Abstract:
A recently published opinion that Hammondia heydorni, Neospora caninum, and N. hughesi are a single species is not supported by genetic comparisons. Furthermore, the suggestion that oocysts shed by dogs after experimental infection with N. caninum might have been of another organism is not consistent with the finding that these oocysts induced N. caninum infections in mice.
