IDENTIFICATION OF THEILERIA EQUI IN HORSE BLOOD IN THE IRKUTSK REGION

This paper describes the detection of Piroplasmida DNA in the blood of horses. 166 blood samples of horses from five districts of the Irkutsk region were studied. The high piroplasms infection rate in horses (69 %) was found. For six positive samples nucleotide sequences were determined. The compari...

Description
Résumé:This paper describes the detection of Piroplasmida DNA in the blood of horses. 166 blood samples of horses from five districts of the Irkutsk region were studied. The high piroplasms infection rate in horses (69 %) was found. For six positive samples nucleotide sequences were determined. The comparison of determined 18S rRNA gene sequences with previously published sequences showed that all revealed piroplasms DNA samples are Theileria equi. The data are presented on the lethal cases of equine piroplasmosis in the Irkutsk region in 2008.
