“…This was associated with damage to host tissues as well as renal and hepatic malfunction (Abenga and Anosa 2005). Elevation in the BUN level in the present study is in consonance with the observation reported by Adejinmi and Akinboade (2000), Abenga et al (2002), Abenga and Anosa (2007). The elevated levels of ALT and AST enzymes are in agreement with earlier reports of Taiwo et al (2003), Adah et al(1992), Omotainse et al (1994) in various trypanosome-infected animals.…”

New Zealand white rabbits (N = 4) were challenged with the local strain of Trypanosoma evansi. Each rabbit was infected with 5 9 10 5 trypanosomes subcutaneously. The infection was characterized by intermittent pyrexia, undulating parasitaemia, anorexia and emaciation. The infected rabbits were examined daily for development of clinical signs and infection status by wet blood-films made from the ear veins. Thick and thin blood smears were also examined daily until the end of the experiment for description of blood cells. Differential leukocyte count (DLC) was also done. The parasite was observed in the blood during the acute phase only. Leukocytosis in the acute phase followed by leukopenia during the chronic phase was recognized. Haematological studies revealed reduced TEC, Hb and PCV. The main changes in the erythrocytes were macrocytes, hypochromic cells, Howell-Jolly bodies, target cells, stomatocytes and burr cells. Serum chemistry revealed hypoproteinemia, hypocholesterolaemia, hypoglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia, elevated creatinine, BUN, increased AST and ALT.

“…In support of this result [18] found that some parasitic infestation appear to have little, if any impacts on blood glucose level in human. The mean levels of urea in hydatid cyst patients before and after 15 days of surgical removal has been evaluated from healthy control but in normal levels as in healthy control, which means that the infection didn't affect the kidneys since most of patients had liver hydatid cyst, elevated serum urea has been associated with kidney diseases [19] .…”

Hydatid disease is a major public health and economic problem in Iraq causing morbidity and mortality, This study was done to illustrate some biochemical changes, hemoglobin, blood group and CRP in hydatid cyst patients before and after 15 days of surgery.Twenty patients with hydatid liver cyst infection were enrolled in this study consist of (15 male) and (5 female), Those patients were matched with twenty (14 male) and (6 female) apparently healthy subjects as controls, The results of the study were as the following Significantly high serum triglyceride and serum bilirubin levels were observed in patients with hydatid cyst before and after 15 days of surgical removal when compared with healthy controls And significantly high serum bilirubin level in hydatid cyst patients before surgery when compared with patients after 15 days of surgical removal of the cyst.Blood glucose, urea and hemoglobin level for both studied subjects were within normal range as in healthy controls. Group O was more frequently in hydatid cyst patients than non O group (A, B, AB), Elevated CRP in 14% of hydatid cyst patients before surgery when compared with healthy controls, while after 15 days of surgical removal the mean level of CRP was decreased to 4% .In conclusion all studied parameters may be helpful in following up the effectiveness of surgical treatment. Further investigation in this regard with a larger group of patients is recommended to explore the potential of these parameters compared to alternative measures in monitoring hydatidosis infection and surgical removal of hydatid cyst on hydatid cyst patients.

“…Globulin increase has been reported in trypanosome infected sheep (Taiwo et al, 2003) and monkey infected with T.b. gambiense (Abenga and Anosa, 2004). Hypoproteinaemia in mice infected with Trypanosoma brucei due to decrease in hepatic biosynthesis and progressive loss of albumin in urine has been reported (Agu and Egbuji, 2002).…”

Hematological and serum biochemical profiles of animals are reflections of physiological disposition to their health status and production potentials. Findings in experimental studies on trypanosomosis may not translate directly to the expected findings in natural infections because of the effect of some variables like species and infecting dose of the parasite, nutritional status of the animal, concurrent infections, and stage of the trypanosomosis at the time of presentation to the clinic. Trypanosoma brucei and T. congolense infections in dogs have grave prognosis especially if the cases are not detected at their early stages. Clinical presentation, survivability of dogs treated with Diminazene aceturate as well as haematological and serum biochemical aberrations caused by natural infections with different Trypanosoma species were investigated with the view to identifying a variable or factor that could be used for prognostic evaluation in the treated dogs. Telephone numbers of the clients for dogs diagnosed with and treated against natural trypanosomes infections were collected and used to monitor the therapeutic outcomes. The clinical signs observed suggestive of late stage trypanosomosis were matched with the revelations from the case history. Significant (p ≤ 0.05) reductions in PCV, HB, absolute neutrophil, and significant (p ≤ 0.05) increase in monocytes count, serum urea, and creatinine were recorded in trypanosome infected dogs. Inability of clients to note the early clinical signs of infections with trypanosomes could have contributed to the low survival rate of the trypanosome-infected dogs even when treated.
