ABSTRACT
Shahbazi H and Hassanpour A. Serum sialic acid levels in horses with and
without piroplasmosis by Theileria
equi or Babesia caballi. Onl J Vet Res.,
21(4):161-166, 2017. Levels of serum
sialic acid, binding protein and lipid in horses with (17) or without (16) piroplasmosis are reported. Sialic acid, binding protein
and lipid were determined by the N-astyl
neuramic acid wavelength method. In horses with piroplasmosis or healthy horses without piroplasmosis,
total
sialic acid values were 67.40.31±2.46 and 45.92±2.36mg/dl (P<0.0001), serum sialic acid binding protein 34.31±2.39
and 25.91±1.52mg/dl (P<0.006), and sialic acid
binding lipid 40.41±1.58
and 32.05±1.78mg/dl (P<0.001), respectively. There were no significant
correlations between any parameter. Results
suggest increases in sialic acid in horses infected with Theileria equi or Babesia caballi.
