Evaluation of Total Proteins and Serum Protein Fractions in Cats Naturally Infected by Leishmania infantum–A Preliminary Study	2006		.txt	text/plain	1264	62	52	In canine leishmaniosis, laboratory parameters such as serum total proteins (TPs), albuminto-globulin (A/G) ratio, and single serum protein fractions have been proposed for their particular diagnostic significance and for monitoring the progress of the disease (Ceci and Petazzi, 1983; Bizzetti, 1998; Ciaramella and De Luna, 1999) . During the progress of feline leishmaniosis, some authors have observed increased serum TPs associated with hyper-γ-globulinemia and hypoalbuminemia with inversion of the A/G ratio and changes in the α-globulin fractions (Laurelle-Magalon and Toga, 1996 Hervas et al., 1999; Ozon et al., 1998; Pennisi, 2002; Poli et al., 2002) . To the best of our knowledge, the evaluation of serum protein changes has only been reported once for a group of FIV infected cats positive to PCR assay for Leishmania infantum (Pennisi et al., 2000) . The objective of this study was to evaluate serum TPs and some protein fractions in cats positive to Leishmania.	./cache/cord-014868-kg96uvpi.txt	./txt/cord-014868-kg96uvpi.txt
