Özet
Goose farming is gaining importance due to the economic value of meat and by-products; however, despite frequent reports of Plasmodium spp. infections in waterfowls, data on systemic biochemical responses in domestic geese remain limited. This study investigated biochemical alterations associated with natural Plasmodium spp. infection in Anser anser domesticus, focusing on acute phase proteins (APPs), thiol–disulfide homeostasis (TDH), and serum protein profiles. Blood samples were collected from geese with Plasmodium infection defined by combined microscopic examination and PCR (n= 35) and from uninfected geese (n= 20) Serum levels of APPs [Serum amyloid A (SAA), haptoglobin (Hp), total sialic acid (TSA)], TDH parameters [Native thiol (NT), total thiol (TT), disulfide (DS)], and serum proteins (total protein, albumin, globulin) were analyzed. Plasmodium-infected geese showed significantly higher …
