Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and factors associated to Babesia caballi, Theileria equi and Trypanosoma evansi in naturally infected equids from the northeast Brazil. Blood samples from 569 equids (528 horses, 8 mules, and 33 donkeys) were collected and tested for the presence of DNA of each of these protozoan parasites by PCR. Generalized linear models were used to evaluate risk factors associated with the infection. The frequency of T. equi infection was 83.5% (475/569) - 84.3% in hors… Show more

“…In addition to horses, both parasites have been reported in other equids including domestic donkeys [109,137,138,181,[212][213][214][215][216][217][218][219], wild donkeys [214,220], mules [109,138,181,212,216], and zebras [102,214,[220][221][222][223][224][225]; and in non-equids, including dogs [145,[226][227][228][229][230], camels [231,232], cattle [233], and a tapir [234] (recently reviewed in: [5,214]). Donkeys are considered more resistant to infection than horses [217]; however, this assumption is not well established, since the data regarding domestic equids (donkeys and mules) is less comprehensive than in horses, and many surveys use a population of different equine species.…”

“…The overall molecular occurrence for EP agents obtained in thoroughbred horses from Chilean racecourses (B. caballi [5.4%], T. equi [44.2%], co-infection [3.9%]) was lower than previously described in South America (B. caballi [23.5%], T. equi [84.3%], co-infection [22%]) [40,41]. As a global trend [9], T. equi is more prevalent than B. caballi, whereas co-infection is less frequent.…”

“…Several studies reported risk factors and management practices associated with the presence of the parasites, as access to pasture, living on soils favouring the abundance of ticks, lack of hygiene, antiparasitic treatments and vaccination [4,5,6,7]. Adjustment to the rearing condition can mitigate the effects of these factors, reducing the risk to be infected.…”
