Red Foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in Romania are Carriers of Toxoplasma gondii but not Neospora caninum

Brain samples from 182 red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) from Romania were examined using a standard PCR technique. Results provide evidence of Toxoplasma gondii (11 foxes = 6.0%) and Neospora caninum (1 fox = 0.5%) DNA in red foxes from Romania. No coinfections were found.
