Blood chemistry of west African dwarf goats naturally infested with sarcoptic mange superinfected with trypanosoma brucei experimentally

Blood biochemistry was monitored in Twelve West African Dwarf goats. Eight naturally infested with mange Sarcoptes scabiei var caprae and later superinfected with Trypanosoma brucei , while the other four served as control. Hyperchlorademia and hyperphosphataemia were observed. No observable change in sodium and potassium concentration. There was a decreased in serum calcium and  in the total protein value of the mixed infected WAD goats (M+T).
