Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of oral administration of aqueous extract from different parts(head, body and whole) of ticks of the species Boophilus annulatus in local rabbits to evaluate the total serum protein, albumin and globulin concentration.

The result showed significant increase of total protein in all groups of rabbits which administration the antigens of head, body and whole of ticks antigenscompare with control group. Whereas the result showed a significant increase in the Albumin concentration ingroup body antigencompare with control and group that given head antigen. while there is no significant difference between the group that given body extract and group that given a whole antigen in thealbumin concentration. Also this study showeda significant increase in globulin concentration in group that given whole antigen and group that given head antigen compare with control, and group that givenwhole antigencompare withgroup that given body antigen.
