Haematological changes due to bovine fascioliasis

Abstract: This study determined the haematological changes due to the infection of fascioliasis in cattle. The haematological indices of blood samples collected from purposely selected Fasciola-infected and noninfected cattle were analyzed using standard methods. Statistical analysis revealed high significant differences between the packed cell volume (PCV), haemoglobin (Hb) and red blood cells (

“…The finding is in line with the result of Pandya et al, (2015) who recorded microcytic and hypochromic anemia in Fasciola infected animals. However, the current result contrasts with the study conducted by Egbu et al (2013) who reported high level of MCV, MCH and MCHC in the infected group. The variation could be due to ecological and nutritional differences that greatly affect the hematological profiles.…”

“…The eosinophilia observed in the present study supported by various researchers Egbu et al (2013); Pandya et al (2015) and Matanovic et al (2007) who had similar observation. The elevation of eosinophils is an indication of body defense mechanism against parasitic infection (Duffus et al, 1980).…”

“…The present findings of MCV and MCH were supported by previous studies in goats infected with parasites [ 15 ]. However, in contrast with the present study, MCV appeared to slightly increase with increase in worm load in cattle affected by fascioliasis [ 21 ]. Abdel Hameed et al .…”

“…These results were consistent with those obtained in sheep 22 and bovine. 2 The changes in the differential counts may be a means of body defense against Fasciola, obstructive effects or due to the toxin mediated lesion of the bone marrow. 26 The neutrophilia and eosinophilia were also observed to be proportional to worm load.…”
