Abstract
Hematological and plasma biochemical analyses and parasitological detection were
carried out in the herring gull Larus argentatus. Hematological and plasma biochemical
parameters in uninfected gulls and gulls infected by Diphyllobothrium dendriticum (Cestoda:
Diphyllobothriidae) were compared. Hemoglobin content and numbers of erythrocytes
were reduced; numbers of leukocytes and sorption capacity of erythrocytes were
improved in blood of the infected herring gulls. Hematological index (eosinophil/lymphocyte
ratio) in infected gulls increased 1.8 times in comparison with eosinophil/lymphocyte
ratio in uninfected gulls. Metabolic imbalances in herring gulls infected by D. dendriticum
were determined. Levels of the total protein, phospholipids, triglyceride, phosphorus, calcium,
magnesium and sodium, and the activity of alkaline phosphatase decreased in plasma
blood of infected gulls; at the same time, the content of the uric acid, glucose, modified
albumin and circulatory immune complex and activities of transaminases and lactate dehydrogenase
had increased. It is assumed that the obtained results testify to the appearance
of abnormalities in the digestion processes and the activity of immune and circulatory systems
caused by the invasion of gulls with D. dendriticum.
