Article Synopsis
- Equine piroplasmosis, caused by Theileria equi and Babesia caballi, poses a significant threat to the horse industry and affects international horse trade.
- A study in western Cuba tested 100 horses, revealing 73% positive for T. equi, 25% for B. caballi, and 20% with dual infections, while also identifying tick infestations.
- This research is the first to molecularly detect both B. caballi and T. equi in Cuban horses, indicating high prevalence and suggesting various genotypes of T. equi are present in the region.
