  • Title: Evaluation of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays with recombinant antigens for the serodiagnosis of equine Babesia infections.
    Author: Huang X, Xuan X, Yokoyama N, Katayama Y, Anzai T, Igarashi I.
    Journal: Vet Parasitol; 2006 Aug 31; 140(1-2):158-61. PubMed ID: 16621293.
    Abstract:
    Two enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) with recombinant protein as antigens were evaluated by comparison with the indirect fluorescent antibody tests (IFAT) for the detection of specific antibodies to Babesia caballi and Babesia equi, respectively in 380 sera from experimentally infected, uninfected, and field horses. The high concordances of 92.4% (351/380) and 98.2% (373/380) between ELISA and IFAT for B. caballi and B. equi, respectively suggest that ELISA, especially for B. equi infection, could be alternative to the corresponding IFAT for serodiagnoses of equine piroplasmosis, although some improvements are required in ELISA for B. caballi.
