Equine piroplasmosis, caused by Theileria equi and Babesia caballi are exotic to New Zealand. When importing horses from an equine piroplasmosis infected country, additional to the two serological tests recommended in the Terrestrial Animal Health Code, a PCR assay must also be carried out (with negative results shown). Both parasites can be detected in one generic PCR test.
