Determination of D-Dimer Levels in Calves with Cryptosporidiosis
Abstract
The aim of the present study was emphasized to estimation of D-dimer levels among calves with cryptosporodiosis. The study was conducted on 1-3 weeks old, 11 Holstein calves with Cryptosporidiosis (study group) and on 1-3 weeks old ten healthy Holstein calves (control group). Diagnosis of Cryptosporidiosis made by rapid test kits. Blood samples were taken from each animal, by puncture of the jugular vein and were collected into plain tubes without anticoagulant. D-dimer concentrations were detected by fluorescent immunoassay techniques in both study and control group calves. As a result, D-dimer values were significantly increased in infected calves when compared with the control group animals.
