Abstract: Total no. of patient (100) stool samples were collected, during the period from February to the end of May of 2008, for children under two years old suffering from non-bloody and bloody diarrhea at (Children Welfare Teaching Hospital) in Baghdad.
The study evaluates the relationship between etiological agent of diarrhea and sex, age group, type of feeding, presence of blood in stool of the patients. All samples were examined microscopically to identify parasitic agent and serological test for Rotavirus to identify viral infection, also biochemical and serological tested for specimen's culture on different culture media and antibiotic sensitivity test.
Results show from 100 cases 64] represents the etiological agent of diarrhea and the most common of this agent was Rotavirus represent (37.5 %), respectively then Entamoeba histolytica (21.9 %), other agents were include Proteus (12.5 %), Enteropathogenic E.coli (10.9 %), Citrobacter braakii (7.8 %), Salmonella typhi (6.3 %), and Giardia lamblia (3.1 %). The remaining 36 isolates represent of unknown etiological agent for another's pathogen.
The prevalence ratio of infection in male (75.0 %) was more than in female (25.0 %), in the first year of age especially in the age group (0-6) months (42.2 %). children depending on artificial feeding represent about (57.8 %) higher natural and mixed feeding, the bloody diarrhea associated with Entamoeba histolytica (57.1 %) in contrast to some etiological agent of non-bloody diarrhea.
Eleven types of antibiotics were used for sensitivity test show all serotype of Enteropathogenic E.coli and Salmonella typhi are sensitive to Imipenem and Ciprofloxacin. The predominant serotypes of Enteropathogenic E.coli which represent serotype O111 and serotype O125 these strains show resistance to Cefotaxime (CTX), Trimethoprim-sulfamethaxazole (SXT), Ampicillin (AM), Metronidazole (MET), Cefoperazone (CEP), Cefixime (CFM), also the serotype O111 resistance to Gentamicin (CN) represent (45.0 %), while the most resistance of Salmonella was to Amikacin (100.0 %).
This may reflect the fact that the increased resistance in older children and adult may be associated with the development of immunity or the loss of receptors for some specific adhesion.
In Iraq Rotavirus infection is estimated to account for (10-29 %) in early childhood, While in neighboring countries the rate ranges between (19-46 %). The study show infected males more than female and the highest diarrheal infection was caused by Rotavirus, the Imipenem and Ciprofloxacin antibiotic was the most effective one against pathogenic strains of Enteropathogenic E.coli and Salmonella typhi while all isolates were resistant to Trimethoprim-Sulfamethaxazole, Ampicillin, Metronidazole.

Abstract: Newcastle disease (ND) has been concerned as one of the most important devastating diseases of poultry because of its wide range host of birds and worldwide distribution with severe economic losses in domestic poultry, due to the severe nature of the disease, ND is included as a list A disease.
Iraq has been endemic for Newcastle disease virus (NDV) with natural infection causing significant losses in the poultry industry since 1968 by the NDV/AG68 strain (AF001108) from infected chickens at Abu Graib in Iraq.
Currently, NDV genotype VII are most frequently associated with outbreaks of ND in the Middle East and Asia which have showed higher mortality in vaccinated poultry. The main objective of this study was to determine the biological and molecular characterization of the pathogenicity and genotyping followed by phylogenetic analysis. To evaluating the degree of genetic diversity of local isolated NDV strains and estimating the relationships to that NDV presence in the neighboring region, as well as preparation of inactivated vaccine against NDV from local strains was determine.
At the beginning, this study was carried out to isolate Newcastle disease virus (NDV) in naturally infected chickens of poultry farms in the north of Iraq. The study initiated diagnosis of 46 farms out of 96 broiler farms exhibited Newcastle disease (ND) (26 in Erbil, 14 in Sulaymanhia and 6 in Duhok) based on clinical signs corresponding with (8-15%) mortality and gross lesions of scarified chickens. The rapid test for detection NDV antigen from infected chickens for tracheal swab indicated that 32 farm samples were positive out of 46 initiative diagnosed farms.
Based on intiative diagnosis the identification of local isolates of NDV samples was pooled lung with trachea, spleen, cecal tonsil and intestine, were pooled in nine samples, then tissue homogenates were made from all samples in sterile Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) containing antibiotics, after centrifugation of tissue homogenates the supernatant fluids were assessed to real time reverse transcriptase- Polymerase Chain Reaction (RRT-PCR) assay. The results indicated that six
homogenate samples were positive for NDV and negative for Avian Influenza Virus.
After that, the remain supernatant fluids were used for virus isolation in embryonated chicken eggs then harvested allantoic fluids were used for employed for the hemagglutination activity. Six samples were showed positive results. Furthermore, virus identification was also performed by using conventional diagnostic methods such as Hemagglutination(HA) of red blood cells followed by Hemagglutination Inhibition (HI) test applying the prepared hyper immune serum(HIS) against NDV antigens to identify the NDV. The serological results demonstrated that six samples of NDV were positive, as well as the (rt-PCR) assay was performed for allantoic fluid to insure the presence of NDV using specific primers and probes to amplify specific region in the M gene of the viruses. The results revealed that six isolates were positive for NDV.
In addition, the pathogenicity of the six isolates was performed according to standard methods including Mean death times (MDT), Intra-cerebral pathogenicity index (ICPI) and Intra-venous pathogenicity index(IVPI), which revealed that six isolates were compatible to mesogenic (1/6) and velogenic (5/6) types.
At the second step, the molecular characterization of six isolates were investigated in Borehingher laboratory (Germany). The RT-PCR successfully amplified a 436 bp DNA fragment covering a part of the matrix (M) gene, fusion (F) gene (lentogenic) and fusion (F) gene (subgenotype VIIi) from all six isolates (NDV). The result was indicated that 5/6 were positive for velogenic NDV strain of genotype VIIi and 1/6 were negative. The nucleotide sequences of F gene were also determined, where the portion of the F2 gene of five isolates compared with that of other NDV strains retrieved from GenBank. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the isolates NDV belong to genotypes VIIi.
However, in local laboratory the result of FAST one-step quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) successfully amplified a 525 bp fragment covering a part of the fusion (F1) gene and 515 bp fragment covering a part of the fusion (F2) gene from all six isolates. The nucleotide sequences of the PCR product of E1, S1 and S2
were found in F1 gene, while E1, E2, S1, S2, and D2 found in F2 gene out of six NDV isolates. Those results were compared with other NDV strains which retrieved from GenBank. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the Iraqi isolates are belonging to genotypes VII.
Finally, Inactivated vaccine was prepared locally using Velogenic NDV genotype VIIi isolate as a seed virus ELD50/0.1ml109 then compared with a commercial inactivated vaccine in an experimental study. This study was conducted by purchasing 120 broiler chicks and divided into three equal groups. Group 1 as unvaccinated control group , G2 for commercial vaccine and G3 for local vaccine), G2 and G3 were injected s/c with inactivated vaccine at 3 days old followed by a booster dose with LaSota live vaccine eye drop. Indirect ELISA technique was used to measure of antibody titer at ages 7, 17 and 27 days old (pre-challenge), the result showed at 7 days-old were (4251±1078) for all groups, and at 17 days-old were (906±33, 844±153 and 1145±219) for G1, G2 and G3 respectively. There were significant differences (p

The study dealt with finding the frequency distribution of ABO, Lewis and MNS blood groups .The findings indicated that there was an increase in the frequency of B blood groups (patients 33.3% versus 29% in control, P<0.05). On the other hand however, A gave no significant difference in the patients compared to control. O blood group frequency gave a decreased frequency in patients compared to controls,(24.7% in patients vs. 31% in healthy controls , P<0.05).A noticeable increase in the frequency of Le(a - b - ) was seen in patients (30.7% in patients vs. 18% in controls, P<0.05), However, Le(a - b+) demonstrated a relatively decreased frequency in patients compared to controls, While Le(a+b - ) showed no differences in frequency.In MNS blood groups, NN frequency gave a statistically significant difference ,with a frequency of 19.2% in patients vs 11% in healthy controls.The immunological status in patients and controls was studied, based on a newly developed quantitative criterion (Anti - bovine antibody titers among patients and controls). It was seen that A and B blood groups were among the ones that gave an increased anti - bovine antibody titers giving a mean titers of (43.6 ± 46.6 and 61.9 ± 148.9) in patients vs. (5.6 ± 5.4 and 15.3 ± 25.7) in healthy controls respectively.The increased anti - bovine antibody titers were associated with Le(a - b - ) blood group, That was (59.5 ± 67.2) in patients vs. (6.2 ± 5.8) in healthy control, (P< 0.01).On the other hand however, anti - bovine antibody titers in Le(a+b - ) was (57.6 ± 75.9) in patients vs. (7.7 ± 7.7) in healthy controls, (P< 0,01), While Le(a - b+) gave an opposite titer of (43.7 ± 117.9) in patients vs (108.3 ± 559.7) in healthy control,(P<0.01).The role of secretory gene in the anti - bovine antibody titers distribution was studied among patients . Secretors gave a mean titer of (72.6 ± 77.02) compared to (54.3 ± 63.5) in non secretors.The healthy secretors gave a mean titer of (6.0 ± 7.02) compared to a mean titer of (6.4 ± 5.3) in healthy controls, (P <0.01).NN blood groups gave an anti - bovine antibody mean titer of (38.4 ± 47.02)in patients in respect to a mean titer of (8.7 ± 9.4)in healthy controls, (P <0.01).A relatively high risk was demonstrated among some blood groups.The novel results were discussed based on gathered available immunological data in the subject of atherosclerosis and unstable angina .
