Abstract
“Piroplasmosis,” or “biliary fever” in horses, has hitherto been regarded as a disease due to a distinctive parasite, Piroplasma equi Laveran. We propose to show that there are two specifically distinct parasites concerned in the production of biliary fever, and that consequently two distinct diseases have hitherto been confused under this name and under the name of piroplasmosis.Keywords
