Biochemical estimation of protein and lipid profile of Aliezia hircusae sp. nov. from Capra hircus

Abstract

The present communication deals with the study of protein and lipid content of the cestode Aliezia hircusae sp.nov. infecting the Capra hircus from Kaij, District Beed, M.S., India. The protein content of the worm is estimated from the whole body by Gornall et al. (1949) method where as the lipid content of the worm is estimated from the whole body by Barners and Black Stock method, 1973.
