Rapid Detection of Equine Piroplasms Using Multiplex PCR and First Genetic Characterization of <i>Theileria haneyi</i> in Egypt

Equine Piroplasmosis (EP) is an infectious disease caused by the hemoprotozoan parasites <i>Theileria equi</i>, <i>Babesia caballi</i>, and the recently identified species <i>T. haneyi</i>. Hereby, we used a multiplex PCR (mPCR) targeting the 18S rRNA gene of <...
