It is clear from researching the vertical transmission of Neospora caninum in cattle that the terms 'vertical', 'congenital' and, indeed, 'transplacental' are inadequate for describing two extremely different situations that have fundamentally different immunological, epidemiological and control implications. A similar situation pertains to Toxoplasma gondii in different hosts. We advocate the use of the terms 'endogenous transplacental infection (TPI)' to define foetal infection from a recrudescent maternal infection acquired before pregnancy (and probably prenatally) and 'exogenous TPI' to define foetal infection that occurs as a result of an infection of the dam during pregnancy.
