This survey was carried out to investigate the seroprevalence of Neospora caninum in Korean indigenous cattle that was raised in the southern area of Gyenongbuk and Ulleung-gun. A total of 3,162 cattle from 984 farms were tested for the presence of antibodies against N. caninum using a commercial ELISA (IDEXX Switzerland AG, Liebefeld-bern) test kit. The Seropositive ratio of cattle was 1.38% (40/2,901), 0.77% (2/261) in the southern area of Gyeongbuk and Ulleung-gun, respectively. Regional seropositive rates of farms were 5.31% (11/207), 3.45% (4/116), 1.48% (2/135), 2.13% (2/94), 2.78% (3/108), 3.91% (95/128), 4.17% (4/96), 4.35% (3/69), 6.45% (2/31) at Gumi, Yeongcheon, Gyeongsan, Gunwi, Chengdo, Goryeong, Senogju, Chilgor and Ulleung-gun, respectively. A herd of cattle under 4 years old was 1.4% (28 heads), and above the age of 5 years was 1.1% (14 heads). and in seroprevalenec cattles by herd size farms raising under 100 heads were 39 heads.
