The Hemalog system is an automated hematological instrument. From one sample this instrument determines the value for platelets (PBC), white blood cells (WBC), red blood cells (RBC), hemoglobin (Hb) and the hematocrit simultaneously. Moreover the system calculates the derived values: the mean cell volume (MCV), mean cell hemoglobin (MCH) and the mean cell hemoglobin concentration (MCHC). The va...

Some haematological and rheological features were compared in 27 age and sex matched pairs of patients (15 male, 12 female) with homozygous sickle cell (SS) disease with and without proliferative sickle retinopathy (PSR). Significant haematological differences between the groups were a higher haemoglobin and a lower fetal haemoglobin in PSR positive males and a higher MCHC in PSR positive femal...

The present study was conducted to study the pathology of the Sudanese sheep in Elshaheed Nasr Eldeen slaughter house, Khartoum-North, Sudan. The prevalence of foreign body in rumen is substantially high. Haematology revealed decrease in RBC, PCV, Hb and MCV whereas there is increase in MCH and MCHC which indicated microcytic hyperchromic anaemia. Necropsy of rumens revealed congestion, haemorr...

The polyopisthocotylean Sparicotyle chrysophrii (Van Beneden et Hesse, 1863) was experimentally transmitted to gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata L.) by exposure to eggs (EGT) and by cohabitation with naturally parasitized fish (CT). In EGT trials, the infection was successfully transmitted by introducing containers with monogenean eggs in the fish tanks, with the highest infection level (85.7% p...

The current study was aimed at evaluating the effect of heat stress (during the hot-dry period) on some physiological variables, haematology and erythrocyte osmotic fragility (EOF) in bucks, pregnant (single and twin) and lactating Red Sokoto (RS) goats. Forty apparently healthy adult goats were used for the study and were allotted to four groups [bucks (n = 10), pregnant (n = 10) dry (n = 10),...
