Abstract

Nazifi, S., Razavi, S.M. and Esmailnejad, Z. 2009. Evaluation of serum proteins in cows naturally infected with Theileria annulata. J. Appl. Anim. Res., 36: 81–83. Blood samples were collected from jugular vein of 8 healthy and 33 naturally infected cows with Theileria annulata. In infected cows marked anemia was noticed. An increase in α1- and β globulin and a decrease in serum total protein and γ-globulin concentrations were observed (P<0.05) in infected cows. It is concluded that bovine tropical theileriosis induces inflammatory reactions leading to hypoproteinemia and immunosuppresion.
