Abstract
Aim:
The study was undertaken to compare the alterations in the
hematological parameters in buffaloes suffering from Amphistomosis
with normal buffaloes and to correlate it with the subclinical
infection that is hard to diagnose.
Materials and Methods: Blood samples from 50 amphistomes
infected as well as 50 non-infected buffaloes from slaughter
houses were taken into vacutainer tubes containing ethylene
diamine tetraacetic acid for estimation of various hematological
parameters by Automatic Analyzer Hema-2062 manufactured by
Analytical Technologies Ltd.
Result: There was a significant reduction in
the mean hemoglobin, total leukocyte count, total erythrocyte
count and packed cell volume and significant increase in the
neutrophils count and eosinophil count of infected buffaloes as
compared to the non-infected buffaloes respectively.
Conclusion: Amphistomosis is characterized by severe
neutrophilia, eosinophilia, and anemia. Anemia of high intensity
along with hepatic damage can lead to the death of the animal in
severe cases. Alterations in the Hematological parameters can be
used as an indicator to diagnose and check the severity of
amphistomosis especially in young ones and in subclinical
infection.
Keywords: amphistomosis, hematology,
eosinophilia, anemia, neutrophilia.
