Susceptibility to infection of invertebrate locusts with the parasite Neospora caninum

Neospora caninum-infected locust brains

December 2, 2014

Susceptibility to infection of invertebrate locusts with the parasite Neospora caninum

It has been found that locusts can be infected with N. caninum, which causes infertility and abortion in cattle & neuromuscular disorders in dogs. Therefore, the locust could act as a model organism for this parasite.
