Theileria equi (a) and B. caballi (b) parasite loads in clinical (red) and subclinical (blue) horses, as determined by qPCR. For each parasite a standard curve (black line) was created using serial dilutions of a clean PCR product of each gene (gray marks). Parasite gene copy number from field samples was calculated from the quantification cycle (Cq) and the standard curve. A diagnostic cut-off distinguishing between clinical and subclinical cases of each parasite was determined by ROC analysis and the cut-off value is marked by a vertical dashed line
