Abstract
This review summarizesemergingand re-emergingmajor bacterial, fungal, viral and protozoan causes of abortion
in cattle. The clinical presentations of disease due to reproductive pathogens are emphasized, with afocus on assisting
development of complete lists of major causes that result in abortion in cattle. Clinicians areencouraged to assess clinical
presentation, create complete lists of differential diagnoses, obtain appropriate diagnostic samples, maximize diagnostic
laboratory support, and avoid zoonotic infections resulting from reproductive pathogens of animals. Thefoundation of an
accurate diagnosis of reproductive loss due to infectious pathogens facilitates the prudent use of immunization andbiosecurity
to minimize reproductive losses.
