      Clinical signsClinical signs

      Incubation period

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

      Acute form

      • Fever
      • Reduced appetite
      • Dark red urine
      • Anaemia
      • Icterus

      Chronic form

      • Mild inappetence
      • Poor performance
      • Weight loss
      TransmissionTransmission

      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.

      PreventionPrevention
      • 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.
