In regard to broiler diseases in Sulaimani district, different factors like
environmental temperature, humidity, wind velocity, the source of hatchery eggs
and day-old chicks were studied. The study involved the history, some
concurrent diseases, methods of protection against viral diseases, clinical signs,
post mortem lesions, isolation and identification methods (cultural and
biochemical) and sensitivity test. The 4th and 5th weeks ages were the
exposed ages for respiratory diseases, precisely Escherichia coli infection. The
temperature factor (high and low) was among the most prominent predisposing
factors, since 39% and 30% of E.coli isolates obtained through winter and
summer seasons successively. The low

This study was concerned on the production of Bacillus anthracis
toxin and its use as a vaccine. Two groups of guinea pigs were
immunized with the toxin which was given in a dose of 0.5 ml
subcutaneously to the 1st group while the animals of the 2nd group were
immunized by instillation in the nose 4 drops into each naris. The two
groups were given booster dose 14 days after the 1st dose. The immunized
and control animals were bled by cardiac puncture 20 days after the
booster dose.
In the present study, anthraxin was used as an antigen in Enzyme
Linked Immuno Sorbant Assay (ELISA) to measure the optical density
(OD) obtained from adminsteration of vaccine in two different routes.

     This study was designed to investigate the correlation of various stress factors (PH, moisture contents, temp., and soil texture) on the ability of E.coli OI57:H7 to persist on/in soil on a dairy farm reared under field conditions at the college of Agriculture /University of Bagdad. The prevalence of E. coli O157:H7 in soil samples was determined for the period January to June 2012. The surface kinetics of E.coli O157:H7 onto the soil (surface kinetics), were theoretically achieved by dividing the farm into 3 zones starting from the fens (Z1),5m, and 10 m (Z5, and Z10, respectively) from the farm in three direction (right, left and rear of the farm) . While the depth kinetics were achie

     This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of seasons on serum testosterone level, testis histology examination and testosterone receptors by using cytoimmunochemistry techniques. Samples of blood and both testes were collected from 24 local dogs aged between 2-3 years and weighted 18-22 kg. This study carried out at 2015, divided into four seasons. No differences in testosterone level were observed between seasons. However, histological examinations were characterized by significant (P<0.01) changes during seasons in tubular diameters, germinal thickness and tubular area. Cytoimmunochemistry investigation showed differences between seasons also, there was a distributions of testosterone hormone receptors

It is well known that monotherapy does not provide therapeutic response in all hypertensive. Some
patients show an excellent response, while in others there is a poor response. Combination
antihypertensive therapy is administered when blood pressure is inadequately controlled by
monotherapy to achieve a balanced and additive antihypertensive effect with minimum adverse effects.
Both angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and dihydropyridine type of calcium antagonists
are well established and widely used in monotherapy. An understanding of differences in the
mechanism of action of these agents allows a logical approach for the use of these agents as a
combination therapy. This study was designed to evaluate t
