Abstract: RESUMO.-[Detecção molecular e serológica de Theileria equi, Babesia caballi e Anaplasma phagocytophilum em equinos e carrapatos no Maranhão.] A piroplasmose equina é uma doença transmitida por carrapatos causada pelos protozoários intraeritrocitários Babesia caballi e Theileria equi. É relatada como uma doença parasitária comum em equinos. Além disso, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, o agente causal da ehrlichiose granulocítica, causa uma doença sazonal em equinos. Ambas as doenças, podem ser prejudiciais para a saú… Show more

“…The ELISA assay performed in this study revealed that, among the seroreactive horses, 34.9% tested positive for T. equi and 27.2% for B. caballi. These findings are consistent with those of two other studies conducted recently in northeastern Brazil, using ELISA, the first of which reported finding 43.5% of animals positive for T. equi and 7.7% for B. caballi, while the second study found 38.1% positive for T. equi and 18.6% for B. caballi (BRAGA et al, 2017;NOGUEIRA et al, 2017). In Paraíba, also in the country's northeastern region, a study using IFA found that 59.6% of horses were seroreactive to T. equi (FERREIRA et al, 2016).…”

“…This has also been reported by Ruegg et al (2007), Sevinc et al (2008) and Kouam et al (2010), supporting the assumption that T. equi infection persists throughout life (BRÜNING, 1996). Nogueira et al (2017) also state that the risk of T. equi infection increases as a function of age, the presence of ticks, and vaccination against other diseases.…”

“…Anti- A. phagocytophilum antibodies were detected in 65% ( n = 13) of horses in the Brazilian Army (1st Guards Cavalry Regiment, Independence Dragoons, Brasilia - DF, Brazil) and in Goiania county, GO, Brazil, with clinical signs suggestive of EGA ( Salvagni et al., 2010 ). Anti- A. phagocytophilum antibodies were also detected in horses from the Southeast ( Prado et al., 2018 , Rolim et al., 2015 ), Northeast ( Nogueira et al., 2017 ) and South ( Vieira et al., 2013 ) of Brazil. In addition, Sacchi et al.…”

“…Considering the high diversity and density of ticks in Rio de Janeiro, the possibility of coinfection with A. phagocytophilum and T. equi must be considered ( Peckle et al., 2013 , Pires et al., 2013 , Santos et al., 2011 ). Serological evidence has been previously reported in horses from the Southeast ( Prado et al., 2018 ), Midwest ( Salvagni et al., 2010 ) and Northeast ( Nogueira et al., 2017 ) regions of Brazil. However, the circulation of A. phagocytophilum in horses has not been clearly demonstrated by specific molecular methods.…”
