Chlorpyrifos is an organophosphorous insecticide widely used in agriculture and domestic activities. However, little is known about the effect of this pesticide on the immune system of fish and other alterations of its physiological system. The aims of the present study were the evaluation of the LC(50) (lethal concentration(50)) and the potential toxicity of this substance on Nile tilapia (Ore...

The Fisher Hem-Alyzer is a multitest sequential discrete analyser with automatic printout of digitized results on paper tape. The instrument is well designed, soundly constructed, and reliable in routine use. Cross contamination from the sampler probe or between the cuvettes is minimal. Accuracy and precision are both highly satisfactory. Although the standard rate of throughput is 32 specimens...

Haematological, hepatic and oxidative stress parameters in juvenile Clarias gariepinus exposed to a combined ternary mixture of naphthalene, phenanthrene benzo[a]pyrene were investigated under static-renewal bioassay conditions. The test organisms two levels treatments the mixed compounds for period 35 days. Red blood cell (RBC) count, haemoglobin (Hb) concentration haematocrit (Hct) significan...

Eimeria türlerinin neden olduğu koksidiyoziste kuzu ve oğlaklarda diyareye olan etkenlerden biridir. Kuzu oğlaklarında akut koksidiyozis tedavisinde toltrazuril’in oldukça etkili bilinse de canlıda nasıl etkiler oluşturduğu ile ilgili bilgiler sınırlıdır. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada Honamlı ırkı oğlakların doğal koksidiyozisinin toltrazuril uygulamasının hayvanda etkiler, serum oksidatif stres düze...

Hematology is an important pathological and diagnostic tool. This paper describes the hematological parameters of 76 specimens of Hoplias malabaricus infested with monogenean parasites, which were collected from two lagoons. The hematological parameters included: erythrocyte count (Er), microhematocrit (Hct), hemoglobin (Hb), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) and ...

The study measured haematological and cytogentic parameters in workers occupationally exposed to cement dust in order to test the hypothesis that cement dust exposure may perturb these functions. Assessments of haematological, and cytogentic were performed in 30 workers occupationally exposed to cement dust and 30 matched unexposed controls. The RBC level has no significant change and WBC level...

To detect iron deficiency, Hb concentration, RBC count, PCV, MCV, MCHC, red cell morphology, serum iron and serum ferritin concentrations were measured in 80 pregnant women. Half of these women were with and the other half without iron supplementation. Fifty percent of the unsupplemented group had anaemia (Hb < 1 ig/dI) and 65% deficient iron stores (serum ferritin< 12ng/ml). Ten percent of the...
