Abstract
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was developed to measure naturally occurring C. equi specific antibody in horse serum. Antibody against C. equi was demonstrated in normal adults and was passively transferred to foals. Adult levels of specific antibody were reached by 5-6 mo. of age in healthy foals. Decreased early antibody levels were demonstrated in a limited number of foals with confirmed C. equi infection.
