Neospora caninum is an abortive protozoon in cattle, which causes severe economic losses worldwide. Chronically infected cattle however develop immune responses protecting against further Neospora induced abortions. Controversy about losses other than abortion in Neospora-infected cattle still exists. Although, culling of seropositive animals has been recommended as a strategy for reducing economic losses due to N. caninum, there is no guarantee of escaping postnatal infection and abortion storms by having a "Neospora-sterile herd". An inactivated vaccine has been demonstrated to reduce abortion rates. Antibodies generated by natural infection can not presently be differentiated from those induced by vaccination; however, since maternal antibodies disappear by 6 months in calves born to vaccinated heifers, a test-and cull strategy could be performed in replacement heifers before breeding and vaccination. This review article discusses control strategies for Neospora-infection in cattle, and provides suggestions for further research
