“…Die möglichen Vektorzecken (hauptsächlich die Gattungen Dermacentor, Hyalomma, Rhipicephalus ) kommen vor allem in subtropischen und tropischen Ländern vor, z. T. jedoch auch in gemäßigten Klimazonen wie Südeuropa. Deutschland ist nach jetzigem Stand kein endemisches Gebiet, es kommt jedoch vor allem bei Importpferden oder nach Auslandsaufenthalten zu Infektionen 1 , 2 , 3 . Vor allem bei Infektionen von adulten Pferden aus nicht-endemischen Gebieten kann es zu hohen Mortalitätsraten kommen (> 50%).…”

Ein 14-jähriger Warmblutwallach wurde mit mehrtägigem hohem Fieber und schlechtem Allgemeinbefinden vorgestellt. Vorberichtlich hatte kurz vor Beginn der klinischen Symptome ein Auslandsaufenthalt auf einem internationalen Turnier in der Slowakei stattgefunden. Als Hauptbefunde zeigten sich Fieber, Anämie, Hyperbilirubinämie und Thrombozytopenie. Die Diagnose in diesem Fall lautete equine Piroplasmose, eine in Deutschland immer noch seltene Erkrankung.Aufgrund des schwankenden Ganges und des generalisierten Tremors wurde vor Erhalt der ersten Blutwerte trotz des bereits vorliegenden negativen PCR-Ergebnisses

Equine piroplasmosis (EP) is caused by Theileria (T.) equi and/or Babesia (B.) caballi. The aim was to assess the percentage of positive test results for EP in horses in Europe and to identify risk factors for pathogen contact/infection. This study included results from PCR and competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay testing requested by European veterinarians between 2008 and 2021. Binary bivariate logistic regression was used to analyze risk factors. A total of 4060 horses were included. PCR testing was positive in 9.7% (154/1589), serology for T. equi in 15.2% (393/2591) and for B. caballi in 6.8% (175/2578). The odds of positive serology increased by 6.8% (B. caballi, p = 0.008) and 9.5% (T. equi, p < 0.001) each year. Regionality had a statistically significant impact on PCR (Eastern p = 0.047/OR = 1.605; Southern p = 0.029/OR = 1.451; Central p = 0.007/OR = 0.617) and serological testing for T. equi (Southern p < 0.001/OR = 2.521; Central p < 0.001/OR = 0.537; Northern p = 0.003/OR = 0.462), as well as breeds on seroprevalence of B. caballi (heavy horses: p = 0.016/OR = 2.239) and T. equi (ponies: p = 0.007/OR = 0.340; warmbloods: p = 0.025/OR = 1.602). In conclusion, there was a significant geographical impact on the results of PCR and serology, consistent with known vector habitats. The rising numbers of horses tested serologically positive highlights the importance of surveillance.

There is now considerable evidence that in Europe, babesiosis is an emerging infectious disease, with some of the causative species spreading as a consequence of the increasing range of their tick vector hosts. In this review, we summarize both the historic records and recent findings on the occurrence and incidence of babesiosis in 20 European countries located in southeastern Europe (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Serbia), central Europe (Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Switzerland), and northern and northeastern Europe (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Iceland, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, and Norway), identified in humans and selected species of domesticated animals (cats, dogs, horses, and cattle). Recorded cases of human babesiosis are still rare, but their number is expected to rise in the coming years. This is because of the widespread and longer seasonal activity of Ixodes ricinus as a result of climate change and because of the more extensive use of better molecular diagnostic methods. Bovine babesiosis has a re-emerging potential because of the likely loss of herd immunity, while canine babesiosis is rapidly expanding in central and northeastern Europe, its occurrence correlating with the rapid, successful expansion of the ornate dog tick (Dermacentor reticulatus) populations in Europe. Taken together, our analysis of the available reports shows clear evidence of an increasing annual incidence of babesiosis across Europe in both humans and animals that is changing in line with similar increases in the incidence of other tick-borne diseases. This situation is of major concern, and we recommend more extensive and frequent, standardized monitoring using a “One Health” approach.
