  Neosporosis is a disease caused by a protozoan called Neospora caninum, which is characterized by abortion in cows and nerve and muscle paralysis of various organs, especially the hind limbs of dogs. This disease was identified for the first time in 1984 in Norway. The dog is the only definitive host and also the intermediate host of protozoa and contamination can also be seen in cattle, sheep, goats, horses, and deer. The importance of neosporosis disease is related to causing abortion in ruminants (especially cows) and the economic losses caused in industrial livestock farming, which has caused many studies to be conducted in Iran and rest of the world. The disease was first reported in Iran in 2004, and since that year, many studies have been conducted about it. In this review article, an attempt has been made to introduce the protozoa that causes the disease and its evolution, as well as the methods of diagnosing the disease, and provide an overview of the studies conducted on this disease in Iran, from the beginning to the present day.
