Popis: The study allowed establishing values of certain biochemical parameters in 48 donkeys selected in seven villages of the agro-pastoral zone of Sideradougou, Burkina Faso. Values found in donkeys of this agro-pastoral zone were within the ranges of those found in donkeys elsewhere in the world, except that values of creatinine and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were lower in Burkinabese donkeys. The values of these biochemical parameters varied with trypanosomosis infection in donkeys. Indeed, donkeys suffering from trypanosomosis got higher values alanine transaminase (p = 0.035) than the noninfected donkeys. The values of AST in the healthy donkeys was (p = 0.009). The values of total proteins were significantly higher in the infected donkeys (p = 0.003), while the albumin values did not vary significantly; the variation in proteins concentration was due to globulins levels. The gamma globulin level was increased in the trypanosomosis-infected donkeys (p = 0.003).
