Haemato Biochemical Parameters of Goats Experimentally Infected with Trichophyton Verrucosum
Journal Title: Medical Journal of Clinical Trials & Case Studies - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
This study was designed to investigate the ability of Nubian goat to acquire Trichophyton verrucosum infection. Twenty goats aged 9-12 months were used in this study. Sixteen goats have been successfully infected with the isolated Trichophyton verrucosum isolated from camels naturally infected with dermatophytosis and four goats were used as control. All infected goats showed similar lesions, which were characterized by circumscribed crusty hairless lesions. Haematologically there was significant difference in total white blood cell count in the infected goats; however, no significant alteration was seen in the packed cell volume, haemoglobin, red blood cells count, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular haemoglobin and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration. Biochemically, except uric acid, no significant alteration was observed in total serum protein, albumin, globulin, urea, creatinine, sodium and potassium.
