- •
We analyze serologic data about B. caballi and T. equi infection in a 10-year period.
- •
We evaluate agreement between PCR and serologic tests.
- •
T. equi was most frequently observed, data confirmed by statistical analysis.
- •
Low prevalence of B. caballi could be due to efficacy of therapy extensively used in the past years.
- •
Overlapping of results positive to IFAT and PCR suggests to perform both tests.
