Transplacental Transmission of Theileria equi Is Not a Common Cause of Abortions and Infection of Foals in Israel

Animals, 2020
Although the main route of transmission of Theileria equi is through tick feeding, transplacental transmission is also possible and may lead to abortion, or to the birth of a sick or carrier foal. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of T. equi

Equine piroplasmosis in Brazil

Approaches in Poultry, Dairy & Veterinary Sciences, 2019
Equine piroplasmosis is an infectious and non-contagious disease caused by the hemoprotozoa Babesia caballi and Theileria equi. This disease causes serious economic damage to equine industry in the world. In Brazil, equine piroplasmosis is transmitted mainly by Dermacentor nitens and Amblyomma sculptum ticks.

Evaluation of PCR and multiplex PCR in relation to nested PCR for diagnosing Theileria equi

Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira, 2011
Conventional PCR (PCRTeq) for diagnosing Theileria equi and multiplex PCR (M/PCRTeq-Bc) for diagnosing T. equi and Babesia caballi were comparatively evaluated with nested PCR (N/PCR-Teq) for diagnosing equine piroplasmosis.

Microscopic and Molecular detection of Theileria (Babesia) equi infection in equids of Kurdistan Province, Iran

Iranian Journal of Parasitology, 2016
Background: Equine piroplasmosis (EP) is the cause of persistent tick-borne infection with no symptoms, but the most important problem of EP is due to the persistent carrier state. Carrier animals to Babesia (Theileria) equi (Laveran 1901) and B. caballi
