Abstract
Our understanding of the epidemiology of bovine neosporosis is advancing rapidly with considerable research activity being facilitated by improving methods. The dynamics of the infection in the known definitive hosts, the dog and the coyote, are being described. Improved procedures for production of oocysts enables the horizontal transmission to intermediate hosts and the subsequent more natural infection process to be studied. Details of the sylvatic cycles, potentially involving other animals in the dairy environment, are also emerging.
