Other methods of infection include ingestion of sporulated oocysts from dog faecal matter and ingestion of tissue cysts in the tissues of intermediate or incidental hosts, for example bovine placenta. The clinical syndrome associated with infection is primarily nueromuscular and is a result of the organism replicating in tissues. Other organ systems may also be affected which may result in pneumonia, ulcerative dermatitis and hepatitis.

In some animals with a chronic or subclinical infection, administration of glucocorticoids results in activation of neospora in tissue cysts and clinical disease.
