BookPublisher: 2011Subject(s): Department of PathologyDDC classification: 1243,T Dissertation note: The present study was designed to diagnose theileriosis, to check its prevalence, to see its effects on liver and kidney function tests and to evaluate supportive therapy in the cattle population of district Peshawar. For this purpose district Peshawar was divided into 4 units and and five blood samples were collected from five villages of each unit. Thus a total of 20 villages were sampled for collection of blood samples from100 suspected animals. Screening of animals was done by blood smears stained by Giemsa staining technique. The blood smears showed theileria, piroplasms, including cocci, rod and signet-ring. On the basis of microscopic examination the overal prevalence of theileriosis in district Peshawar was 16% (16/100).
Liver and kidney function tests were perfomed on heparinized plasma using chemistry analyser (Microlab 300). The values of SGPT, SGOT, Albumin, Total bilirubin and creatinine were increased while the values of total protein and albumin were decreased as compared to the normal reference values
For evaluation of supportive therapy half of the theileria positive animals were treated with butalax only and the other half were treated with butalax + liver tonic and diuretics (Hepasel +Lasix injections)..Evaluation of supportive therapy showed that the values of liver functions tests and kidney function tests of theileria positive animals treated with Butalax + Hepasel and diuretics as supportive therapy came to the normal range after five days of treatments as compared to those treated with only butalax.
It is anticipated that present study was proved helpful in diagnosis of theileriosis and evaluation of supportive therapy and will be beneficial for further study.
