Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate oxidative stress using markers such as malondialdehyde (MDA), glu- tathione (GSH), total oxidant status (TOS), total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and oxidative stress index (OSI) in sheep naturally infected with Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii). A total of 30 Morkaraman breed sheep were used in this study. Blood samples were obtained from 10 healthy control sheep and 20 sheep naturally infected with T. gondii. malondial- dehyde, GSH, TOS and TAC levels were determined in serum samples. The ratio of serum TOS to TAC levels was assessed as OSI. While the serum MDA level increased significantly (P
