[Changes in the blood indices of turkey poults experimentally infected with Eimeria adenoides].

Studied were the changes in the values of sodium, potassium, chlorides, calcium, phosphorus, iron, and copper in the blood plasma as well as in that of hemoglobin, hematocrit, and the total count of blood cells in turkey poults experimentally infected with Eimeria adenoeides. The birds were divided into three groups of 40 each. The first and second were infected with various numbers of sporulated oocysts, while the third group was kept as a control one.

[Histokinesis in experimental ovine cysticercosis].

The dynamic of the morphologic changes taking place in the viscera of lambs was followed up in lambs with an experimental Cysticercus ovis infection. The tests were carried out with 6 two-month-old lambs infected with 30,000 ova of Taenia ovis each. The animals were killed on the 2nd, 4th, 12th, 54th, and 70th day of infection, taking notes on the gross and microscopic changes in the internal organs.

[Composition of Eimeria in turkeys in Bulgaria].

Studied was the species composition of Eimeria in turkeys on a pedigree farm in the territory of the Higher Institute of Zootechnics and Veterinary Medicine. Metrical and morphologic investigations were carried out with more than 1000 sporulated oocysts isolated from parental flocks, turkey poults for fattening, clinically affected poults at various ages, and from experimentally infected poults. On the basis of the results obtained the following species were ascertained: Eimeria meleagridis Tyzzer, 1927; E.

[Biochemical changes in the blood of turkey poults experimentally infected with E. adenoeides].

An experiment was carried out with three groups of 3-week-old turkey poults. The first and second group were infected with 80 000 and 120 000 oocysts of the E. adenoeides species, and the third one was kept as control.

[Hematological and biochemical changes in lambs experimentally infested with Cysticercus ovis].

The effect was followed up of the experimental infection of Cysticercus ovis on some hematological and biochemical indices in lambs. The experiments were carried out with a total of 14 two-month-old lambs divided into 3 test groups of 4 animals each and a control group of 2 animals. The lambs of the first group were infected with 4000 Taenia ovis eggs, those of the second group--with 7000 T.
