Background: Reliable detection the etiological agent of amoebic dysentery and extra-intestinal amoebiasis have Public health importance specially in asymptomatic human and animals, Since the acquisition of pet dogs in the recent period has become widespread in our city. Aim: To give correct perception of infection rate in asymptomatic individuals (human and domestic dogs) for the first aspect and about detection and diagnosis of the pathogenic species of Entamoeba histolytica from another morphologically similar and commensal one using the molecular technique in stool samples of asymptomatic individuals the second aspect. Methods: During the study period from the beginning of September 2020 to the end of February 2021, a total of 95 stool sample was collected from asymptomatic 71 male and 24 female ages between 20-45 years old also 50 fecal samples of asymptomatic domestic dogs (male) belongs to some patients regardless of the breed were in counter. Results: Microscopic and molecular diagnosis for E.histolytica was done using traditional wet mount method and Real Time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) employing phospholipase gene respectively. The result highlighted the microscopic diagnosis of cyst stage in 33 asymptomatic patient out of 95 (34.73%) with significant differences P<0.05 between males 22/71(66.66%) and females 11/24 (33.33%). For domestic dogs, 9 out of 50 samples (18%) were detected as positive. On the other hand the molecular diagnosis results showed presence of E.histolytica in 10 sample out of 33 (30.3%) with non significant differences P>0.05 between males 7/22 (31.81%) and females 3/11 (27.27%) while for domestic dogs no positive results were recorded. Conclusion: The presence of the pathogen E.histolytica in asymptomatic patients. The microscopic examination of stool sample show a possibility of error to differentiate pathogenic E. histolytica from those of morphologically similar non-pathogenic species lead to inaccurate results therefore, the molecular methods must be adopted for diagnosis. Domestic dogs do not pose a risk of transmitting E.histolytica infection but it can transmit other types of pathogens.

Vaginal biopsies and smears were collected from ten adult local healthy goats. Routine histological methods were carried out on vaginal biopsies and then stained with PAS stain. The smears were stained with Methylene blue. All samples were inspected under light microscope. The present study found that many constituents of the wall of the vagina, which have an important functional role, were absent; among these were the vaginal glands, goblet cells, muscularis mucosa, and lymphatic nodules. On the other hand, vagina showed special compensatory histological mechanisms, namely, the deep epithelial folds, the well-developed germinated stratum basale, the apparent basement membrane, and the profuse defensive cells, such as neutrophils, m

The present study has been carried out to estimate heavy metals mobility, bioconcentration and transfer from polluted soil to roots tissues and from roots tissues to aerial parts using bioconcentration factor and translocation factor. Soil samples and the biomass of the eight vegetable species have been collected during summer season, 2019 from four different sites in Wadi Al-Arg, Taif Governorate, KSA. In general, heavy metals content of soil samples in site III and IV have recorded elevated values compared with those of site I and II. The soil from site IV has shown the highest concentration of Mn, Ni, Cr, Pb, Cu, and Cd amounted 31.63, 14.05, 13.56, 22.79, 31.02 and 2.98 mg/kg dry soil respectively, while the soil from site III has sh

Nowadays, many new technologies developed in a lot of countries. These technologies are promising in many areas such as environmental monitoring, precision agriculture as well as in animal production. The purpose of this study was to define a better understanding of how new and advanced technologies affect the agriculture and livestock sector alike. Although agriculture and animal husbandry are among the most important sectors, advanced equipment and information technology cannot be used adequately. This situation leads to low production efficiency. It is also known that there can be a significant difference in temperature between the position of the climate control sensor (room temperature) and the area occupied by the animal. This study e

Evaluate the acute and chronic toxicity of Ruta Chalepensis aerial part aqueous extract used in folk medicine in Iraq in Albino Wistar male and female rats. The study of chronic toxicity at the doses 100, 300 and 600mg/kg body weight in male and female rats for 90 days, recorded no mortality. Treated animals showed a normal weight change compared with control. The parameters of male fertility showed a significant decrease in the weight of testis, epididymis and seminal vesicle as well as a reduction in the number and the motility of spermatozoids at treated groups by the doses 300 and 600 mg/kg body weight compared to control group.
The Shiite religious authority in Iraq has played an active and vital role over its long history in promoting values of tolerance, rejecting extremism, advocating unity and confronting external challenges. This role has increased significantly after 2003 as a result of the great challenges that have passed in Iraq. Despite its clear policy of non-interference in political matters, except in cases of necessity, but the great role it played in maintaining national unity and advocating the rejection of extremism and sectarianism has made it a necessary need in Iraq to confront any deviations, dispersions or threats that affect society and the state. Therefore, its role in the process of reform was prominent on the political level by calling

The study aims to study the geographical distribution of electricpower plants in Iraq, except the governorates of Kurdistan Region (Dohuk, Erbil, Sulaymaniyah) due to lack of data.
In order to reach the goal of the research was based on some mathematical equations and statistical methods to determine how the geographical distribution of these stations (gas, hydropower, steam, diesel) within the provinces and the concentration of them as well as the possibility of the classification of power plants in Iraq to facilitate understanding of distribution in a scientific manner is characterized by objectively.
The most important results of the research are that there are a number of factors that led to the irregular distribution
