Abstract excerpt
Equine piroplasms in Greece were studied using the reverse line blot hybridization (RLB) assay. Three genotypes consisting of two Theileria (T. equi and T. equi-like) and one Babesia (B. caballi-like) were identified. Of 787 samples tested, 371 (47.14%) hybridised to catchall probe (probe specifically designed to capture any piroplasm species present in a sample), 346 (43.96%) to T. equi probe, 364 (46.25%) to T....
