Understanding Neosporosis

Neosporosis is a reproductive disease caused by the protozoal parasite Neospora caninum. It affects dairy and beef cattle but is also diagnosed in sheep, goats and horses.

Neosporosis is found throughout the world and leads to financial losses through embryonic losses, abortion, culled cattle and reduced milk production. Neosporosis is currently the major cause of abortion in cattle in countries such as New Zealand, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and California in the USA.
