Abstract:
The present study was carried out on blood samples of 33 acutely infected cattle with theileriosis collected from four different agroclimatic zones of Bihar. These samples were screened out based on clinical signs and symptoms, presence or history of tick infestation and found positive under microscopic examination as well as through PCR. The sample were processed and analyzed. Hematological parameter under study comprises Hemoglobin percent (Hb%), Total Erythrocyte Count (TEC), Platelets count, Total Leucocytes Count (TLC), Differential Leucocytes Count (DLC) Biochemical profiles was Total plasma protein (TPP), Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) and Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α). Marked fall in Hb% (p-value: <0.001), Erythrocyte Count (p-Value: <0.001), WBC count (p-value: <0.001) and platelets (p-value: <0.001) were noticed. In Differential leucocytes count, significant decline in lymphocytes (p-value: <0.00001), neutrophil (p-value: <0.00001), Eosinophils (p-value: <0.00001) were found without any noticeable change in monocytes (p-value: 0.268) and Basophil counts (p-value: 0.951). Significant rise in Serum ALT/SGPT (p-value <0.001), AST/SGOT (p-value: <0.001) and TNF-α (p-value: 0.001) were found whereas marked decrease in Total Plasma Protein (TPP) (p-value: <0.001) was noticed.
