Pathogenes Inc

Pathogenes Inc Pathogenes is a consulting company that conducts research on the diseases Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis and Polyneuritis equi. Pathogenes Inc.

We lead the PNE research field and are the best resource for veterinarians that want to understand and treat PNE. was founded in 1999 and is dedicated to the development of reagents to diagnose, treat, and prevent animal diseases. works with industry partners to facilitate development of their projects. Our ability to apply innovative techniques has helped produce novel products that benefit the animal health industry. We have active, collaborative partnerships with researchers in industry, universities, and individuals in the United States and Europe. We offer tech support to veterinarians that use our technology at our laboratory hotline. Pathogenes developed surface antigens from Sarcocystis neurona, for antibody detection in serum and CSF. We also created an equine animal model to advance the study of equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) in horses. A reliable animal model allowed us to recognize early signs of EPM facilitating the design of early treatment protocols. Our animal model is used by industry partners to determine pathogenesis of disease as well as treatment and vaccine efficacy in horses. Pathogenes recognized and developed novel tissue culture techniques that are used to create new parasite vaccines. We continue to develop protocols and products that facilitate the understanding and treatment of disease and license our technology to further the health and well-being of animals.

When you chose a lab test you are chosing more than you may think. You chose the science behind the testing. Todays entry from Natures Chamber of Secrets compares results from two studies and why we chose SAG 1, 5, 6 for testing.

Kazumi Davis wanted to be recognized. Kazumi is a Japanese name, typically gender-neutral, meaning "beautiful peace", "harmony", or "beauty", derived from combining kanji like kazu (和 - harmony/peace) and mi (美 - beauty). It embodies cultural values of serenity, balance, and aesthetic appeal, reflecting a wish for a calm, beautiful life and personality. His image says it all about this 6 year old mustang!

Ireland's Tail
Ireland was diagnosed with PNE in 2021, she couldn't p*e or p**p and needed help daily. She had a poor prognosis and it was recommended that she be put down. Her owner couldn't part with her. After 4 years of what can only be described as heroic care I'm excited to say four years after her date with death Ireland can p*e, p**p, and now can move her tail!

This is a key case showng that late stage polyneuritis is treatable!

Nature's Chamber of Secrets is a collection of real questions about neurodegenerative diseases caused by protozoan parasites that are answered by Science. The word Pathogenes simultaneously embodies the ephermeral spirit of sickness (pa-thaw-gen-knees) and the library of knowledge held in the pathogenic genes (Pathogenes).

Ask yor question and we will release the answer from the Chamber of Secrets.

Todays excerpt explains the steps to find a gene and develop a recombinant protein in the quest for the elusive EPM diagnositic test. It isn't without a fair number of personalities that impacted the project and ultimate cold shoulder from the EPM community due to intellecutal property.

New post on the Publications page. After reading it feel free to email any questions. It is from Chapter 29 of my soon to be available book that releases secrets from the EPM vault. Spoiler alert: this one is "science-y". If you can't understand it just go for the conclusion: "when quantifying IgG subtypes (antibody) from CSF and sera from infected diseased and infected normal horses there were insuffiecient differences for developing a serum-based immunoassay for EPM diagnosis."

Pathogenes.com is the official site for Pathogenes Inc. We are a consulting company with a mission to develop molecular tools for the diagnosis and treatment of animal diseases. We are not a diagnostic laboratory. A veterinarian is part of the consulting team and will get our recommendations.

85% of horses are seropositive on Sarcocystis neurona tests; 0.01% of those horses may have EPM, that is 1 in 10,000 horses. Horses trreated for EPM may have lingering signs that are due to polyneuritis. PNE is a rare disease. There are less than 50,000 horses in the US that have PNE.
