Blood loss estimation in Schistosoma incognitum by the use of 51Cr labelled red cells

  • 1. Indian Veterinary Research Inst., Izatnagar, Uttar Pradesh

Description

C42 Red blood cells labelled with 51Cr were used to study the pathophysiology of S. incognitum infection. Blood volume, cell volume, faecal blood excretion and the half life of the red cells were determined. It was shown that in rabbits infected with the blood fluke, there was loss of blood, which may result in the development of anaemia in the infected animals. (author)
