About
Dr. Hiroshi Imagawa has made significant contributions to veterinary diagnostics, particularly in the field of equine infectious disease surveillance. His key research areas include the development and field application of immunoassays for rapid, large-scale screening of equine infectious anemia (EIA). His most notable work, "Field Application of Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay for Screening of Equine Infectious Anemia" (1995), introduced an indirect ELISA targeting the p25 antigen, integrated with a robotic system for high-throughput testing. This innovation has been instrumental in the quarantine protocols for racehorses at Japan Racing Association facilities, ensuring the safety and health of equine populations. While his citation count (7) reflects the specialized, applied nature of his research, its real-world impact is profound—his system has been in continuous use for decades, directly influencing equine disease control and international horse trade. Dr. Imagawa’s work exemplifies how translational veterinary science can bridge laboratory innovation and practical field application, safeguarding animal welfare and supporting the racing industry.
