Article history: Received January 24, 2021 Accepted May 04, 2021 Available online November 20, 2021 This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of Sarcoptes scabiei infection in cows in Anbar province, Iraq. The parasite was diagnosed in the laboratory via examining skin scrapings taken from the suspected cows. The results indicated that the infection rate in cows with S. scabiei reached 37.5%, the animals of 3 months <3 years old have the highest rate of infection. The results of the study showed that head lesions were more present and clearer than others. Furthermore, the highest rate of infection was recorded in the winter season and the lowest in the summer season. It has been proven that the concentration of (510) mg/ml of the aquatic extract of Hammada articulate had a great effect on the parasite, however, the concentration 10 mg/ml leads to the complete disappearance of all parasites and the cure of the infected cows on the 14th day of treatment, which is equal to the drug Abamectin in its effect on the parasites. The current study concluded that cows in the study areas were infected with scabies mites at a high rate, and this calls for finding safe treatment methods by using medicinal herbs and plants because they contain many active compounds that affect the parasite and lead to its mortality, and they are safe strategic alternatives to harmful chemical drugs. This necessitates the establishment of an integrated control approach through treatment with effective plant extracts and to maintain the cleanliness of the animal environment.

Abstract The current study was conducted to find out the prevalence of Microfilaria in cows in the western regions of Iraq, by examining 382 cows of both sexes and for ages from 1-11 years during the year 2020. The parasite was diagnosed by examining the skin scraping collected from the infected animals in the laboratory, and the results showed that the cows were infected with the microfilariae parasite by 34%, and the highest infection rate was recorded in Al-Qa’im area 51.6% and Haditha 49.%. Significant differences were observed between males (21.9%) and females (44.6%). The highest incidence rate was recorded in cows aged 3-5 years, at 45.3%, with significant differences from the rest of the ages. Furthermore, the highest incidence rate was observed in Summer seasons, reaching 64.8%. The current study concludes that cattle in the western regions of Iraq are infected with the microfilariae parasite at a high rate, and this necessitates the establishment of an integrated control approach to control parasitic diseases and prevent their spread in farm animals because they cause serious disease effects and heavy economic losses.

Abstract The Western Desert is a wide area of Iraq, it is bordered by three Arab countries, and characterized by the great plant diversity in the rainy years, including year 2019, during the spring season of the same year, a number of field trips were carried out in which wild plants were collected, and among them was Astragalus vogelii (webb) Bornm. of the papilionaceae family for the first time in Iraq, specifically in the Obealah valley, which intersects with the highway road towards Jordan and Syria (about 18 km. west of Rutba). The species was identificated according to the Flora of neighboring and near countries, the morphological description of the sprcies was done through a taxonomic treatment supported by photographic and microscopic images for all floral and vegetative parts, as well as anatomical description of the stem based on the cross section. Amap was also developed the specifies the locations of the species distribution. After making sure that there was no previous sample for the species in the Iraqi Herbaria, the sample of this study were deposited in the Iraqi National Herbarium with numbers 60340, 60341, 60342 and in the Anbar University Herbarium with numbers 6670, 6671, 6672 and 6673.

Abstract This study was conducted to find out the prevalence of Fasciola hepatica in goats in Anbar province-Iraq, via routine examination of the livers taken from goats slaughtered in central slaughterhouses in the province to ensure that they were infected with hepatic helminths. The results indicated that a total infection rate of 43.5%. Ramadi area had the highest infection rate, moreover, the highest infection rate was 69.9% for ages 6-8 years. Significant differences were found in the average numbers of helminths in the bile sac and liver of both males and females of infected goats. On the other hand, It has been proven that the concentrations of (0.5-10) mg/ml of the alcoholic extract of the plant Aizoon hispanicum had a significant effect on the vitality of the helminths in vitro, as the concentration 10 mg/ml leads to the complete inhibitory for the vitality of helminths where after 36 hours it led to a 100% killing rate. The current study concluded that the goats in the study areas are infected with the F. hepatica parasite at a high rate, and this calls for finding safe treatment methods using medicinal herbs and plants because they contain many active compounds that affect the helminths and lead to their death, and they are safe strategic alternatives to harmful chemical drugs. This necessitates the establishment of an integrated control approach through treatment with effective plant extracts to eliminate these parasites and their health and economic damage.

Abstract This study was conducted to find out the prevalence of Cyclospora cayetanensis in humans, animals, and vegetables in Anbar province-Iraq. The parasite was diagnosed by examining the samples microscopically, by examining 560 stool samples (262 males and 298 females) that were collected from patients attending hospitals (Ramadi, Fallujah, and Haditha), and its health centers. The results showed that the total infection rate was 12.1%, and no significant difference was recorded between the infection of both sexes. The highest rate of infection was 25.8% in the age group (1-9) years, with significant differences (P ≤0.05) from the rest of the age groups. The infection rate in the rural was 14.5% higher than in the urban 8.4%. The highest rate was recorded at 41.5% in April and the lowest at 2.5% in November, while the summer months did not record any infections. The study also included an examination of 188 samples of animal feces (48 sheep, 50 cows, 47 goats, and 43 dogs), the parasite was not diagnosed in any of the examined animals. This is the first study in the country to investigate the parasite in goats. The study also included the investigation of the C. cayetanensis parasite in five types of vegetable leaves (garden cress, radish, leek, green onions, and purslane). Where it is observed the presence of Oocyst in vegetables washing water by a percentage (6, 7.8, 7.2, 4.4, and 3.2) Oocyst/liter respectively.

In this study the effect of Cu addition on the phase transformation behavior, microstructure, and micro hardness of equiatomic Ni-Ti shape memory alloy was investigated. NiTiCu SMA prepared with the composition (52.119 % at. Ni, 41.731% at. Ti and Cu 6.15 % at.) and compared with the properties of the equiatomic NiTi SMA with composition (50% at. Ni, 50% at. Ti). Vacuum induction melting method used in the preparation of Both SMAs. The Differential Scanning Calorimetry, Scanning Electron Microscope, X-ray Diffraction Analysis, optical microscope and vicker’s microhardness test was used to investigate the characteristics of the equiatomic NiTi and NiTiCu SMAs. The results revealed that when Cu element was added the phase transformation temperatures decreased below body temperature. NiTi matrix phase and Ti2Ni secondary phase exist in both SMA samples, also Cu-rich phase appeared in NiTiCu SMA and this is one of the reasons that lead to increasing the microhardness of alloy when Cu element was added. The value of equiatomic NiTi increases from 238.74 to 329 when Cu element was added (for NiTiCu alloy) after heat treatment.

The research included anatomical study of cross sections of stems of eight species belonging to six genera, namely Aristida adscensionis, Avena barbata, Avena fatua, Eragrostis cilinensis, Polypogon monseplinsis, Schismus arabicus, Setaria glauca, Setaria verticillata from plants of the Poaceae family growing in the Western Desert of Iraq. The results showed that the quantitative and qualitative characteristics have greatly contributed to isolating the species depending on the cross-sectional diameter of the stem, which ranged between 1112-2185 μm. The sections also varied in terms of the presence of the core region (soild section) or the absence of it (hollow section). As for the sclerenchymal tissue, its cell numbers ranged between 2-9 rows, as well as the variation in thickness of this tissue between species. The same is the case with the Parenchyma tissue, which differed greatly between the types in terms of thickness and the type of tissue, which ranged between the ordinary Parenchymal tissue and the Chlorenchyma tissue, as well as the variation in the nature of the tissue between the regular annular and semi-annular or in the form of small, medium or large clusters. Most types contained two or three rows of bundels except for Avena barbata and Avena fatua, which contained only one row. The number of vascular bundles varied greatly between species, as well as their different in sizes and the different diameter of a single vessel.
