| Abstract | ||||
| The high incidence of latent B. equi infection in Egyptian equines was high and cons titute resp < /strong>ectively 46.29% and 51.44% of examined horses and donkeys. The haematole gical examination showed severe to slight leukocytosis with eosinophilia. In some individuals lymphocytes, neutrophils or monocytes were reacted against B. egut intent ion. A percentage of 59.2 of app < /strong>arently healthy Babesia non-infected equines revealed some morphological changes in their circulating blood. The deviation from normal values was related mainly to the leukocytes either in their total count or in the ratio. The haematological values obtained were discussed. | ||||
