What is Equine Piroplasmosis? Equine Piroplasmosis (EP) is a blood-borne protozoal disease that affects horses, donkeys, mules, and zebras. EP is currently not considered endemic in Texas or the U.S.; however, isolated outbreaks of the disease have occurred in recent years. EP is not transmissible to humans. Signs and Symptoms Once infected, an equine can take 7 to 22 days to show signs of illness. Cases of EP can be mild or acute, depending on the virulence of the protozoa. Acutely affected equine can have fever, anemia, jaundiced mucous membranes, swollen abdomens, and labored breathing.
