disease that affects all equine, in- cluding horses, ponies, donkeys, mules and zebras. Piro can be trans- mitted from a positive horse to a negative horse by blood transfer from dirty instruments or insect carriers, such as ticks. Piro is not transmissible to humans. Through research, a treatment protocol was developed that clears the infection and can lead to the release of horses that eventually test negative. “Piro can be spread by way of
ticks,” reiterated Dr. Dee Ellis, state veterinarian. “South Texas has a high population of this parasite. It is common practice for horses in this South Texas area to be used on local ranches and/or in weekend events such as rodeos, roping, trail rides, etc. “Ticks can spread piro through
this very movement of horses,” Ellis cautioned. “The TAHC is asking for the support of equine owners and veterinarians to make this testing effort a success and help assure the health of the equine population.” For more information, Kleberg
County equine owners and/or veter- inary practitioners who have ques- tions may contact TAHC’s Region 5 offi ce, 361-358-3234.
