文摘
- •
100 horse in Switzerland were tested for piroplasms by reverse line blotting.
- •
2 horses were positive for T. equi, 5 only with the Theileria genus-specific probe.
- •
Sequencing of the 18S rRNA gene suggested the presence of novel T. equi variants.
- •
The results showed there were two variants or genotype of T. equi in Swiss horses.
- •
Our data are crucial to improve molecular diagnostic tools and increase awareness.
