These symptoms were seen over some months, with changing severity. The animal was immobilised, treated, and blood specimens were submitted for haematology and biochemistry. This report describes molecular characterisation of Theileria equi recovered from this animal, as well as the clinical findings, treatment and historical relevance of piroplasmosis in zebra in southern Africa.enSouth African Veterinary AssociationBurchell's zebraEquus quagga burchelliPiroplasmosisTheileria equiBabesiosisMountain zebraTick-borne diseases in animalsArticle
