Effects On Haematological Parameters And Pathology Of Internal Organs Of Trypanosoma Brucei Brucei Infected Albino Rats
ABSTRACT
A study of the effect of Trypanosoma brucei brucei on
haematological parameters and pathology of internal organs of infected albino
rats was conducted in Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike. The
rats were divided into 3 groups (A - C) of which group A was used as the
control (uninfected). Each group was made of three rats. There was an increase
in the total white blood cell (WBC) count and a decrease in the red blood cell
.RBC) count, packed cell volume (PCV) and haemoglobin (Hb) concentration of all
the infected rats, an indication that anaemia had set .n. The gross
pathological effects on the internal organs showed enlargement of the spleen
(splenomegally) and slight enlargement of the liver (hepatomegally). The heart
and kidney appeared anaeinic. From this work Trypanosorna brucei brucei has
been shown to be pathogenic in albino rats.
