| studies on naturally-occurring ovine fascioliasis in the sudan. | haematological, biochemical and pathological changes were investigated in 214 sheep naturally infected with fasciola gigantica in an endemic area in the sudan together with 82 uninfected controls. infected animals showed a clear decrease in erythrocyte counts, haemoglobin concentration and packed cell volume, a normochromic, normocytic anaemia, leucocytosis and eosinophilia. serum concentrations of the enzymes glutamate dehydrogenase, sorbitol dehydrogenase and glutamate oxaloacetic acid transam ... | 1986 | 3701020 |
| studies on heterologous resistance between schistosoma bovis and fasciola gigantica in sudanese cattle. | using the local strains of schistosoma bovis and fasciola gigantica, it was shown that sudanese zebu calves with mature primary infections of f. gigantica were highly resistant to challenge with s. bovis cercariae, and vice versa. liver enzyme tests showed that, in both cases, the primary infections had caused some liver damage. primary infection with irradiated s. bovis cercariae, which did not cause significant liver damage, did not protect significantly against challenge with f. gigantica. | 1986 | 3701021 |
