Detection of Antibodies to Babesia equi in Horses by a Latex Agglutination Test Using Recombinant EMA-1

Detection of Antibodies to Babesia equi in Horses by a Latex Agglutination Test Using Recombinant... A latex agglutination test (LAT) using recombinant equi merozoite antigen 1 (EMA-1) for the detection of antibodies to Babesia equi was developed. The LAT was able to differentiate very clearly between sera from B. equi -infected horses and sera from Babesia caballi -infected horses or from normal horses. The LAT results were identical to those of a previously developed enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. These results indicate that LAT using recombinant EMA-1 might be very useful as a routine screening method for the diagnosis of B. equi infection. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Clinical and Vaccine Immunology American Society For Microbiology
