Development and evaluation of specific polymerase chain reaction assays for detecting Theileria equi genotypes

Abstract Background Theileria equi causes equine piroplasmosis, an economically significant disease that affects horses and other equids worldwide. Based on 18S ribosomal RNA (18S rRNA sequences), T. equi can be classified into five genotypes: A, B, C, D, and E. These genotypes have implications for...
