PTE020/6 cELISA test to detect antibodies against Theileria equi

Why test?

The cELISA test is ideal for detecting chronic or inapparent infections, routine screening, and ensuring compliance with international trade regulations. It detects antibodies (IgG) 21 days post-exposure.

Clinical signs

Incubation period

12–19 days for Theileria equi.
10–30 days for Babesia caballi.

Acute form

Fever
Reduced appetite
Dark red urine

Transmission

Equine Piroplasmosis is transmitted by ticks.

Babesia caballi invades red blood cells and can be transmitted transovarially in ticks.

Theileria equi initially invades lymphocytes before infecting red blood cells and is not transmitted transovarially.

Prevention

Implement effective tick control programmes.
Test horses before import, export or international movement.
Screen horses entering breeding or competition facilities.
Follow local biosecurity measures in endemic regions.
