      OverOver

      The Equine Piroplasmosis Bundle combines cELISA and qPCR testing for comprehensive detection of Babesia caballi and Theileria equi.

      The bundle includes:

      • Two cELISA tests for the detection of antibodies against Babesia caballi and Theileria equi.
      • One qPCR test for the detection of the genome of Babesia caballi and Theileria equi.

      The cELISA assays comply with ISO/IEC 17025 standards and are suitable for official horse movement, import and export requirements.

      What is Equine Piroplasmosis?

      Equine Piroplasmosis (EP) is a tick-borne disease caused by Babesia caballi and Theileria equi.

      Infected horses may remain carriers for prolonged periods.

      The disease occurs in southern Europe, Asia, Africa and parts of the Americas.

      Waarom testen?Waarom testen?

      This bundle combines serological (cELISA) and molecular (qPCR) testing to improve diagnostic accuracy.

      It is particularly useful for:

      • Import and export certification.
      • Official horse movement.
      • Early infection detection.
      • Confirmation of carrier animals.

      Incubation period

      • Theileria equi: 12–19 days
      • Babesia caballi: 10–30 days

      Acute disease

      • Fever
      • Reduced appetite
      • Dark red urine

      • Poor performance
      • Weight loss
      TransmissieTransmissie

      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.
      PreventiePreventie
      • Prevent tick exposure through appropriate tick-control measures.
      • Screen horses before import, export or movement.
      • Test horses entering breeding facilities or endemic areas.
      • Follow local biosecurity and movement regulations where Equine Piroplasmosis is monitored.

      Veelgestelde vragenVeelgestelde vragen

      Why does this bundle include both cELISA and qPCR?

      The two techniques complement each other. The cELISA tests detect antibodies, indicating previous exposure to Babesia caballi and Theileria equi, while the qPCR test detects the DNA of the pathogens, allowing identification of active infection, including in the early stages.

      Which samples are required?

      A serum sample is required for the cELISA tests, and a K3 EDTA blood sample is required for the qPCR test.

      Is this bundle suitable for import and export testing?

      Yes. This bundle has been designed to support official testing for the international movement, import and export of horses.

      How long does it take to receive the results?

      Standard processing provides results within 2 working days after sample arrival at the laboratory.

      Can apparently healthy horses test positive?

      Yes. Horses infected with Babesia caballi or Theileria equi may remain carriers for long periods without showing clinical signs.
