Abstract

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of Toxoplasma gondii infection on the content of essential elements of zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and magnesium (Mg) in sheep. Serum Zn, Cu, and Mg levels as well as wool Zn and Cu concentrations were measured in twenty sheep whose anti-T gondii antibodies were positive and in seventeen sero-negative healthy sheep. The average Zn concentration in serums from sero-positive sheep was significantly (P<0.05) lower than in their controls. However, compared to the healthy ewes the Cu concentrations in serum of sero-positive objects were recorded significantly (P<0.001) higher. The mean concentration of Mg in serum was higher but not significant (P>0.05) in sero-positive sheep than in their controls. On the other hand, the Zn and Cu concentrations of wool from diseased animals showed no significant elevations.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı Toxoplazma gondii enfeksiyonunun koyunlarda çinko (Zn), bakır (Cu) ve magnezyum (Mg) düzeyleri üzerindeki etkisini araştırmaktır. 20 adet enfekte ve 17 sağlıklı koyunun serumlarındaki Zn, Cu ve Mg konsantrasyonları ile yünlerindeki Zn ve Cu düzeyleri ölçüldü. Serumlarında anti-7 gondii antikorlarını taşıyan sero-pozitif hayvanların serum Zn düzeylerinde kontrol grubu ile karşılaştırıldığında istatistik olarak anlamlı bir düşüş (P 0.05) tespit edildi. Yün Zn ve Cu konsantrasyonlarında ise anlamlı bir farklılığın olmadığı saptandı.
