Specificity And Sensitivity

A crude antigenic preparation of Babesia equi was used to develop and establish the suitability of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of parasite carriers. Optimal dilutions of the antigen, using positive and negative reference sera, were determined by checkboard titrations. The specificity and sensitivity of the ELISA were 100 %. A total of 90 serum samples were taken from horses from the Northeast region of São Paulo State and examined for diagnosis of equine B. equi infection by ELISA. Approximately 75% (n=67) of all the horses tested were found serologically positive for B. equi. These results suggest that the ELISA described may prove to be an appropriate serological test for epidemiological studies on B. equi infections in the field and that equine piroplasmosis is a cause for serious concern in the State of São Paulo, Brazil.

No presente estudo são relatadas alterações hematológicas e sorológicas apresentadas por eqüinos, infectados experimentalmente com B. equi, em diferentes estágios da infecção e após esterilização química do parasito. Dez eqüinos, clinicamente sadios e sorologicamente negativos para Babesia spp, foram inoculados com B. equi e tratados com drogas babesicidas durante o pico de parasitemia. Após o tratamento os animais foram divididos em dois grupos: portadores, que desenvolveram a fase crônica da enfermidade e esterilizados, nos quais o parasito foi eliminado. Durante todo o experimento o hematócrito, a parasitemia e o título de anticorpos foram acompanhados, de forma a caracterizar sua dinâmica na fase aguda e na fase crônica da enfermidade, assim como após a eliminação do parasito.
