Trofimov M. Invasive diseases of rabbits: eimeriosis, passalurosis, cysticercosis (epizootology, pathogenesis, remedies)

The author of the material to study the epizootological situation-related information on invasive diseases of rabbits. It shows the extensiveness and intensity of eimeriosis, passalurosis and cysticercosis invasion at farming units with various patterns of ownership within Odessa Region. We have discovered that cysticercosis and eimeriosis invasion results in reflex effect on rabbits reticuloendothelial system which reduces the hemoglobin content and quantity of red blood cells, and at the same time increases the quantity of white blood cells. Found that in the event of passalurosis invasion or passalurosis and eimeriosis invasion the development of the pathological process inside a rabbits body is associated with changes in biochemical and immunological figures, such as decrease in the crude protein content, fraction of albumins, increase in the total globulin level, increase in the level of circulating immune complexes and seromucoids. Increased doses of brovadazol-plus (0.15 g per kilogram of body weight) in the event of combined passalurosis and cysticercosis invasion are associated with development of longer suppression of immune system inside rabbits bodies as compared to alben, which is evidenced by the high of level of circulating immune complexes and seromucoids. Brovadez-20 featuring 1.5 % concentration used with 60-minute exposure results in the maximum number of deformed eggs laid by Passalurus ambiguus and that was 97.2 % on the 10th day of the research period.
