Purpose: Canine ehrlichiosis is an important tick-borne disease of dogs worldwide. In the present study, we aimed to determine the serum total antioxidant capacity (TAC), malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO), superoxide dismutase, (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity and serum protein profiles in dogs affected with naturally acquired ehrlichiosis.

Methods: The animal materials had been consisted of ten dogs naturally infected with Ehrlichia canis, and ten controls negative for Ehrlichia canis.

Essential oil of oregano ( OEO: ) has proven to be a potential candidate for controlling chicken coccidiosis. The aim of the current study is to determine whether OEO and an approved anticoccidial, monensin sodium ( MON: ), as in-feed supplements could create a synergism when combined at low dosages. Day-old broiler chickens were separated into six equal groups with six replicate pens of 36 birds.

Article Synopsis
  • Oxidative stress occurs when there's an imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants, leaning towards more oxidants.
  • This study focused on measuring oxidative stress in dogs infected with Babesia vogeli by analyzing levels of 8-OHdG, nitric oxide (NO), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) using ELISA.
  • Results showed a significant increase in 8-OHdG levels in the infected dogs compared to the control group, while NO levels rose and TAC levels fell, though the latter two changes were not statistically significant.
