Folacin and cyanocobalamin in relation to natural Trypanosoma evansi infection in buffaloes

The haematological values of haemoglobin (Hb), packed cell volume (PCV) and vitamin levels of folacin (folic acid), cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) of buffaloes, in a surra endemic area of Eastern Haryana, India, were determined. Surra-positive buffaloes had significantly low levels of Hb, PCV, folic a...

Zusammenfassung:The haematological values of haemoglobin (Hb), packed cell volume (PCV) and vitamin levels of folacin (folic acid), cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) of buffaloes, in a surra endemic area of Eastern Haryana, India, were determined. Surra-positive buffaloes had significantly low levels of Hb, PCV, folic acid and vitamin B12. These low levels of folic acid and vitamin B12 may have enhanced the clinical signs of chronic trypanosomiasis, caused by Trypanosoma evansi.
