NEOSPOROSIS
Neospora caninum is a protozoan parasite first observed in dogs in which it causes myositis and encephalitis. However, in the 1990's, it was observed that Neospora was a major cause of abortion in cows which usually occurs between the fourth and seventh months of gestation. Depending on the number of infected cows in the herd, the abortion rate ranges from 5% to 30%; the higher rates are characterised by serial abortions occurring in less than a month. It is not fully understood how the parasite is transmitted but the main route seems to be from mother to offspring with at least 80% of the calves born to seropositive cows infected. In addition, it has been suggested that dogs may be involved in the transmission of Neospora to bovines. This infection is known on all continents and it is the leading cause of bovine abortion in some countries (ahead of BVD and IBR).
