The Electrophoretic Pattern of Serum Proteins in Sheep with Naturally Acquired Gastrointestinal Nematode Infections

The objective of this study was to describe the serum protein pattern in sheep with naturally acquired gastrointestinal parasitosis and to compare the distribution of protein fractions with the results obtained in animals with negative fecal examination results. Fecal and blood samples were taken fr...

The concentrations of total proteins showed no significant differences between both groups of sheep. The absolute mean values of albumin, α2-globulins and A/G ratio were significantly lower, the mean concentrations of α1-, β-, γ1- and γ2-globulins significantly higher in the nematode positive group of sheep (p<0.01 and p<0.001).
