| Abstract | ||
| Examination of 180 live catfish, Clarias lazera from Lake Manzala was carried out for blood protozoan parasites from January to December 1997. 112 samples (62.2%) were found infected with blood protozoan parasites, Trypanosoma mukasai (57.2%), Babesiosoma aegyptiacus (9.4%) and Haemogregarina aegyptiacus (11.7%). The collected blood parasites were re-described and microphotographed. Electrophoretic analysis of sera from infected Clarias lazera with Trypanosoma mukasai showed significant increase in B globulin with significant decrease in α—globulin and albumin, while the γ-globulin has no significant value. Also, significant decrease in Hb %; PCV and RBcs count with leucocytosis. The biochemical analysis revealed significant decrease in albumin and albumin globulin ratio as Wel li as in iron, however no significant value in globulin. | ||
