Investigation of haemato-biochemical parameters in bovine oriental theileriosis: A retrospective probe into the alterations in chronically infected cattle in endemic herds of Kannur district of Kerala, India.

Bovine theileriosis is a common tick-borne disease leading to reduced productivity, significant mortality and huge economic loss. The present study was conducted at Regional Clinical Laboratory, District Veterinary Centre, Kannur, Kerala, India to evaluate the haemato-biochemical parameters in bovine theileriosis caused by . The whole blood and serum samples of 75 cows collected from different parts of Kannur district, Kerala India, tested positive for by light microscopy and polymerase chain reaction were subjected to a battery of haemato-biochemical tests such as complete blood count, serum ionized calcium (iCa), magnesium (Mg), inorganic phosphorus (P), sodium (Na), potassium (K), chloride (Cl), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), total iron binding capacity (TIBC), total protein (TP), albumin, gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST).

Hematological characteristics of autochthonous hypermicrofilaremic dirofilariosis in dogs in Kannur District of Kerala.

Unlabelled: This study aimed to determine whether autochthonous high-intensity microfilaremia leads to haematological changes in companion dogs. Dogs with hypermicrofilaremia presented to the District Veterinary Centre, Kannur were selected for the study. A total of 100 dogs were positive for hypermicrofilariaemia with based on peripheral blood smear examination and Knott's test.

Hematological alterations in large species infection in dogs of Kannur District of Kerala.

Canine babesiosis is a tick-borne disease caused by apicomplexan intraerythrocytic hemoprotozoan parasites. It is caused by the small (, , and ) and large (, , and ) groups. As per the recent reports, the most prominent species encountered in the Kerala state are the small followed by the large The latter is regarded as mildly pathogenic, causing subclinical or mild disease; however severe complications like systemic inflammatory response syndrome, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, etc.
