The biochemical changes associating Trypanosoma
evansi infection in pregnant and non-pregnant camels
were investigated. Based on pregnancy diagnosis and
serological findings, camels were classified into four groups
as non-pregnant healthy camels (N=6), non-pregnant
camels infected with T. evansi (N=6), pregnant healthy
camels (N=6), and pregnant camels infected with Trypanosoma
evansi (N=8). The results revealed significant
decreases (p<0.05) in serum total proteins, albumin and
globulins levels, and significant increases (p<0.05) in
serum total cholesterol and blood urea nitrogen (BUN)
levels in pregnant camels infected with T. evansi compared
with healthy pregnant camel. On the other hand, there were
hyperproteinemia and hyperglobulinemia in healthy pregnant
camel compared with non-pregnant camel. It could
be concluded that the biochemical changes associating
T. evansi infection in pregnant camels are hypoproteinemia,
hypoalbuminemia, and hypoglobulinemia and increased
serum total cholesterol and BUN levels.
