Abstract: Equine piroplasmosis is a hemoprotozoan tick-borne disease with
worldwide distribution, caused by Babesia caballi and Theileria
equi . The aim of this study was to investigate the seroprevalence
of B. caballi infection in horses from the North Khorasan Province
of Iran. Association between seropositivity of piroplasm infection
and host-related factors including age, gender and activity were
also analyzed. Blood samples were collected from 194 apparently
healthy horses from May 2011 to August 2012. Blood smears were
prepared and stained by Giemsa method and the serum samples
were tested by indirect immunofluorescent antibody test (IFAT).
B. caballi was not detected in the blood smears but antibodies
against B. caballi were found in 8 (4.12%) samples. No significant
difference was obsereved between piroplasm infection with hostrelated
factors in horses
