Abstract :

Theileriosis is a protozoan disease of tropical and subtropical areas. The main cause  of bovine theileriasis in Iran is Theileria annulata, which is  transmitted by ticks of the Hyalomma Commonly every year in warm seasons, theileriasis  incidence or prevalence by the activity of ticks. In this study 50 cows affected to theileriasis were studied. Blood samples were taken from infected cows and their blood sera were taken. Using laboratory kits of the enzyme ALP and GGT the level of the activity of this enzymes in the sera of affected cows was measured with spectrophotometer and following results were obtained. The amount of ALP and GGT enzymes in affected cows was higher than the normal amount of them in healthy cows. Based of results in this study the average level of ALP activity in affected cows was 221.75 U/lit compared to 200 Unit in healthy cows, that reflecting a slight increase. For the enzyme GGT in infected cows the mean level of activity was 40.89 U/lit, and it showed a significant increase compared to the normal level in healthy cows. The increase in the activity of GGT enzyme in infected cows was more than that of ALP in this cow.
