     Three hundred samples of stool were collected from children, who are suffering from diarrhea, during the period from October to December 2016 at Fatima Al Zahra and Shaheed al-Sadr hospitals. All bacterial isolates have been submitted to the cultural, microscopical, biochemical examinations, and Vitek 2 system identification to identify Aeromonas isolates. All the isolates under study were tested for their ability to the production of certain factors associated with virulence. It has been concluded that 12 (4%) of collected samples were positive to Aeromonas Spp. The virulence factors of Aeromonas spp. were detected and showed that all the isolates have the ability to produce haemolysin

     The purpose of the present study is to determine and compare the anticoagulants, Ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid, Sodium oxalate, Sodium citrate and heparin in blood samples of horse and bull, through estimation of (Hemoglobin, Packed Cell Volume and Plasma Platelets Count) and  plasma physical properties (clarity and volume) and some chemical properties (pH and calcium ion concentration). Five Blood samples were obtained from five stallions and five bulls (20 ml/sample) and were divided as 5 ml in four test tubes containing Ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid, sodium oxalate, sodium citrate and heparin at the College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Diyala. Hemoglobin and packed cell volume were esti

The effect of sub-clinical level of H. contortus infection (500 larvae/kg. bodyweight) over the lambing period and first 6 weeks of lactation on lambs birth weight, milk yield and composition were noted. This level of infection was significantly reflected (5%) on lamb birth weight, while lamb weight gain was not markedly affected. During lactation, infected ewes produced 14% less milk and this was highly significant at 1% level, despite the associated fall in egg count. Infected ewes showed a significant reduction (5%) in the milk protein percentage, while milk fat percentage was not substantially affected. Thus the ewe appears to be particularly susceptible to the effect of parasitism at this time.

In 120 hen eggs ( local eggs , hatching eggs and table eggs ) a bacteriological
pollution with high rate was observed by isolating 427 bacterial isolates from
which 199 isolates related to the egg's shell , 117 isolates related to albumen sac,
and 111 isolates related to yolk sac .
The Salmonella ssp isolates were the greater number (142 isolates) ,
Echerichia coli ( 138 isolates ) , Streptococcus ssp ( 89 isolated) and lately
Staphylococcus ssp ( 58 isolates ) which was never isolated from internal egg
components (Albumen Sac and yolk sac) .
The study explains that the shell of the egg is more contaminated than
Albumen Sac and yolk sac and that the table egg is more contaminated than the
other groups.

The effect of temperature and pH on the stability of the antibacterial

This study concerns with incidence of infection of gastro-intestinal
helminthes ( Nematode) in horses. Results revealed that the rate of parasitic
helminthes was 50.54%. The peak of Nematode infection was 86.6% in
Spring followed by 57.5% .during Autumn then the infection declined in
Summer and Winter to 33.73% and 22.5% respectively Four genera of
parasitic nematodes were identified the highest rate of infection with
Strongylus was recorded in horses 49.54% followed by Parascris 14.09%,
the lowest infection with Trichostrongylus and Oxyuris was 9.09 % and
7.72% respectively. Result revealed higher helminthes infections in females
57.05% than in males 39.7%.

Thirty two mice were used to study the histopathological changes resulted
from the effect of vitamin C on the some mice tissues treated with nitrate.
Mice were divided randomly in to four equal groups. The 1st group was given
Vit C and potassium nitrate via water. The 2nd group was given potassium nitrate
and the 3rd group received Vit C only, while the 4th group represented the
control.
Two animals from each group were scarified weekly. The results showed
similar pathological changes in the 1st and 2nd group especially in the stomach
and intestine which gave severe changes that characterized by hyperplastic
changes in addition for the hemorrhages and the infiltrations of inflammatory
cells in all layers of

This experiment includes 228 local Awassi ewes between 2 to 5 years
old. The aim of this experiment was to estimate the fetal age by
measurement of transthoracic, transabdominal, cotyledon length and width
during different period of gestation by using 5MHz real-time
ultrasonography. Linear, quadratic and cubic equations were described,
which adjust the relationship between the gestation age and each of
transthoracic, transabdominal, cotyledon length and width. Results indicated
that the quadratic equations of transthoracic and transabdominal were the
best equations; while the cubic equations of each of the cotyledon length and
width were the best equations to estimate the fetal age

The present study aimed to investigate the morphological features of the pancreas and duodenum of the adult males and females guinea pigs. Eight animals of each sex were collected to conduct this project. The selected organs were photographed in situ and macro morphometric measurements were conducted on them. Gross findings revealed that the pancreas of guinea pig was of compact type, of two lobes (right and left) connected by large central part (body). The organ drains the pancreatic secretion toward the last part of the ascending duodenum via minor pancreatic duct with absence of major pancreatic duct. The duodenum of the guinea pig was very short and V-shaped. The beginning of the duodenum contains duodena

This study aimed to examine the cytotoxic effect of resveratrol as an anticancer in human colorectal cancer (HRT) cell line by assessment of its half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) and its ability to inhibit the growth of these cancerous cells. Resveratrol inhibited the proliferation of HRT cell lines when used at different increased concentrations in this study (25, 50, 100, 200, and 300 μmol). These increased concentrations of resveratrol caused a corresponding significant inhibition in the growth percentage of the tested cancerous cell line (13%, 31.33%, 53.66%, 63.66 %, and 76.33%, respectively) when compared with DMSO0.1% as negative control, in a concentration-dependent manner.
