Immunological insights into the occurrence of Lawsonia intracellularis in horses from southern Brazil using flow cytometry
This study provided evidence that <i>L. intracellularis</i> infection is relatively common among horses in southern Brazil. FCAT was a sensitive and specific diagnostic tool for detecting anti-<i>L. intracellularis</i> antibodies in horses. The findings highlight the need for better diagnostic and preventive measures to control EPE in equine populations.
