Abstract
In this article special attention is paid to infections with Neospora caninum as a cause of abortion in cattle. Recently (1996) Neospora can inum was diagnosed in an aborted calf. This calf originated from a dai ry herd with 65 cows. During the last seven years on average nine cows (14 %) have aborted per year on this farm. This finding shows that Ne ospora caninum infections are enzootic in Belgium.
