Results of cytologic analysis of the preexperiment CSF sample, including SAG-1 titer, are shown. Results presented include infection status, color, transparency, white blood cell (WBC) and red blood cell (RBC) count, glucose, protein, and SnSAG titer. Horse 2 received a dose of the parasite in error and was excluded from statistical analysis.
