The presence of antibodies to \n B. caballi<\/jats:italic>\n was screened with a competitive ELISA. All 29 positive samples came from one region (the Hortob\u00e1gy). The prevalence of infection did not show correlation with sexes, and reached 100% in the age group of 2\u20135 years. \n Babesia canis<\/jats:italic>\n -specific antibodies were demonstrated by IFAT in 6.74% of animals kept in 7 regions. The titres were low or medium level (1:40 to 1:160), indicating that the horses had previously been exposed to this piroplasm, but their infection must have been limited. The highest seropositivity rate was observed in the age group of 3\u20134 years, and males (stallions and geldings) were significantly more frequently infected than females. However, neither \n B. caballi<\/jats:italic>\n nor \n B. canis<\/jats:italic>\n could be identified in the peripheral blood samples of infected horses by PCR. Since most of the \n B. caballi<\/jats:italic>\n -positive horses remained negative in the \n B. canis<\/jats:italic>\n IFAT, whereas seroconversion solely to \n B. canis<\/jats:italic>\n was detected in several regions of the country, serological cross-reaction between the two species can be discounted. This is the first serological evidence of horses being naturally infected with \n B. canis<\/jats:italic>\n , supporting the view that piroplasms are less host specific than previously thought.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1556\/avet.55.2007.4.8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,11,13]],"date-time":"2007-11-13T21:39:58Z","timestamp":1194989998000},"page":"491-500","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Serological evidence for Babesia canis infection of horses and an endemic focus of B. caballi in Hungary"],"prefix":"10.1556","volume":"55","author":[{"given":"S.","family":"Hornok","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Szent Istv\u00e1n University Department of Parasitology and Zoology, Faculty of Veterinary Science H-1078 Budapest Istv\u00e1n u. 2 Hungary"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Renate","family":"Edelhofer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2 University of Veterinary Medicine Department of Pathobiology, Institute of Parasitology and Zoology Vienna Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G.","family":"F\u00f6ldv\u00e1ri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Szent Istv\u00e1n University Department of Parasitology and Zoology, Faculty of Veterinary Science H-1078 Budapest Istv\u00e1n u. 2 Hungary"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anja","family":"Joachim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2 University of Veterinary Medicine Department of Pathobiology, Institute of Parasitology and Zoology Vienna Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Farkas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Szent Istv\u00e1n University Department of Parasitology and Zoology, Faculty of Veterinary Science H-1078 Budapest Istv\u00e1n u. 2 Hungary"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"425","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"67","DOI":"10.1016\/0014-4894(75)90053-3","article-title":"Experimental acute Babesia caballi infections I.
