Effect of refrigeration, room temperature, and processing time on serum immunofluorescent antibody titers for Sarcocystis neurona [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Internal MedicineBackground Evaluating antibody titers for Sarcocystis neurona for the diagnosis of equine protozoal myeloencephalitis from serum samples is a common practice. However, ensuring timely and proper refrigeration is not always possible.

Evaluation of real‐time polymerase chain reaction for the diagnosis of protozoal myeloencephalitis in horses using cerebrospinal fluid [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2023 Background Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) caused by Sarcocystis neurona remains an antemortem diagnostic challenge in some horses. Recent work suggested the use of real‐time PCR (rtPCR) on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) as a promising diagnostic ...
