This bundle is crucial for the official trading, import, and export of horses. Product Overview The bundle includes: Two cELISA Tests: Detect antibodies to Babesia caballi and Theileria equi. Used for official trading and movement of horses. Follows ISO/IEC 17025 standards. qPCR Test: Detects the genome of Babesia caballi and Theileria equi, providing highly sensitive detection, ideal for early infection detection. Sample Requirements 5 mL of blood or serum - collect blood in a dry tube for cELISA 5 mL of blood - collect blood in K3 EDTA tube for qPCR Turnaround Time Standard Processing: Results in 2 working days after sample arrival. Clients are responsible for organizing and covering the costs of sending the samples. What is Piroplasmosis? Equine piroplasmosis (EP) is a tick-borne disease caused by Babesia caballi and Theileria equi. Infected animals may remain carriers for long periods. The parasites are found in southern Europe, Asia, Africa, and parts of the Americas. Clinical Signs Incubation period: 12 to 19 days for T. equi and 10 to 30 days for B. caballi. Acute form: Fever, reduced appetite, dark red urine, anaemia, and/or icterus. Chronic form: Mild inappetence, poor performance, weight loss. Transmission Babesia caballi sporozoites invade red blood cells (RBCs) and can be transmitted transovarially in ticks. Theileria equi sporozoites invade lymphocytes and are not transmitted transovarially.
