With no known drug to clear a cow of infection, parasite control is based on culling positive animals, preventing entry of infected replacements into the herd, and preventing likely routes of horizontal infection. Since clinical signs of illness due to Neospora are undetectable, testing for the parasite is the only means of identification.

Use of diagnostic testing allows cattle owners and operators to assess infection information or exposure status.

Testing also provides information on risks and circumstances that could affect cattle health and performance and is in keeping with API’s aim of providing "management over medicine" technologies to the cattle industry.
