Testing for antibodies against N. caninum in maternal serum by ELISA or IFA tests are used to determine the herd and individual animal infectious status, but alone, the presence of maternal antibodies does not prove neosporosis as the cause of the abortion. In cattle, fetal mummification occurs after formation of the placenta and fetal ossification. Fetal mummification needs to be differentiated from fetal maceration, in which the fetus putrefies...
