COMPARATIVE HEMATOLOGICAL PROFILE OF EXPERIMENTALLY INFECTED WITH TRICHINELLA SPIRALIS, TRICHINELLA BRITOVI AND TRICHINELLA PSEUDOSPIRALIS MICE

The study aimed to observed hematological changes occurring during experimentally induced infection with Trichinella spiralis, T. britovi and T. pseudospiralis in mice. We performed hematological blood profile, tracking 15 blood indicators. In statistical analysis made by Two-way ANOVA, there were significant differences of HGB, MCHC, PLT, Lymph %, Gran % in all three types of trichinellosis compared to control animals. Capsule-forming T. spiralis showed statistically significant differences in HGB, MCHC, Lymph % and PLT compared to the other two species. Non capsule-forming T. pseudo-spiralis showed statistically significant differences in Lymph %, Gran % relative to the control and in Gran % relative to T. spiralis.
