Alterations in haematological and biochemical parameters in morkaraman sheep with natural psoroptes ovis infestation

Bu çalışma Psoroptes ovis ile doğal olarak enfeste morkaraman koyunlarda bazı hematolojik ve biyokimyasal parametrelerdeki olası değişiklikleri saptamak amacıyla yapıldı. Bu amaçla P. ovis ile doğal olarak enfeste 22 koyun ve klinik olarak sağlıklı 10 koyun (kontrol) kullanıldı. Psoroptes ovis ile enfeste koyunlarda, kontrol grubuna göre serum total protein ve globulin değerleri önemli derecede yüksek bulunurken, serum albumin konsantrasyonu önemli derecede düşüktü. Psoroptes ovis ile enfeste koyunlarda kontrol grubuna göre, önemli derecede düşük hemoglobin konsantrasyonu, düşük total lökosit (WBC), eritrosit (RBC), lenfosit, nötrofil ve monosit değerleri saptandı. Kontrol grubuna göre, Psoroptes ovis ile enfeste koyunlarda euzinofil sayıları daha yüksek bulundu. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, psoroptik uyuzun Morkaraman koyunlarda total serum protein ve globulin konsantrasyonunda artış, albumin konsantrasyonunda azalış ile kanda WBC, RBC, nötrofil ve lenfosit sayılarında azalma, hemoglobin konsantrasyonunda azalma, euzinofil sayısında artışa neden olduğunu göstermektedir.

Morkaraman koyunlarda doğal psoroptes ovis enfestasyonunda hematolojik ve biyokimyasal değişiklikler

This study was carried out to determine possible alterations in some haematological and biochemical parameters in Morkaraman sheep naturally infested with Psoroptes ovis. For this purpose 22 sheep infested naturally with P. ovis and 10 clinically healthy sheep (control) were used. Serum total protein and globulin values were found to be high in sheep with Psoroptes ovis compared to control group while serum albumin value was low. Low blood haemoglobin concentration, low blood total Leukocyte (WBC), erythrocyte (RBC), lymphocyte, neutrophyle and monocyte and high eosinophil numbers were detected in sheep infested with Psoroptes ovis compared to control group. The results of this study, therefore, show that Psoroptic mange causes decrease in serum total albumin, increase in protein and globulin concentrations and decrease in total RBC, WBC, neutrophile numbers, increase in eusinophile numbers, decrease in haemoglobin concentration in Morkaraman sheep.
