Extract Neospora caninum is a major cause of disease in cattle and dogs, manifesting with abortions in cattle, and hind limb paresis in mostly young dogs (1) Dubey, JP and Lindsay, DS . 1996.

Previous reports from New Zealand suggest that around 30% of bovine abortions may be due to Neospora (2) Thornton, RN , Thompson, EJ and Dubey, JP . 1991. Neospora abortion in New Zealand cattle.
