RESUMO

Equine Piroplasmosis (EP) and Equine Granulocytic Anaplasmosis (EGA) are diseases that affect horses, transmitted by ixodid ticks, causing a nonspecific febrile syndrome. Equine Piroplasmosis is endemic in Brazil, and most horses are in enzootic stability. Serological and molecular studies carried out on horses in Brazil have shown the presence of Anaplasma phagocytophilum, however, the clinical relevance of this infection has not yet been established. The present study aims to evaluate the importance of Babesia caballi, Theileria equi, and A. phagocytophilum as etiological agents in horses with clinical manifestations suggestive of these diseases in the metropolitan mesoregion of Rio de Janeiro. A total of 45 animals with clinical signs were submitted to DNA extraction followed by qPCR test. Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Neorickettsia risticii and Theileria haneyi were not found in any of the horses with clinical signs, however 62.2% were infected with at least one agent of EP. Theileria equi was the most frequent etiologic agent (35.5%), followed by coinfection (15.5%) and B. caballi (11.2%). These results suggest that A. phagocytophilum has minor clinical importance in the region, while EP is frequently found in symptomatic horses, representing an important differential diagnosis in suspected cases.
