“…T urkey has about 31.507.934 sheep (Tuncer et al, 2017;Tuncer et al, 2018;Tuncer 2019) and is the 7 th greatest sheep raiser country in the world (Tuncer, 2019). F. hepatica is a severe disease causing significant economic losses in the countries across the world where sheep, goats, buffalo (Alvarez et al, 2009), and cattle are raised (Yang et al, 1998).…”

This study aims to determine the changes in serum homocysteine (Hcy) and nitric oxide (NO) concentrations in sheep naturally infected with F. hepatica. The animal material of the study consisted of a total of 50 sheep: 40 sheep with fascioliasis and 10 healthy sheep.The statistical analysis indicated that serum homocysteine concentrations, folate and vitamin B12 levels of the sheep infected with F. hepatica were higher than those of the control group (P<0.001 P<0.001 and P<0.05, respectively), whereas the nitric oxide levels of the sheep infected with F. hepatica were significantly lower than those of healthy sheep (P<0.001). In conclusion, it is thought that vitamin B12 and folate are not used sufficiently for the conversion of homocysteine to methionine in the remethylation cycle due to the damage in the liver tissue of sheep naturally infected with F. hepatica. This results in the increase of homocysteine which in turn inhibits the formation of nitric oxide.

The present study aimed to determine the changes in serum haptoglobin, serum amyloid A and fibrinogen levels in pathological disorders of sheep liver with Fasciola hepatica. Sixty sheep (50 with fascioliasis and 10 healthy) were used in the present study. Statistical analysis results demonstrated that SAA, Hp and fibrinogen concentration levels of the sheep infected with Fasciola hepatica were higher when compared to SAA, Hp and fibrinogen concentration levels in healthy sheep (P <0.05). While ALT, AST and GGT values of sheep infected with Fasciola hepatica were found to be higher than those of the healthy sheep, serum TP, ALB and glucose levels were lower. In statistical analysis, it was found that WBC, Neu and Eo values of sheep infected with Fasciola hepatica were higher when compared to WBC, Neu and Eo values in the control group. In conclusion, serum haptoglobin, serum amyloid A, and fibrinogen levels were significantly higher in sheep infected with Fasciola hepatica when compared to the healthy group. Due to the fact that increases in serum haptoglobin, serum amyloid A and fibrinogen levels in sheep with fasciolosis were similar to those observed in liver disorders, it was suggested that these parameters could be useful in determination of the liver damage levels and prognosis and in studies on liver disorders.
