Abstract
THE separation of serum proteins by paper electrophoresis has been used widely in human medicine and for diagnostic purposes by veterinarians1. Parasitologists are also finding increasing use for electrophoretic techniques in the analysis of helminth infections2. In the following study the distribution of serum proteins of non-infected sheep maintained worm-free from birth, and worm-free sheep experimentally infected with 2,000 Oesophagostomum larvae, was analysed electrophoretically.
