Hematological Profile of Sheep Experimentally Infested with Bovicola ovis

Effect of Tick and Lice on Some Blood Constitute and Trace elements of Local Black Goat in Sulaimani, Kurdistan Region of Iraq

“…As in the Table 3 was illustrated, in all results, influence of lice is less than both mixed infestation and tick infested goat, this result have agreement with [17] but with varying in serum protein as in their study effect of lice are more on this parameter than ticks, except of copper whole other parameters (serum proteins and zinc) has not any differences (p≥0.05) among them. This variation of effects and minimal impact of lice might be related to its types as in this study merely present on genus of chewing lice Bovicola caprae and also its not sucking blood, mainly has secondary effects on blood parameters as [26] pointed in their study. Reduction of zinc concentration also can seen as hepatic disorders as [27] stated that, also as mentioned in FAO and WHO [28] that 70% of Zn and Cu are bound with albumin and any alteration of albumin as in this study showed statistically remarkable decreased (p≤0.01) in infested goat, led to decrease of these trace elements as a secondary infestation.…”

Hematological and Oxidant/Antioxidant Status in Recurrent Equine Eczema Of Egyptian Horses

“…In flea allergic dermatitis and tick infestations, erythrogram activity was within the normal ranges (Wojciech et al, 2007;Burcak and Abdulkadir, 2011;Jaheen, 2015). However, in cases of lice infestation, RBC indices decreased but were within normal ranges (Tadie et al, 2018).…”

“…Similar findings were recorded in other skin affections and parasites. For instance, in sheep-infested lice, Tadie et al (2018) recorded an increase in the numbers of eosinophils due to allergic reactions caused by irritation of lice infestation.…”

First record of Damalinia caprae (Gurlt, 1843) and Linognathus africanus (Kelogg and Paine, 1911) (Insecta: Phthiraptera) in small ruminants from Cuajinicuilapa, Guerrero, Mexico

“…Clayton, et al [26] mention that, if lice are present in small numbers may not have negative effects on their hosts; however, according to Bates [3] in large numbers, and due to the constant skin irritation consequently leads to scratching, rubbing, and licking causing stress. On the other hand, Mellado [27] and Galloway [28] reported that the derivate restlessness causes a decrease in the production (gain weight, milk, and wool) and reproduction parameters, associated with anemia [29,30], as well as birth weight reduction in newborns [31]. Ectoparasite infestation will always be a major challenge in goat and sheep production units [32].…”
