Equine babesiosis: A disease linked to the extensive horse raising in the pasture land of Extremadura ('dehesa')

Coleto L.

Serologic testing was carried out to show antibodies to babesia equi and babesia caballi in mares raised in extensive regime in the 'dehesa' of Extremadura, their transmission to the mares' offspring and their permanence in the foals. We have studied 33 Andalusian mare and foal serums. The technique used has been that of indirect immunofluorescence (IFI). The result is 63.6 per cent of the mares and 54.5 per cent of the foals seropositive to B. equi. All serums were negative to B. caballi.
