Article Synopsis
- EPM is a neurological disease in horses primarily caused by the parasite Sarcocystis neurona, leading to reduced immune responses to its antigens.
- A specific protein from this parasite, named SnSAG1, has been linked to immune suppression in affected horses.
- Experiments showed that horses with clinical EPM had lower levels of the cytokine IFN-gamma and higher levels of IL-4, indicating the parasite's ability to evade the immune response.
