Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis caused by Neospora hughesi in an adult horse in Saskatchewan.

ABSTRACT: A protozoal parasite identified as Neospora hughesi was found in inflammatory lesions in the central nervous system of a Canadian-born adult horse presented with neurological signs. This is believed to be the first case of equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) caused by Neospora hughesi in a horse outside of the United States.
