Abstract
The present study was undertaken to find out the effect of pure Peremphistomuncervi infection on biochemical, haematological, histopathological and histochemical alterations in goats. An attempt was also made to find out the suitability of immuno-diagnosis and chemotherapeutic agents in the diagnosis and treatment of paramphistomiasiscervi, respectively.
BIOCHEMICAL STUDY.
During the present study, estimation of total serum protein indicated highly significant (at 1% leve decrease in total serum protein on 20th day post-infection whereas the decrease in total serum protein per cent was significant at 5% level on 40th day after the infection. However on 60th day the decrease in total serum protein was not significantly different from the control value.
HAEMATOLOGICAL STUDIES.
Hematological studies further revealed severe anemia from 10th day till 60th day post-infection. Both hemoglobin, packed cell volume per cent and total erythrocyte count showed significant to highly significant decrease after E. cervi infection in all experimental kids. On the other hand total leucocyte count was significantly elevated (PL 0.01).
