ABSTRACT
The white rhinoceros is related to wild Equidae (Perissodactyla; odd-toed ungulates). There is no report on serologic prevalence of N. caninum in rhinos. However, 3 deaths due to overwhelming neosporosis have been reported (Table 15.1). One rhinoceros from South Africa died of massive myocardial necrosis (Figures 15.1 and 15.2), and the one from Thailand of severe hepatitis with 60% of liver parenchyma necrotic. An aborted rhinoceros in Australia also had extensive hepatic necrosis. Numerous tachyzoites were found in lesions in all 3 animals.
