[Modification of the liver phospholipid status of cattle by Orientobilharzia turkestanica trematodes]. / Modifikatsiia fosfolipidnogo statusa pecheni krupnogo rogatogo skota trematodami Orientobilharzia turkestanica.

The paper gives the data on a trematode influence onto the phospholipid (PL) contents in the liver of cows. It is shown, that the decrease of PL basic fraction concentrations, i.e. phosphatidilcholin (PC) by 20% and phosphotidilethanolamin (PE) by 26%, during the period of infection is accompanied by the increase of respective lysoforms, namely, lysoPC by 240%, and lysoPE by 160%, and as well as minor forms, PL-diphosphotidilgleserol by 70%, sphingomielin by 47% and phosphatidilserin by 41%. It is suggested, that the infection of cow liver by trematodes determines such contents and principles of membrane structures, which decrease their functional activity and probably increase its permeability for ions, some metabolites and low molecular carbohydrates.

[The interrelation of the phospholipid composition of the lungs in sheep and of the nematode Dictyocaulus filaria]. / Vzaimosviaz' fosfolipidnogo sostava legkikh ovtsy i nematody Dictyocaulus filaria.

The effect of nematodes Dictyocaulus (D) filaria on phospholipid (PL) composition in the homogenate of sheep lungs has been demonstrated. The comparative analysis has shown no differences in the content and composition of PL in the lungs of healthy sheep and in nematodes. Infection of sheep by helminths was found to result in changes in the PL composition of sheep lungs. Thus, it is possible to conclude that D. filaria affecting structural and functional systems of the host causes changes in its PL content.
