3-in-1 Horse Tick Disease Test

About the 3-in-1 Horse Tick Disease Test

GetTested’s 3-in-1 Horse Tick Disease Test detects antibodies against three common tick-borne infections in horses – Lyme disease (Borrelia), Ehrlichia, and Anaplasma. These diseases are transmitted by ticks and can affect the horse’s blood, joints, and nervous system. Early diagnosis is crucial to avoid long-term complications and ensure optimal health and performance.

Why test for tick-borne diseases?

Tick-borne diseases can remain unnoticed for weeks or even months before symptoms appear. Once established, they can cause chronic inflammation, weakness, and impaired performance. Testing regularly helps identify infections early so that your veterinarian can initiate appropriate treatment if needed.

Symptoms to watch for

Be alert to these signs of possible infection:
• Fever or swollen lymph nodes
• Fatigue or stiffness
• Weight loss or reduced appetite
• Decreased performance or reluctance to move

Even mild or intermittent symptoms may indicate an underlying tick-borne disease.

How the test works

A small blood sample is mixed with the provided buffer and applied to the test cassette. The result window will show if antibodies to any of the three infections are present. The test provides a clear result within 5–10 minutes and requires no laboratory equipment.
