[Clinical examination of the blood of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus L.) and fallow deer (Dama dama L.) naturally invaded by parasites].

Roe-deer (Capreolus capreolus L. -- five animals) and fallow deer (Dama dama L. -- eleven animals) of both sexes and at different age were subject to blood examination. The deer were killed in several preserves in Bohemia during autumn and winter shootings in two years. The following blood values were determined: erythrocyte count, leucocyte count, hemoglobin content, hematocrit values, MCV, MCH, MCHC, white blood picture, total protein, its fractions (albumin, alpha-, beta-, and gamma-globulin) SGOT, SGPT, and alkaline phosphatase activities, and calcium, phoshporus, and magnesium levels. Examinations were performed in the blood collected from heart soon after the killing of the animals and the results were evaluated in relation to natural polyvalent invasions by parasites of the following species: Bicaulus sagittatus, Dictyocaulus viviparus, Paramphistomum sp., Haemonchus contortus, Ostertagia circumcincta, O. ostertagi, Trichostrongylus colubriformis, Bunostomum trigonocephalum, Nematodirus filicollis, Chabertia ovina, Oesophagostomum columbianum, Trichocephalus ovis, Eimeria auburnensis, E. faurei, and E. ninaekohlyakimovae, occurring in different intensities and species composition in individual animals of the deer tested.
