Haematological and parasitological studies on West African Dwarf (WAD) bucks experimentally infected with Trypanosoma vivax and Trypanosoma brucei and response to treatment with diaminazene aceturate:- Amajoronwu, Peace A.
ABSTRACT
This study investigated the haematological
changes in West African Dwarf (WAD) bucks experimentally infected with
Trypanosoma uivax and Trypanosoma brucei, each of the Trypanosoma brucei and
Trypanosoma uivax groups were eight in number while the control experimental
group had five. The clinical records (weight, rectal temperature) for the
animals were monitored. The haematological parameters accessed include Packed
Cell Volume (PCV), estimation of Haemoglobin (Hb), White and Red Blood Cell
count (WBC and RBC), Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), Mean Corpuscular
Haemoglobin (MCH), Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concemtration (MCHC), were
calculated. The WAD bucks in Group A, B, and C in the pre infective, infective
and treatment stage in the course of this experiment ranged for Hb
(9.12-7.66,8.6-6.5, 9.3-8.0) in the pre infective stage (8.60-6.44,7.6-4.3,8.5-7.5)
in the infective stage and (9.0-8.3, 8.0-5.5,10.2-7.4) in the treatment stage
for group C,A, and B respectively. All other parameters monitored are given
appropriately. The etiology of the infection for Trypanosoma uivax and
Trypanosoma brucei was acute and chronic respectively.The infection was more
severe in Trypanosoma uivax than in Trypanosoma brucei. Knowing that the WAD
bucks are trypanotolerant however, the effect of the parasite on the
haematological features have been elucidated thus in cases where the animals
are infected adequate dietary measures need be taken to ensure productivity is
not hindered.
