Abstract
In addition to Sarcocystis neurona, Neospora organisms may be a causat ive agent of equine protozoal myeloencephalitis. Closely related paras ites, such as S neurona and Neospora sp, must be differentiated on the basis of immunoblot analysis. Definitive diagnosis of the causative a gent oi equine protozoal myeloencephalitis only can be made by means o f postmortem immunohistochemical examination for determination of prot ozoal parasites.
