seroprevalence of babesia equi among horses in israel using competitive inhibition elisa and ifa assays.	sera from 361 horses were tested by indirect immunofluorescence antibody test (ifa) and by competitive inhibition elisa (celisa), to detect antibodies to babesia equi. the concordance between the assays was 95.7%. application of a cutoff based on a calculated percent inhibition of < 20% gave a total of 22 discrepant results, while only 8 sera negative by the celisa were found positive by the ifa when a cutoff of > 20% inhibition was used. approximately one-third of all the horses tested were fou ...	1998	9650862
novel description of force of infection and risk factors associated with theileria equi in horses in israel and in the palestinian authority.	the objectives of this study were to determine the force of infection (foi) for theileria equi in horses in israel and to evaluate risk factors associated with seroprevalence a decade after it was last determined by pcr, in 2002. using a commercial celisa kit, we demonstrated a widespread and constant exposure to t. equi in israel (110/216; 50.9%) and the palestinian authority (32/108; 29.6%). owing to the paired samples collected from the same horses approximately one year apart, we were able t ...	2014	24703834
