ABSTRACT
Jahangir Morad R, Hassanpour A., Serum haptoglobin
and sialic acid levels in normal sheep or with babesia
spp. Onl J Vet Res., 21(5):280-287, 2017. Blood was taken from 28
sheep with babesia spp and 27
healthy sheep. Serum haptoglobin and total, lipid
bound and protein bound sialic acid were determined by ELISA or Katopolis based kits. Mean serum haptoglobin
total, lipid bound and protein bound sialic acid were higher in infected sheep
compared with healthy ones (p<0.05). However, there were no significant
correlations between total, lipid bound or protein bound sialic acid and haptoglobin in infected sheep except for lipid bound sialic
acid with haptoglobin (P <0.05). Results suggest
that serum sialic acid and haptoglobin were higher in
sheep with babesia spp
compared with healthy controls.
