==Clinical signs==
Clinical signs are generally dependent on the causative parasite. Infection with ''B. caballi'' tends to result in a milder form of disease that is often clincally inapparent whereas ''T. equi'' results in a more serious disease. The clincal presentation of the disease is variable and dependent on the immunological status of the affected animal. In rare cases, the presentation may be acute with animals found dead within 24-48 hours of the onset of clinical signs.

Clinical signs are generally dependent on the causative parasite. Infection with ''B. caballi'' tends to result in a milder form of disease that is often clincally inapparent whereas ''T. equi'' results in a more serious disease. The clincal presentation of the disease is variable and dependent on the immunological status of the affected animal. In rare cases, the presentation may be peracute with animals found dead within 24-48 hours of the onset of clinical signs. More often cases occur acutely with clinical signs including depression, pyrexia, inappetance, icterus, haemoglobinuria, conjunctival petechial haemorrhages amd anaemia.
