| equine piroplasmoses at the reintroduction site of the przewalski's horse (equus ferus przewalskii) in mongolia. | piroplasmosis has been identified as a possible cause of mortality in reintroduced przewalski's horses (equus ferus przewalskii) in the dsungarian gobi (mongolia). a cross-sectional and a longitudinal study were conducted in a representative sample (n = 141) of the resident domestic horse population and in 23 przewalski's horses to assess the prevalence of theileria equi and babesia caballi. piroplasms were detected in blood by light microscopy in 6.7% (95% confidence interval [ci]: 3.6-12.2%) o ... | 2006 | 17092882 |
| pathologic findings in reintroduced przewalski's horses (equus caballus przewalskii) in southwestern mongolia. | the przewalski's horse (equus caballus przewalskii) was extinct in the wild by the mid 1960s. the species has survived because of captive breeding only. the takhin tal reintroduction project is run by the international takhi group; it is one of two projects reintroducing horses to the wild in mongolia. in 1997 the first harem group was released. the first foals were successfully raised in the wild in 1999. currently, 63 przewalski's horses live in takhin tal. little information exists on causes ... | 2005 | 17323569 |
| a survey for piroplasmids in horses and bactrian camels in north-eastern mongolia. | equine piroplasmosis caused by babesia caballi and theileria equi is widespread in asia. the presence of these haemozoans in mongolia was previously confirmed in domestic as well as in reintroduced przewalski horses in which they cause significant pathology. the data on occurrence of piroplasms from bactrian camels in asia is lacking. a total of 192 horses, 70 bactrian camels, and additional 16 shepherd dogs from the hentiy province were included in our study. no clinical signs typical for pirop ... | 2011 | 21402446 |
| problems in the protection of reintroduced przewalski's horses (equus ferus przewalskii) caused by piroplasmosis. | the objectives of our research on equine piroplasmosis were to clarify the prevalence of the piroplasms babesia caballi and theileria equi among reintroduced przewalski's horses (takhi, equus ferus przewalskii) in comparison with horses (equus caballus) of nomads from around hustai national park in mongolia and to determine the mortality among takhi during 2012 to 2015. the prevalence of t. equi was high in 2014 at 80% among nomadic horses and 84% among takhi. we found no evidence of b. caballi ... | 2017 | 28700320 |
