“…Whereas, in the case of reduced glutathione (GSH) estimation, the RBC suspension obtained from the above blood sample was utilized. The cyanohemoglobin method described in Tentori and Salvati, (1981) was used to estimate the concentration of hemolysate haemoglobin.…”

“…Across the world, buffaloes have been commonly infested with sucking lice, Haematopinus tuberculatus which can also infest cattle especially during the winter season (Egri, 2019;Mamun et al, 2010). The risk factors such as lack of grooming, poor health status, poor temperature-humid weather conditions have favoured lice infestation in the livestock (Taylor et al, 2016).…”

“…Sucking lice feeds sebaceous gland secretion and blood, which are usually less mobile and remain securely attached to the host 's skin for an extended period of time. Lice can induce hypersensitivity, so severe infestations of H.tuberculatus can lead to varying levels of scratching, excoriation, alopecia, and papular dermatitis (Taylor et al, 2016). Recent research studies have shown that reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammation in ectoparasitism have induced tissue damage, by which it plays an vital role in deprivation of animal health (Dimri et al, 2010).…”

Bubaline pediculosis caused by the sucking lice, Haematopinus tuberculatus is a widespread and economically important ectoparasitic infestation of Indian water buffaloes. This lice infestation in buffalo is characterized by anemia, mineral imbalance and loss of performance but its pathobiology is unexplored. The aim of the present study was to investigate the oxidative pathobiology of bubaline pediculosis and its alleviation through the commonly used two antioxidants as an supportive therapy (N-acetyl cysteine and vitamin C). Twenty four Indian dairy buffaloes with severe bubaline pediculosis were allotted to the three groups (Group 1, 2 and 3).Another eight healthy animals free of any clinical anomalies and ectoparasites have been included as healthy controls (Group 4). Sucking lice infested animals (Group 1, 2 and 3) animals were given with single dose of ivermectin therapy @ 200 microgram/kg body weight Subcutaneously; In addition, group 2 and group 3 animals were treated with N-acetyl cysteine @ 12 mg/kg body weight and vitamin C@2g/ per animal po, respectively, once daily for 15 days. Before therapy (Day 0) and post-therapy (Day 28), haematological parameters like total erythrocyte count (TEC),haemoglobin (Hb), total leukocyte count (TLC) and Differential leukocyte count (DLC), and oxidative stress parameters like total antioxidant capacity( TAC), lipid peroxidation (LPO), reduced glutathione (GSH), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were evaluated on sucking lice infested buffaloes. Sucking lice infestation in Indian water buffaloes has showed severe anaemia, leukocytosis and along with remarkable oxidative stress response. Vitamin C given animals have demonstrated improved recovery from the bubaline pediculosis induced oxidative stress and reached normalcy post-therapeutically. Adjunct therapy of Vitamin C along with subcutaneous ivermectin has alleviated pathological damage in water buffaloes and hastened clinical recovery, while N-acetyl cysteine has been less effective in alleviating the oxidative stress. In future, therapeutic antioxidant studies should address the influence of the oxidative stress response in the host biological system.

“…Worldwide buffaloes were commonly infested with sucking lice, Haematopinus tuberculatus especially during the winter season can affect cattle also (Bastianetto and Leite, 2005;Egri, 2019;Mamun et al, 2010). Lice infestation in the animal was favored by the risk factors like lack of hygiene, low health status, low temperature-humid weather condition (Taylor et al, 2016). Sucking lice are sebaceous secretion feeders and bloodsuckers, which are less movable and remain tightly attached to the skin of host for a prolonged time.…”

“…Lice induce hypersensitivity hence, severe H.tuberculatus infestations can result in varying levels of scratching, self-excoriation, alopecia, and papulo -crustous dermatitis (Chaudhry, 1978;Egri, 2019;Taylor et al, 2016). Recent findings revealed that inflammation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced tissue damage to play an important role in ectoparasitism induced deprivation of host health (Dimri et al, 2010).…”
