When to Choose Each Test

Choosing the right test for Equine Piroplasmosis depends on the stage of infection and the specific diagnostic needs. The table below provides guidance on when to use each test or bundle.

Test	Detection	Best For
cELISA Test	Detects antibodies (IgG) 21 days post-exposure	Chronic or inapparent infections, routine screening, international trade compliance
iFAT Test	Detects antibodies	Additional confirmation of antibody presence
qPCR Test	Detects pathogen DNA	Early infection, acute infection, febrile horses
cELISA + iFAT Bundle	Comprehensive antibody detection	Thorough screening for international trade and chronic infection
cELISA + qPCR Bundle	Antibody and pathogen DNA detection	Combination of chronic and early infection detection
cELISA + iFAT + qPCR Bundle	Complete diagnostic coverage	Ensuring detection at all stages of infection, comprehensive health management

FAQs

View FAQs

How do the cELISA, iFAT, and qPCR tests work? The cELISA and iFAT tests detect antibodies to Babesia caballi and Theileria equi, while the qPCR test detects the DNA of these pathogens, providing a comprehensive diagnostic approach.
What types of samples are required for the tests?
Each test requires specific sample types for accurate results:
- cELISA Test: 5 mL of blood, serum, or plasma collected in a dry or EDTA tube.
- iFAT Test: 5 mL of blood, serum, or plasma collected in a dry or EDTA tube.
- qPCR Test: 5 mL of blood collected in a K3 EDTA tube.
How long does it take to get the test results? The turnaround time varies depending on the processing option chosen. Standard processing takes 2-5 working days, while premium processing provides results within 0-1 day after sample receipt.
What should be done if a horse tests positive for Piroplasmosis? Horses that test positive should be isolated to prevent the spread of the disease. Follow biosecurity measures and consult with a veterinarian for appropriate treatment and management.
How can Piroplasmosis be prevented? Prevention involves testing and controlling tick exposure, using repellents, acaricides, and regular inspections, controlling and eradicating the tick vector, and quarantining EP-positive animals.
