Differences in the heterogeneity of the numbers of repeat units characteristic for Neospora caninum microsatellite loci examined in the present and a previous study conducted in cattle from northern Italy [31], i.e. in the regions Lombardy (LOM), Piedmont (PMN), and Veneto-Trento (VEN). The range between the lowest and highest number of repeats was largest for MS10.2 (17 repeats), followed by MS6A (13), MS5 (9) and MS7 (9). For the remaining repeats, the range was four (MS12, MS21, MS10.1, MS10.3) or three repeats (MS6B). Pairwise Wilcoxon test (BH adjusted P value) revealed statistically significant differences in MS5 (LOM vs VEN), MS6B (LOM vs PMN, LOM vs VEN), MS7 (LOM vs PMN), MS10.1 (LOM vs VEN, PMN vs VEN) and MS10.2 (LOM vs PMN, LOM vs VEN)
