| Abstract | ||
| The study investigated , for the first time, measurement of the specific activity of Adenosine deaminase (ADA) in serum ,thymus and bone marrow of BALB/c mice infected with protoscoleces of Echinococcus granulosus which are exposed to the electric current 2v = 5.77mA/cm2 for 2min ، 3v = 11.82 mA/cm2 for 2min ,in comparison with the control group( mice infected with protoscoleces which are not exposed to the electric current ) . The results revealed, after three months of infection, that the specific activity of ADA in mice infected with protoscoleces which are exposed to the electric current was significantly (P<0.01) higher in serum ,thymus and bone marrow than the control group, and the electric current with 2v was more effective than the electric current with 3v. The reduction in the ADA activity in the control group could be related to the immunosuppression state associated with the development of the disease , and the increase in the specific activity of ADA, in mice infected with exposed protoscoleces ,could be related to the immunostimulator activity of the electric current . | ||
