The objective of this study was to obtain an estimate for seroprevalences of Theileria equi (Babesia equi) and Babesia caballi in horses from northeastern Mexico. Sera were collected in spring of 2007 in 248 clinically healthy horses used for different purposes. Antibodies were detected by the indirect immunofluorecent technique. The overall seroprevalence was 61.7% and those for T. equi and B. caballi were 45.2% and 27.4%, respectively. Horse purpose, sex, and age group were not associated with infection with Theileria equi or Babesia caballi.
本研究的目的是获得墨西哥东北部马匹中马泰勒虫（马巴贝斯虫）和驽巴贝斯虫血清阳性率的估计值。2007年春季，从248匹用于不同用途的临床健康马匹中采集血清。采用间接免疫荧光技术检测抗体。总体血清阳性率为61.7%，马泰勒虫和驽巴贝斯虫的血清阳性率分别为45.2%和27.4%。马匹的用途、性别和年龄组与感染马泰勒虫或驽巴贝斯虫无关。
