| Abstract (English): |
Background: Ivermectin may affect the levels of cytokines and immunoglobulins in sheep, considering that avermectins have an effect on the immune system. Objective: To determine whether ivermectin has an effect on cytokines and immunoglobulins in sheep. Methods: After administration of ivermectin to 10 healthy sheep, sheepspecific interferon-α, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-2, interleukin-6, interleukin-10, immunoglobulin G, immunoglobulin M, and immunoglobulin E levels were measured with an ELISA reader. Results: Significant (p<0.05) fluctuations were detected in interleukin-2 and interleukin-10 levels. Transient increases (p<0.05) were measured in tumor necrosis factor-α and immunoglobulin E levels (p<0.05). Conclusion: Ivermectin may affect immune system parameters in healthy sheep; however, the effects of ivermectin administration on infected sheep should be investigated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

Antecedentes: La ivermectina puede alterar los niveles de citocinas e inmunoglobulinas en ovinos, dado que las avermectinas afectan el sistema inmunológico. Objetivo: Determinar si la ivermectina tiene algun efecto sobre las citocinas e inmunoglobulinas en ovinos. Métodos: Después de la administración de ivermectina a 10 ovejas sanas los niveles de interferón-α específico de oveja, factor de necrosis tumoral-α, interleucina-2, interleucina-6, interleucina-10, inmunoglobulina G, inmunoglobulina M, e inmunoglobulina E se midieron con un lector ELISA. Resultados: Se detectaron fluctuaciones significativas (p<0,05) en los niveles de interleucina-2 e interleucina-10. Tambien se encontraron aumentos transitorios (p<0,05) en los niveles de factor de necrosis tumoral-α e inmunoglobulina E (p<0,05). Conclusión: la ivermectina puede afectar los parámetros del sistema inmunitario en ovejas sanas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

Antecedentes: A ivermectina pode alterar os níveis de citocinas e imunoglobulinas em ovinos, visto que as avermectinas afetam o sistema imunológico. Objetivo: Determinar o efeito da ivermectina nas citocinas e imunoglobulinas em ovinos. Métodos: Após a administração de ivermectina a 10 ovelhas saudáveis, interferon-α específico de ovelha, fator de necrose tumoral-α, interleucina-2, interleucina-6 e interleucina-10, os níveis de imunoglobulina G, imunoglobulina M e imunoglobulina E foram medidos com Leitor de ELISA. Resultados: Flutuações estatisticamente significativas (p<0,05) foram detectadas nos níveis de interkeukin-2 e interkeukin-10. Aumentos transitórios (p<0,05) foram medidos nos níveis de fator de necrose tumoral-α e imunoglobulina E (p<0,05). Conclusão: A ivermectina pode afetar parâmetros do sistema imunológico em ovinos saudáveis, entretanto, os efeitos da administração de ivermectina em ovinos infectados devem ser investigados.
