Abstract

BVD and Neospora caninum are both widely recognized causes of abortion and reproductive losses in beef and dairy herds. Several recent projects have examined the role of N. caninum in both catastrophic losses and routine reproductive performance in cow-calf herds. BVD is also widely recognized as a leading cause of infectious pregnancy failure.
