'''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 ''[[Toxoplasma gondii]]'' because they are similar morphologically, but advancements in detection methods have made the two distinguishable.

The prognosis is poor. Animals presenting with severe neurologic signs have a grave prognosis.
