Abstract

A protozoan closely related to Neospora caninum, which until more fully characterized is usually referred to as a Neospora-like protozoan, was recently demonstrated to be the most common cause of abortion in dairy breed bovine fetuses submitted to the South Dakota Animal Disease Research and Diagnostic Laboratory (SDADRDL).10 The purpose of this report is to briefly review Neospora-like protozoan as a cause of bovine abortion and to discuss the cases submitted to the SDADRDL.
