An outbreak of avian influenza (AI) (H9N2) occurred in broiler, layers and
breeder chicken farms in Iraq during 2004-2007. Mortality between 30% and
70% in broilers and 5% and 10% in layers and breeders were commonly
observed on the affected farms. Mixed infections of the influenza virus with
other respiratory pathogens particularly Newcastle Disease (ND) virus and
Infectious Bronchitis (IB) virus were thought to be responsible for such high
mortality. ELISA test was used to detect ND, AI and IB antibodies. Clinical
signs included , decrease feed consumption, swelling of the face and typical
severe respiratory signs. Gross lesions included extensive hyperemia of the
respiratory system, cheesy exudates in the tr

Mosquitoes are vectors of various life-threatening diseases like malaria, yellow fever, dengue fever etc. Their close proximity to human habitations allows ease for disease transmission. They have been identified by key morphological tools like their wings, legs, bristles etc. but closely related species are difficult to identify based on morphology. Molecular tools have, therefore, been employed to help with the more accurate identification. This study was aimed at identifying and characterizing different mosquito species in five different states in North-Central Nigeria using internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) and mitochondrial 16S rDNA regions. Mosquito larvae were collected from stagnant water in breeding places at each collection
