Blood Biochemical Study in Trypanosomiasis Infected Camel (Camelus dromedarius)

Anil Moolchandani and Menaxi Sareen

Blood samples of six healthy and six Trypanosomiasis infected camels (Camelus dromedarious) were collected and further analysed for plasma glucose, total protein, albumin, urea and bilirubin. Mean plasma glucose, total protein, and albumin were found to be significantly (P<0.05) check this < or < equal to decreased by 5.87%, 6.66% and 6.80%, in infected animals, respectively. Urea and bilirubin did not reveal any significant variations. Decreased plasma glucose, total protein and albumin levels are suggestive of hypoglycemia, hypoproteinemia and hypoalbuminemia, during the course of parasitemia.
