Abstract
This study was conducted for the period from October 2009 until October 2010 ,which aimed to assess the effect of some products of bee honey(natural honey and royal jelly ) in hydatid cysts and some hematological and immunological parameters and find out the effectiveness of these products as immunomodifiers through study of the differential counts of white blood cells and the level of immunoglobulinsin Balb /c mice which infected with protoscolices of Echinococcus granulosus Parasite The results of hydatid cysts counting showed after three months of the initial infection with protoscolices that the outputs of honey bee (natural honey and royal jelly ) very effective in reducing the number of in hydatid cysts in white mice ,where doses achieved (200 mg/kg royal jelly and 640 mg/kg natural honey) the therapeutic efficiency(100 %)and (95.18 %),respectively.Also the results of examine of some of blood parameters in mice revealed that the royal jelly and bee honey effects of increase in hemoglobin (Hb and hematocrit (pcv) and the total number of white blood cells (Total WBCs ).In the same context the results of the differential count of white blood cells of white mice showed that the royal jelly as immunodifiers and natural bee honey have significant effect in increasing the percentage of monocytes and slight decreasing in the percentage of eosinophils .Results of the single radial immunodiffussion test to estimate the concentration of immunoglobulins in white mice serum that the royal jelly and bee honey have effective in raising the level of theimmunoglobulins IgA , IgG and IgM .
