Out of 704 sheep examined from three provinces (Baghdad, Hilla and Diala) in the central part of Iraq, 323(45.88%) were infected with Theileria  hirci, 80 (11.36%) with Anaplasma ovis and 19(2.70%) with Babesia motasi. The percentage of sheep infected with Th. Hirci was much higher (P < 0.01) than those with A. ovis and B. motasi. The rate of infection with Th. hirci and A. ovis but not B. motasi increased with advancing age. There was no significant (P>0.05) difference in the rate of infection between males and females

A systemic study on the pathogenesis of experimentally induced
Salmonella typhimurium infection was carried out in calves. Sixteen normal,
colostrum-fed, friesian calves, ranging in age from 3 to 6 weeks were used. The
calves were divided into two equal groups. Group I calves were inoculated
orally with 1.5 x 1011 CFU of Salmonella typhimurium and group II calves
served as control.
Using an indirect fluorescent antibody technique, it was found that
Salmonella typhimurium has an apparent predilection for the small intestine
particularly jejunum and ileum. The results of this study suggest that this
technique can be considered as a rapid reliable technique for diagnosis of
salmonellosis in endemic outbreaks.

Morphological variation in helminthes parasites is a well- established phenomenon and may have many
sources and important taxonomic implications. The morphological differences between the two isolates of
Echinococcus granulosus were the dimensions of worm total length , number of the developing segment ,
testes distribution , details of the cirrus sac and position of genital pore .The results of present study indicate
that there is a form of the parasite is adapted to donkey and other in camel have some differences in
morphological also biological features not tackled in the present work .Genetic study is required for strain
detection for clarification of the situation in a country .

This study was undertaken to evaluated vaccinating pregnant cows with "coligen" produced by "Fort Dedge Co." against colibacillsosis in newly born calves. The vaccine was given twice in the last two months of pregancy. Another group of pregnant cows were used as a control. Titration of antibodies was done in the sera and colostrum of the vaccinated and controlled animals and also in the sera of the newly born calves. There was significant rising in antibodies (P<0.01)in the vaccinated animals. These antibodies were protective. Calves receiving colostrum from vaccinated animals were to a certain degree protected aginst colibacillosis. Challenge experiment showed that 36 out of 43 calf of the control group developed diarrheal condition

Four Friesian bulls 3-6 Years old four Friesian heifers 18-24months old were used in this study. Three bulls were injected with 3 ml 3 davs old Mycoplasma bovigenitalium strain AL culture. One bull served as a control which recived broth only. Mycoplasma bovigenitalium organisms serologically similar to the injected strain was isolated from the experimental bulls. All the bullsshowed clinical signs of seminal vesiculitis with varying degress. Two of the infected bulls were left to service 4 clean virgin heifers for four months. All heigers required more than three services to concieve. Mycoplasma bovigenitalium serologically similar to the experimental strain was isolated from three cows at different periods.
