Abstract

Neospora caninum tissue cysts were found in sections of the brain from a full-term stillborn deer of Eld (Cervus eldi siamensis) from a zoo in France. There was N. caninum-associated nonsuppurative encephalitis and the diagnosis was confirmed in immunohistochemical staining with antibodies specific to N. caninum.
