THE EFFECT OF A MIXED NEMATODE INFECTION ON THE SITE OF PLASMA PROTEIN ABSORPTION IN THE SMALL INTESTINE

Abstract
Absorption of albumin across the whole small intestine was high (0.87) and occurred mostly distal to the site of intestinal parasitism in both parasitized and control animals. This helps to explain why intestinal parasitism has no effect on protein absorption from the small intestine. Key words: Sheep, nematode, plasma loss, albumin absorption
