Abstract
Propolis is a resinous material collected by bees from bud and
exudates of the plants which transferred in the presence of bee enzyme
into other complex substance composed of 30% wax, 50% resin and
vegetable balsam, 10% essential and aromatic oil, 5% pollen and other
substance. Bees use it to seal holes in their honey combs, smooth out
internal wall as well as to cover carcasses which died inside the hive
in order to avoid their decomposition. Propolis has protective and
therapeutic effect against many diseases, bacteria, virus, fungus and
turnors for thus; this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of
propolis on albino rat infected with Trypanosoma lewisi and also its
effect on pigeon squabs infected with Trichomonas gallinae.
Isolation of strain of Trypanosoma lewisi was done from chosen
infected wild rats captured by traps from field and banks of river Nile
canals of Mini a El-Kammah at Sharkia province and maintained in 50
albino rats (each of 150 gm body weight) by intra-peritoneal
inoculation of heparinized blood containing Trypanosoma lewisi
collected from the infected wild rats.
Strain of Trichomonas gallinae was done from infected squabs
collected from lofts and morbets of Minia El-Kammah at Sharkia
province and maintained in squabs by oral route inoculation and
propagated in culture of glucose broth serum medium and left until
used.
Propolis collected by scrapping off the frames of beehives located
at Sharkia province, 3% water extract of pro po lis was prepared.
