evidence for bovine besnoitiosis in egypt-first serosurvey of besnoitia besnoiti in cattle and water buffalo (bubalus bubalis) in egypt.	the present study evaluated the presence of specific antibodies against besnoitia besnoiti in cattle and water buffalo (bubalus bubalis) in egypt. sera from cattle (n = 216) and water buffaloes (n = 133) collected from five different provinces of egypt (behera, alexandria, assuit, gharbia, and matrouh) were analyzed. testing for b. besnoiti antibodies by priocheck® besnoitia ab 2.0 elisa initially identified 13.75 % (48 out of 349) of individual sera as positive at the manufacturer's suggested c ...	2014	24375275
prevalence and molecular characterization of sarcocystis species in water buffaloes (bubalus bubalus) in egypt.	the present study was planned to investigate the prevalence of sarcocystis spp. among slaughtered water buffaloes (bubalus bubalis) at alexandria province, egypt. three hundred blood samples were collected from slaughtered buffaloes (5-7 years old). two techniques were used to evaluate the seroprevalence of sarcocystis spp., enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) and indirect haemagglutination assay (iha). it was revealed that 203 (67.6 %) and 191 (63.6 %) of the tested serum samples were ser ...	2014	24619513
