Abstract
Camels infected with Trypanosoma evansi were diagnosed by the Passive Haemagglutination Test and Ag-ELISA and subjected to hormonal blood analyses to estimate the function of the thyroid gland. The results indicated that T. evansi caused a significant case of hypothyroidism evidenced as a decrease in the thyroid triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) blood levels associated with a parallel decrease in the level of blood pituitary thyrotropic hormone (TSH) as measured by the RIA technique.Entities:
