是全球畜牧業的一個問題，每年造成數十億美元的經濟損失，而N. caninum是其主要原因。新孢子病是一種新近被認識的動物疾病。在1988年之前，它被誤診為弓形蟲病（toxoplasmosis）。在過去30年中，對新孢子病生物學的理解取得了相當大的進展，產生了超過2000篇科學出版物。牛隻流產的經濟重要性，以及用於研究弓形蟲病的知識、試劑和技術的可用性，促進了對新孢子病生物學的快速理解。
由該領域的先驅撰寫的《動物中的新孢子病》（Neosporosis in Animals）提供了新孢子病生物學的綜合總結，第一章介紹了該疾病發現的歷史背景。隨後的章節涉及N. caninum的生物學一般方面（第二章）、技術（第三章），以及該寄生蟲在牛隻（第四章）、狗（第五章）和其他所有動物（包括羊、豬、靈長類動物和人類，第六至十八章）中引起的疾病。
這本書首次在單一權威來源中提供了有關所有宿主的結構、生物學、臨床疾病、診斷、流行病學、治療、免疫預防嘗試和控制的完整記錄。書中有175幅插圖和表格，專門介紹寄生階段的生活週期、結構和病變。引用了超過2100篇參考文獻，讓讀者能夠有效地找到特定主題的額外資訊。這本書將對生物學研究人員和獸醫有廣泛的幫助。
作者簡介
J. P. Dubey, M. V. Sc. Ph.D., was born in India. He received his veterinary degree in 1960, and Masters in Veterinary Parasitology in 1963, from India. He obtained a Ph.D. in Medical Microbiology in 1966 from the University of Sheffield, England. He obtained post doctoral training with Dr. J. K. Frenkel, Department of Pathology and Oncology, University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, from 1968 to 1973. From 1973 to 1978, he was Associate Professor of Veterinary Parasitology, Department of Pathobiology, Ohio State University, Columbus. He was Professor of Veterinary Parasitology, Department of Veterinary Science, Montana State University, Bozeman, from 1978 to 1982. He is presently a Senior Scientist, Animal Parasitic Diseases Laboratory, Beltsville Agricultural Research Institute, Agricultural Research Service, United States Department of Agriculture, Beltsville, Maryland.
Dr. Dubey has spent over 50 years researching protozoa, including Toxoplasma, Neospora, Sarcocystis and related cyst-forming coccidian parasites of humans and animals. He has published over 1400 research papers in international journals, more than 200 of which are on neosporosis. In 1985 he was chosen to be the first recipient of the "Distinguished Veterinary Parasitologist Award" by the American Association of Veterinary Parasitologists. Dr. Dubey is recipient of the 1995 WAAVP Pfizer Award for outstanding contributions to Research in Veterinary Parasitology. He also received the 2005 Eminent Parasitologists Award by the American Society of Parasitologists. The Thomas/Institute for Scientific Information identified him as one of the world's most cited authors in plant and animal sciences for the last decade. In 2010, he was elected to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, Washington, D.C., and inducted in the USDA-ARS Hall of Fame.

J. P. Dubey，M. V. Sc. Ph.D.，出生於印度。他於1960年獲得獸醫學學位，並於1963年在印度獲得獸醫寄生蟲學碩士學位。他於1966年在英國謝菲爾德大學獲得醫學微生物學博士學位。他於1968年至1973年間在堪薩斯州堪薩斯城的堪薩斯大學醫學中心病理學與腫瘤學系接受博士後訓練。從1973年到1978年，他擔任俄亥俄州立大學病理生物學系的獸醫寄生蟲學副教授。從1978年到1982年，他擔任蒙大拿州立大學獸醫科學系的獸醫寄生蟲學教授。他目前是美國農業部貝爾茨維爾農業研究所動物寄生疾病實驗室的高級科學家，位於馬里蘭州貝爾茨維爾。
Dubey博士在原生動物研究方面擁有超過50年的經驗，包括弓形蟲、牛新生寄生蟲、肌肉包囊蟲及相關的囊腫形成的胞子蟲寄生蟲，這些寄生蟲影響人類和動物。他在國際期刊上發表了超過1400篇研究論文，其中超過200篇專注於新生寄生蟲病。1985年，他被選為美國獸醫寄生蟲學會首位「傑出獸醫寄生蟲學家獎」的獲得者。Dubey博士於1995年獲得WAAVP Pfizer獎，以表彰他在獸醫寄生蟲學研究方面的傑出貢獻。他還於2005年獲得美國寄生蟲學會的傑出寄生蟲學家獎。湯瑪斯/科學信息研究所將他列為過去十年在植物和動物科學領域中被引用最多的作者之一。2010年，他當選為美國國家科學院院士，並被納入美國農業部農業研究服務局名人堂。
