ABSTRACT
Nazifi S, Mosleh N,
Alaeddini A, Eskandarzadeh
N, Basaki M., Effect
of ulcerative enteritis on acute phase proteins in quails, Onl J Vet Res., (3): 139-148, 2026. We report serum acute phase haptoglobin, amyloid
A protein and inflammatory mediators tumor necrosis factor-alpha,
gamma interferon, total lipid and protein bound sialic acid in 25 three week old
quails (Coturnix coturnix)
22 with ulcerative enteritis.
Compared with 13
non-infected controls birds, serum haptoglobin
increased (P < 0.001) 45%, amyloid 58,
total sialic acid 89, protein bound 90;
LBSA: lipid bound 89, umor necrosis factor alpha 60%
and gamma interferon 68% TNF-α: tumor necrosis factor-alpha; INF-γ:
gamma interferon. Findings suggest acute
phase proteins and inflammatory mediator concentrations
were higher in diseased birds withl
sialic acid most sensitive.
Keywords: Ulcerative enteritis, acute phase
proteins, quails.
