==Introduction==
'''Neosporosis''' is the disease caused by the intracellular protozoa [[Neospora|''Neospora caninum'']]. The dog is the definitive host, cattle are the intermediate host and other mammalian species may act as incidental hosts. In the past ''N. caninum'' has been confused with ''T. gondii'' because they are similar morphologically, but advancements in detection methods have made the two distinguishable.
