Molecular detection and genotyping of <i>Theileria</i> <i>equi</i> infection within the equine population in Giza, Egypt, using real-time PCR as compared with conventional detection methods.
It is highly recommended to incorporate PCR diagnostic assays alongside microscopic examination to evaluate the epidemiological status of equine piroplasmosis. Also, our study demonstrated that <i>T. equi</i> genotype A and genotype E are circulating among Egyptian horses.
