Equine piroplasmosis, an economically important disease of equids caused by the hemoprotozoan parasites Theileria equi, T. haneyi, and Babesia caballi, has a worldwide distribution. These parasites are transmitted by ixodid ticks. To improve the detection of horses in Nigeria exposed to piroplasm parasites, 72 horses with variable clinical signs of piroplasmosis were sampled from Northwest and Northcentral Nigeria and tested by nPCR and cELISA. Blood and serum samples were collected from each horse via jugular venesection. Individually, nPCR or cELISA failed to identify all horses exposed to piroplasms. A combination of species-specific nPCR and the OIE-approved T. equi and B. caballi cELISAs enhanced the detection of horses exposed to parasites. The results also demonstrated horses showing abnormal hematology were positive for only T. equi, except for one sample that was coinfected with T. equi and T. haneyi. We also identified ticks collected from some of the horses, with Rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi being the most prevalent. This study shows that a larger proportion of horses in the sample set were exposed to T. equi than B. caballi or T. haneyi. Additionally, ticks that have been previously reported as potential vectors for these parasites were found to have infested sampled horses. Further studies are needed to investigate which tick species are competent vectors for Theileria spp. and Babesia caballi in Nigeria.

Piroplazmoza je hemoprotozojska bolest široke geografske rasprostranjenosti i svjetskog značenja. U kopitara piroplazmozu prouzroče paraziti Theileria equi i Babesia caballi. Pojava piroplazmoze usko je vezana uz geografsku rasprostranjenost i sezonsku aktivnost vektora, krpelja šikare (fam. Ixodidae). Intrareritrocitne piroplazme T. equi i B. caballi prouzroče akutnu, supakutnu ili kroničnu bolest u kopitara, a mogu prouzročiti i neonatalnu piroplazmozu, a u kobila i pobačaj. Patogenost i klinička manifestacija nisu jednaki za oba uzročnika piroplazmoze konja, a njihove su razlike rezultat specifičnosti životnih ciklusa tih protozoa. Veliki broj konja ostaje supklinički invadirano s niskom parazitemijom i inaparentnom bolesti. Dijagnostika piroplazmoze konja se provodi izravnim (dokaz uzročnika) i neizravnim metodama (dokaz specifičnih protutijela). Diferencijalne dijagnoze piroplazmoze konja uključuju influencu, infekcioznu anemiju kopitara te anaplazmozu i boreliozu kao znatne krpeljima prenosive bolesti konja.
