Piroplasmosis

Equine Piroplasmosis is a blood-borne protozoal disease that can affect all equines, but is not transmissible to humans.

It can be transmitted from a positive horse to a negative horse by blood transfer from dirty instruments or by tick vectors.

There is clear evidence of increasing babesiosis infections among humans and animals across Europe, researchers say.
