Evaluation of real‐time polymerase chain reaction for the diagnosis of protozoal myeloencephalitis in horses using cerebrospinal fluid

Abstract Background Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) caused by Sarcocystis neurona remains an antemortem diagnostic challenge in some horses. Recent work suggested the use of real‐time PCR (rtPCR) on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) as a promising diagnostic tool. Objective To evaluate the sensitiv...
