“…Regarding the biochemical findings, in a study conducted by Denizhan et al [33] and Kılınc et al [34] on cattle with tropical theileriosis, CK-MB level was found to be significantly higher than the control group, on the other hand, by Fartashvand et al [35], CK-MB level in cattle with theileriosis was found to be quite high compared to the control group. This is considered a sign that the heart muscle of infected calves is affected.…”

This case report aims to present the clinical and laboratory findings of cerebral theileriosis in a 1-month-old female Holstein calf. In the clinical examination of the calf, blindness, ataxia, opistotonus, nystagmus and convulsions, anemia and petechial hemorrhage foci in the conjunctiva, upper palate, gingiva were observed, and asymmetrical enlargement of the left prescapular lymph node was detected. As a result of hematological examinations, it was determined that lymphocyte count, erythrocyte count, hemoglobin amount, mean erythrocyte diameter (MCV) and hematocrit values were lower than normal, but mean erythrocyte hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and platelet values were lower than normal in the calf. higher than normal values. In terms of biochemical values, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), direct and indirect bilirubin, triglyceride and creatine kinase myocardial band (CK-MB) values were found to be higher than normal values. In blood gas analysis, blood pH and glucose values were lower than normal values, and lactate concentration was higher than reference values.The parameters in this case report are reported to be helpful in the differential diagnosis of similar cases that veterinarians in the field may encounter.

“…Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that a methionine-rich diet was correlated with serum hyperhomocysteinemia and predisposed pigs to atherogenesis [ 52 ]. Hcy has also been investigated in cattle [ 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 ]. Its serum concentration was significantly higher than in healthy animals during bovine theileriosis [ 53 ], and in moderate, long-term cobalt deficiency [ 54 ].…”

Homocysteine is an endogenous, non-protein sulfuric amino acid, an intermediate metabolite formed by the methionine transmethylation reaction. Its elevated serum concentration in humans, hyperhomocysteinemia, is a sensitive indicator and a risk factor for coagulation disorders, cardiovascular diseases and dementia. However, the role of homocysteine in veterinary species has not been unequivocally established. Although some research has been conducted in dogs, cats, cattle and pigs, relatively few studies on homocysteine have been conducted in horses. So far, it has been established in this species that homocysteine has an atherogenic effect, plays a role in early embryo mortality and is responsible for the induction of oxidative stress. These preliminary findings support establishing a reference range in a normal population of horses, including horses in training and merit further investigations into the role of this amino acid in health and disease in this species.

“…In domestic ruminants, the most significant APPs are SAA, Hp, AGP, and Fb, whereas CRP is also an important APP in pigs. Elevated levels of these markers have been described in mastitis, lameness, and respiratory diseases in cattle (3,15), fasciolosis and scabies in sheep (17,70), and mycoplasma infection in goats (23). With regard to wildlife species, APP concentrations have been described in European bison (Bison bonasus) (52), white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and red deer (Cervus elaphus) (13,69), bongos (Tragelaphus eurycerus) (5), Alpine ibexes (Capra ibex) (56), African buffalos (Syncerus caffer) (29), wild boars (Sus scrofa) (62), and semi-domesticated reindeers (Rangifer tarandus) (50).…”

The aim of this review is to present current knowledge regarding acute phase proteins (APPs) in selected wild mammal species. APPs are a group of proteins synthesized in the liver. Their main biological function is to restore homeostasis in response to infection, injury, and other pathologies. APPs are well-studied and used in routine diagnostics in domestic animals and humans, whereas in wildlife species they are currently under intensive research. The most investigated APPs in non-domesticated animals include serum amyloid A (SAA), haptoglobin (Hp), C-reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen (Fb), ceruloplasmin (Cp), and albumins (Ab). Changes in their concentrations have been described in cases of injuries, bacterial and viral infections, parasite infestations, and stress situations. It is important to note that the concentration of APPs is strongly affected by species, genotype, age, and environmental conditions. As the knowledge regarding APPs in wildlife develops, they may possibly be used in the future as diagnostic or prognostic tools, which is of special importance for threatened wildlife species.
