Equine piroplasmosis is an acute, subacute or chronic tick-borne disease due to Babesia caballi and/or Theileria equi, affecting Equidae and causing economic losses horse breeders poor performances during tournaments. The objectives were fourfold: first determine the seroprevalence of in horses via cELISA, second establish haematological profile different Algerian areas through optical microsco...

this study evaluated the effects of 0.25% activated charcoal added to sesame seed meal (ssm) in partial replacement of soybean meal (sbm) of juvenile clarias gariepinus diet on growth and haematological parameters for 70 day experimental period. six experimental diets were formulated as: control diet 1 (100% ssm without activated charcoal), control diet 2 (100% ssm plus 0.25% activated charcoal...

This project determined the effect of Peste des petit ruminants (PPR) vaccine on the haematological indices of two breeds of goats (Sahel and West African Dwarf) and evaluated the effects of breed and sex on the haematological parameters. Haematological indices of the initial sample (comprising ten Sahel and ten WAD breeds) were evaluated prior to vaccination. Thirteen of the twenty goats were ...

Th is study examined downer dairy cows with concurrent fatty liver of diff erent degrees and evaluated the haematological values, the relationship and joint occurrence of fatty liver severity and haematology and compared the haematological values in the downer animals that fi nally died or cured. Blood and liver biopsy samples were obtained from 36 Holstein downer cows shortly aft er they becam...

Erythropoiesis is affected during deep saturation dives. The mechanism should be related to a downregulation of serum Erythropoietin (s-EPO) concentration or to a toxic effect of the hyperbaric hyperoxia. We evaluated s-EPO and other haematological parameters in 6 scuba divers before, during and after a 14-days guinness saturation dive (8-10 m). Athletes were breathing air at 1.8-2 ATA, under t...

OBJECTIVE To assess haematological and biochemical parameters in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) patients under going antiretroviral therapy. METHODS We enrolled HIV patients from, 18-65 years, who were under first line antiretroviral therapy and followed them for six months from February 2010 for changes in haematological and biochemical parameters. Profiles for ALAT, creatinine, amylase,...
