1995年9月至11月期间，在北方和东开普省的科莱斯贝格、文特斯塔德和沃德豪斯的马格德堡地区采集了一岁纯种马（n = 176）的血清样本，以确定这些地区马巴伯菌和卡巴利巴伯菌抗体的流行率。使用间接荧光抗体试验检查样品的特异性抗体。3个地区合并的血清抗体流行率的95%置信区间为B从47%到61%不等。B为26%~ 40%。卡巴利。抗体流行率与已知的蜱虫载体（外翻扇头蜱和截形璃眼蜱）的分布不相关。小马的抗B抗体患病率显著较高。而不是小母马。对于B，无法确定此类差异。等。
Serum samples from yearling Thoroughbred horses (n = 176) in the magisterial districts of Colesberg, Venterstad, and Wodehouse in the Northern and Eastern Cape Provinces were collected between September and November 1995 to determine the prevalence of antibodies to Babesia equi and Babesia caballi in these regions. Samples were examined for specific antibodies using the indirect fluorescent antibody test. The 95% confidence intervals for the prevalence of serum antibodies in the 3 districts combined varied from 47% to 61% for B. equi and from 26% to 40% for B. caballi. Antibody prevalence did not correlate with the known distributions of the tick vectors (Rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi and Hyalomma truncatum). Colts had a significantly higher prevalence of antibodies against B. caballi than fillies. No such difference could be determined for B. equi.
