Seroprevalence of Anaplasma Phagocytophilum in horses in the Czech Republic
Original language description
Anaplasma phagocytophilum is the etiologic agent of equine granulocytic anaplasmosis (EGA). The aim of this survey was to assess a prevalence of anti-A. phagocytophilum antibodies in the horse population of the Czech Republic (CZ), and to investigate possible links between seropositivity and the geographic origin, age, and/or sex of the tested horses. The antibodies against A. phagocytophilum were screened using indirect fluorescence antibody method (IFA). Serum samples of 96 healthy horses from eight localities (seven within the CZ and one control upland/tick-free locality in Ukraine) were examined. While the controls tested negative, the seroprevalence at the Czech localities was estimated at 72.8 %, which suggests that subclinical EGA is common among the horses in the CZ. Significant differences between seropositivity rates in individual stables were demonstrated (explicable by the different environment and/or living style of the horses stabled therein).
