- Neospora caninum is a protozoan parasite that causes abortion and important economic losses in cattle worldwide. The accurate diagnosis of neosporosis is essential for management and control measures. The aims of this study were: i) to evaluate the performance of an in-house enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay based on the 38 kDa native antigen (p38-ELISA) to diagnose bovine neosporosis in Argentina using a well- characterized local sera panel from experimentally infected and naturally exposed cattle and ii) to compare the diagnostic performance and agreement of three N. caninum serological tests: p38-ELISA, indirect fluorescence antibody test (IFAT) and immunoblotting (IB) using the same sera panel. Serum samples testing either positive or negative by IFAT and IB were considered “Relative Standards of Comparison” (RSC) and used for p38-ELISA evaluation. Receiver operating characteristics analysis revealed that p38-ELISA was highly accurate (area under the curve= 0.982) according to RSC with a cut-off index of 0.0905. Relative sensitivity and specificity of p38-ELISA were 97.8 % and 99.5 %, respectively and agreement between RSC and p38-ELISA was almost perfect (k= 0.97). The evaluation and performance comparison of serological tests were performed according to the definition of gold standard based on the decision of the “majority of tests”. All tests displayed high sensitivity and specificity values (greater than 95 %); and excellent agreement. This study describes the accurate performance of p38-ELISA evaluated locally and the highly accurate diagnostic performance of the studied tests for the detection of anti-N.caninum antibodies in cattle from Argentina.
Neospora caninum es un parásito protozoo responsable de abortos y pérdidas económicas en bovinos. La realización de un diagnóstico serológico preciso y con resultados comparables obtenidos por diferentes pruebas contribuye al manejo de este problema y a encarar medidas de control. Los objetivos del presente trabajo fueron los siguientes: 1) evaluar en Argentina una prueba de enzimoinmunoensayo in-house con el antígeno nativo de 38 kDa de N. caninum (ELISA-p38) para el diagnóstico de la neosporosis bovina, utilizando un panel de sueros locales bien caracterizados, procedentes de bovinos infectados de modo experimental o naturalmente expuestos; 2) comparar el desempeno˜ y establecer el nivel de concordancia de tres pruebas serológicas para la detección de N. caninum, ELISA-p38, inmunofluorescencia indirecta (IFI) e inmunoblot (IB), con el mismo panel de sueros. Los sueros que resultaron positivos o negativos a IFI e IB fueron considerados como estándares relativos de comparación (ERC) para evaluar la prueba de ELISA-p38. El análisis de característica operativa del receptor determinó que la prueba de ELISA-p38 fue altamente precisa (área bajo la curva= 0,982) usando el punto de corte 0,0905. La sensibilidad y especificidad relativa del ELISA-p38 fue 97,8 % y 99,5 %, respectivamente, con una concordancia casi perfecta (k= 0,97) respecto del ERC. La comparación del desempeno˜ de las pruebas se realizó usando como gold standard el criterio de la decisión de la ‘‘mayoría de las pruebas’’. Las pruebas exhibieron altos valores de sensibilidad y especificidad (mayores del 95 %) y excelente concordancia. Este trabajo describe un buen desempeno˜ de la prueba de ELISA-p38 evaluada localmente y adecuada performance diagnóstica de las pruebas serológicas analizadas para la detección de anticuerpos anti N. caninum en bovinos de Argentina.
