Soil samples are collected from different regions included agricultural, non - agricultural, salty, sandy and carbonate soil, purified 200 fungal isolates randomly and tested the antagonism with a number of pathogenic microorganisms . The 200 fungal isolates are tested by primary screening method to determine their ability to inhibit in vitro Pathogenic gram positive and negative bacteria and pathogenic fungi. The primary screening illustrate that 72 isolate were able to inhibition 3≤ pathogenic organisms. These isolates were tested to determine the acid productivity which found that only 13 were non - acid production and 59 isolate are product in different concentration. The acids producing isolates are excluded from the study because the rate of acid led to killing of test pathogenic microorganism .The selected isolates are non - acid productive and most effective in the inhibition of test pathogenic microorganism with a wide range. The samples are morphologically identified using the electron microscope and different diagnostic agricultural media (PDA, CYA, MEA), either molecular diagnosis of isolates have been using ITS1 and, ITS4 primer to amplify the Internal transcribed spacer region, the morphological and molecular identification results of the isolates showed that it belongs to Aspergillus fumigatus and Trichoderma longibrachiatum. The sensitivity results illustrate that the isolates 104 and S4 are the strongest in the production on potatoes peals solid media in compared with liquid residues media under the optimal production condition including temperature, hydrogen power and time of production. Results show that the isolated antimicrobial compounds were broad - spectrum against both G+ve and G - ve bacteria so it has been tested its effectiveness against a group of pathogenic yeasts and molds isolated from laboratories of Babylon hospitals.When comparing the results obtained with the results of pharmaceutical antibiotics found that the effect of the product exceeds the effect of Tetracycline, Amikacin, Ampicillin, Gentamycin, in addition to significantly impact on a range of pathogenic molds. The highest inhibition zone is obtained due to the isolation of S4 against the bacteria Bacillus seraus with diameter 43.35mm after the incubation the isolates on the potato peals solid media for 9 days at a temperature of 30 ◦C. These diameter is higher than the inhibition zone of Meropenem antibiotics against the same bacteria.Other aspects of this study include an extracted of the active compounds from the fermentation media using ethyl acetate and distilled water and then purifying the compound using thin layer chromatography(TLC) technique. Also it has been diagnosed the active compounds using the following chemical analysis (FTIR, HNMR and CHNS) to illustrated the type of effective compound.

Abstract: The present study included four axis, the aim of which is to reveal the histological and morphological changes in the caecum of birds and mammals in relation to the effect of food on it, The result, showed the following. The 1st axis includes a laboratory study on the (Starnus vulgarus) since it is omnivorous birds and has the ability to change its natural feeding very fast, The aim of the experiment is to show the effect of food on the length of the small intestine and caecum. Thus, 25 birds were dissecting. The experiment lasted 40 days. The results showed that there was moral differences in the sum of body weight, small intestine length, caecum length and thickness, in both herbivorous and carnivorous feeding groups. The average body weight of the herbivorous feeding group was (60.04 ± 11.72)gm as compared with (70.48 ± 6.37)gm for the carnivorous feeding group .There was a moral differences in the length of the small intestine and caecum in both groups of birds. The average length of herbivorous group was (27.56 ± 3.61)cm as compared with (22.90 ± 1.50)cm in the other group. There was moral differences the length of caecum of both groups. The average length in the herbivorous group was (5.91 ± 1.38)cm . compared with(1.27 ± .22)mm in the other group. The amount of vegetable food consumption was much more 73 gm/day than that of the animal food 23 gm/day. The histological studies of the caecum of the Starnus vulgarus revealed that there was amoral differences in the thickness of the lumen of the herbivorous feeding and carnivorous feeding in herbivorous was(83.00 ±3.70) while in carnivorous was(21.5 ± 2.85) .The thickness of the muscular layer in the herbivorous feeder was(2.07 ±27.60 ) compared with(5.20 ± 1.92) in the other group. The 2nd axis includes a histological and morphological studies on the caecum of two different species of birds namely Anas platyrhynchos herbivorous bird and Falcon peregrinus carnivorous bird . It was found that there was amoral differences in small intestine length, caecum length and thickness between the two groups. The rate of small intestine length in duck was(8.14 ± 1.37) cm while that of the hawk measured(25.04 ± 1.35)cm. It was noticed that the length of caecum in the duck was (11.68 ± 1.54)cm as compared with(0.40±0.08)cm in the hawk. The thickness of the caecum in the duck was (0.67 ± 0.14)cm as compared with (0.17 ± 0.04)cm in the hawk. Histologically. There was amoral differences in the lumen thickness and muscular layer. Thus, the thickness of lumen in the duck was(467.50±33.21) while that in the hawk was(141.00±6.754) . The thicken of muscular layer in the duck was (20.20±6.37) while that in the hawk was(6.40±2.07) . The third axis includes a morphological and histological study of appendix of the rabbit to reveal the effect of food on it. It was noticed that the average weight of the body was (1100.05 ± 1.86)gm and the length of the small intestine was (36.51 ± 2.17)cm and the length of the appendix was (8.32 ± 1.27)cm and the thickness of the appendix was(0.61 ± 0.19)mm.the link among the small intestine and appendix length , appendix length and thickness was studied, too. It was that observed appositive correlation among the small intestine and appendix length , among appendix length and thickness, the correlation index among the small intestine and appendix length was(0.4) while that among the appendix length with its thickness was(0.5). Histologically, it was noticed that the appendix of the rabbit made of four layers namely, mucosa, sub mucosa , muscularis and serosa. It was also found that there was aplenty of goblet cell inside the simple columnar epithelial tissue of appendix lumen. It was also noticed that there was some kind of cells called endocrine(entero endo crino cyte), and that there was a massive spread of lymphoid follicles. The fourth axis : It includes a histological comparative study between the normal and infected appendix in human. The normal appendix of the human composed of four layers namely mucosa, sub mucosa, muscular and serosa. It was noticed that there was an intensive spread of goblet cell with in the simple columnar epithelial. It was also noticed that there was a presence of crypts of liberikuhn with in mucosa layer with widely spread to lymphocytes with in mucosa and sub mucosa layer. In the condition of inflamed appendix it was found large deformation in all layers. The information start in the internal lining of the appendix which is the mucosa layer then the information spread later to the other part.

Although it is not deadly disease, but not have more attention and research worldwide. This study was aimed for isolation, identification and investigation of antifungal susceptibility of dermatophytes and Candida also isolation and identification of bacteria associated with hairs dandruff. During the period from September to June a total of 280 sample of scalp and hair and smear were collected from Hilla hospital private clinics and primary schools in rural areas in the Province of Babylon (n=152 hair samples, n= 74 dandruff samples, n= 54 smear from head scalp) and samples was also collected as 30 control samples. Every effort not referred to source it from researcher effort. Samples cultured on Sabouroud Dextrose Agar (SDA) medium with or without Cyclohexemide based on stander cultured methods, incubation and identification, Primary identification of Candida has been achieved on CHROMagar medium to differential between Candida spp. based on colors. Also it was investigation about dermatophytes through cultivation on Sabouroud Dextrose Agar containing Cyclohexomide to get isolates of dermatophytes, as well as assess the presence of fungus saprophytic with samples under study.Virulence factors for the yeast were detected. Fungal identification based on amplification internal transcript spacer (ITS) region by using ITS5/ITS4, ITS3/ITS4 primers and subject the PCR product to sequence analysis (DNA sequence) for representative samples groups at Micro gene laboratory in US. Sequence analysis based on alignment with data base of reference strains in the gene bank (Blast Nucliotide Database (NCBI) program). phylogeny tree was construction on the basis of the results of the sequence data.Results showed conventional and molecular diagnosis by used ITS5/ITS4 and ITS3/ITS4 primer was band weight integration to ITS region range between 500 - 800 bp. while range weight for ITS2 region between 350 - 400 bp.The results showed that advanced molecular assays were powerful tools for fungal identification compare with the conventional methods. For the first time in Iraq Two isolates from C.sake and one isolate from Issatchenkia orientalis, also three isolates Aurobasidium iranianum and one isolates from Cryptococcus fonsecae and one isolates from Cryptococcus diffluens were recorded.Evaluating the effectiveness of microbial for some medically important plant extracts and compared with the antifungal and assess the minimum inhibitory concentration by used E - Test strips. As it has been cleared bacterial species accompanying to samples under study microscopically and biochemically during cultured on differential medium like manitol salt agar and blood agar base media.C.albicans isolates positive results for germ tube, growth in the presence of Cyclohexomide and growth in temperature 45C˚. C.kruzei, C.parapsilosis, C.glabrata ability composition of biofilms, while phospholipase assay was positive to C.albicans, C.parapisilosis and C.kruzei. Lipase assay was positive to C.albicans, C.tropicalis, C.parapsilosis. As well as conducted test for dermatophytes which include ability of Trichophyton rubrum on growth on SDA with NaCl of 5 % and dermatophytes growth on PDA and produce inverse dye. The results showed that aqueous extracts were reduced the growth of dermatophytes and Candida. The aqueous extract of Cloves more effective in inhibition of dermatophytes, Candida and Rhodotorulla at ≥ 0.05 followed by green tea and Eucalyptus, Cinnomomum, Henna. Moreover 8% concentration was more effective than other concentrations.Tested antifungal sensitivity for some Fluconazole and Caspofungin antifungal using E - Test strips. Showed that dermatophytes, Candida and Rhodotorulla was reveals resistance action against antifungals.Staph.aureus and Staph.epidermidis showed Congo red test and ability for biofilms formation.The study concluded that the hair dandruff is important hair problem, many yeast with the hair loss together may be behind them groups from fungi and bacteria accused in events such as typhoid and used of plant extracts was effected in signification in fungi growth that test under effect this natural products and the absence pharmaceutical activity to best antibiotic such as Fluconazole and Caspofungin. Morphologically identified isolates based on the cell shapes of Candida spp. and their color on CHROMagar isn’t feasible to successfully differentiate between members of the Candida spp. Therefore, identification of Candida and dermatophytes base on ITS region saves time (it takes 2 to 3 days) and is accurate and applicable even to isolates with atypical morphological features.

Abstract: The present study includes the isolation and identification of some mycoflora from 40 soil samples in six places ( Remnants of fat - born, parks, edges of the river, animal wastes, sewage and rubbish) during October 2015 - January 2016 in Nasseriya City, Iraq. According to different environmental factors, the isolated genera were Aspergillus, Penicillium, Mucor, Rhizopus, Cladosporium, Sepedonium chrysospermum, Alternaria chlamydospora, Bipolaris, Chrysosporium, Candida albicans, Rhododendron flavum, Humicola, Geotrichum candidum, Fusarium and Acremonium. Three isolation methods were used. Dilution method, direct plate method, alcohol and heat treatment technique using the cultural media viz. Potato Dextrose Agar ( PDA), Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) and Potato Carrots Agar (PCA). Aspergillus represented the highest fungal isolates which represent 62 (37.12%). followed by Penicillium with 47 (28.14%), Mucor 22 (13.16%), Rhizopus 15 (8.98%), Cladosporium 6 (3.59%), Sepedonium chrysospermum and Alternaria chlamydospora, 3 (1.80%), Biopolaris, Chrysosporium and Candida albicans with 2 (1.20%), and finally Rhododendron flavum, Humicola, Acremonium, Fusarium and Geotrichum candidum recorded the lowest fungal isolation with one isolate for each (0.60%). The study was aimed to isolation of Penicillium from soil and assay its antibacterial activity. The results showed that dilution method gave a best fungal growth in comparison with direct plate method and alcohol and heat treatment technique in 25 ºC and pH = 6. PDA appeared as an optimum medium for isolation in comparison with other media such as SDA and PCA. The preliminary results showed that Penicillium sp. exerted antibacterial activity against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria; Therefore, this fungus was used for production of antibiotic on Potato Dextrose Broth (PDB) medium. The optimum conditions were obtained at pH = 6, incubation temperature of 25 ºC and shaking rate of 180 rpm for 7 days to fermentation. Ethyl acetate was a good organic solvent to extraction of antibiotic which produced (3g/L) as white to creamy crystals. The characterization of the antibiotic product after extraction and purified by chemical methods included Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) test, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectra and Mass Spectra. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) for clinical bacterial species was 1 - 10mg/ml.The PCR method used in this study utilized Internal transcribed spacer (ITS1 - 4) as a primer for identification of isolates. Two PCR products of the targeted gene of Penicillium chrysogenum isolates which locally named as (Penicillium chrysogenum F1 and Penicillium chrysogenum F2) were selected and subjected to partial DNA sequencing for the ITS gene to follow up the possible molecular relationship between these local isolates and what recorded globally in Genbank.

Abstract: Burn injuries are considered as health problems that may sometimes lead to rapid death. Bacteria are considered as the most important causes of microbial infection associated with burns. In present study, 75 clinical samples were collection from patients with burns for the period from October 2015 to June 2016 from the lobby burns in Sadr Teaching Hospital in the Maysan Governorate, these burn swabs revealed 56 bacterial isolates, 41 (73.21%) were Gram - negative bacterial, distributed of (35.71%) Pseudomonas aeruginosa, (28.57%) Klebsella Pneuomonia, (3.57%) Escherichia coli ,Enterobacter (5.35%). On the other hand 6(10.71%)were Gram - positive bacterial. out of 75 burned swabs, 84% revealed a single pathogens and 16% shown a mixed bacteria. On the other hand, Antimicrobial susceptibility for the bacterial burn isolates revealed that P. aeruginosa was resistant to routine tested antibiotics, like Amoxicillin, Gentamycin and Tobramycin in 100%, While was resistance to Ciprofloxacin 85%, while most P. aeruginosa was sensitive to Ceftizmiden in 50%. Results also showed that Staph. aureus was resistant to Gentamycin, Tobramycin, and Levofloxacin in 50% respectively.Depending on the rate of injury burns microbial and resistance to antibiotics used, p.aeruginosa and Staph.aureus isolated from the burnswere chosen and study their role in the events of infection, experimental burns, and for this purpose has been the use Albino mouse male as a model for a pilot study for pathogenesis and progress associated with the infection of the disease bacterial burns. (33) male mice were divided into tow groups, the first group(24) mice were burned (deep dermal second degree) and infection by 0.2X108 cfu kg of elected isolates, the route of infection was subcutaneously and scratching within burned area. In the second group six were infected without burn, which was considered as positive control, while in the thirdgroup three mice were burned and injected by 0.2ml of normal saline and consider as negative control .the first group was subdivided into two subgroups (12) mices for each burn dominant pathogens, then divided into subgroups each of six mices and following up (3,7, days intervals post infection process). P.aeruginosa burned mice group, shown skin infection more progressive and more severity in comporning with group infected by Staph. aureus, In addition, they were significant increases in the body temperature of all infection burned mice group(p.value)compared with those pre - infection process. Reisolation of bacteria from infection mice organs revealed, that high percentages in experimental p.aeruginosa burned model comparison with Staph. aureus.Diagnosed bacterial isolates by API 20and Vitek compact system, in addition to molecular diagnostics using PCR technique for the detection of 16S rRNA gene, All isolates showed a positive result of this gene. The amplified 16S rRNA gene seguence was compared with the seguence in NCBI seguence database.the bacterial strain identified as P.aeruginosa EPSI. This study reflects the usefulness of sequence analysis of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene in identifying bacteria and determining bacterial diversity. Various techniques that are based on utilizing the 16S rRNA gene are discussed. Of critical importance is the use of massively parallel sequencing to study bacterial diversity. Through massively parallel sequencing which is replacing traditional methods of bacterial identification; various bacterial habitats are surveyed to compile their species compositions.

All those individuals were suffering from diarrhea and abdominal pain. This study included the microscopic identification of Entamoeba Spp. using direct wet amount and concentration techniques in order to diagnose both Trophozoite and cyst stages of the parasite. The result revealed that 1050 (26.86%) of the collected samples were infected with Entamoeba Spp. Out of these infected samples, 80 were randomly selected for further confirmation by conventional PCR and 18S rRNA. Using this method, 28 (35%) was recorded to have Entamoeba Spp. Positive samples from conventional PCR were further examined by Nested PCR for species specific identification. The result of this method showed the presence of two species, E. histolytica (39.29%) and E. dispar (39.29%).Positive samples for molecular examination (28) were then examined by Real time PCR in order to verify and confirm the molecular results. Two probes were used, Histolytica - 96 Tfor E. histolytica and Dispar - 96 T for E. dispar. A significant difference was observed between two methods. E. histolytica was found to be higher percentage followed by E. dispar and then Entamoeba Spp., 53.57%, 39.29% and 7.14% respectively. The Real time PCR reported mono - infection with E. histolytica in 45.5% and with E. dispar in 27.2%, whereas reported mixed infections by both parasites in 27.3%. Red blood cells (RBCs) were detected in 80% E. histolytica positive samples and in 54.55% E. dispar positive ones.The environmental factors and their correlation with Entamoeba Spp. prevalence were also included in this study. The infection prevalence based on the seasonal variation showed significant differences P≤ 0.05. Summer recorded the highest infection prevalence whereas the lowest was in the winter, 37.06% and 14.14% respectively. Regarding the infection in age groups, the highest percentage (30.5%) was recorded in under 3 years old group and the lowest (17.13%) was found in above 10 years old one. However, no significant difference P≤ 0.05 was observed between these age groups. Furthermore, no significant differences were recorded betweenpatient’s sex. Entamoeba Spp. infection (37.98%) appeared to be higher in children who belong to families with low standard of living compared to those who are from families that earning a higher income (10.11%). A Similar pattern was found in Entamoeba Spp. prevalence based on the number of the patient’s family members. Higher prevalence and significant difference were reported (39.95%) in patients who belong high family member (above 10), compared to those from 3 - 5family member (8.54%).One hundred and fifty blood samples from infected children with Entamoeba Spp. and fifty samples from healthy children as a control were collected during the present study in order to observe the change in blood picture and parameters between two groups. Significant differences were reported in blood hemoglobin (10.16%) and volume of packed RBCs (34.7%) in the infected group compared to 12.34% and 39.10% in the control group. Total leukocyte count was found to be significantly higher in the infected group (11.3) compared to the individuals in the control group (3.37). Differential leukocyte count also showed significant differences in Neutrophils (6.92%, 4.03), eosinophils (0.61, 0.17), monocytes (1.19,0.93) and lymphocytes (2.19, 2.76) in infected and control groups respectively.

Abstract: This study included 3 stages. In the first stage, Toxoplasma gondii was isolated from aborted women placenta who visited Bent Al - Huda hospital and Al - Shatra hospital after confirmation of the prescence of parasite by impression smear method. Then parasite uspension injected 0.3 ml which contain 100 cyst intraperitoneally (174 rat) to 87 male and 87 female rats, inaddition to control group 30 rat (15 male and 15 female). After 10 days of injection, diagnosed the acute infection by Real - Time Poplymerase Chain Reaction(Real - Time PCR) and showed 97.70% (170 infected rat and 4 noninfected rat) , in male 96.55% (84 infected rat and 3 noninfected) ,in female 98.85% (86 infected rat and 1 noninfected) . After 2months of infection 84 animals (42 males and 42 females)were sacrificed, dissected (brain, testis and ovary ) were isolated to confirm the occurance of chronic infection with the using Real - Time PCR. The incidence of infection was 100% in brain males and ovary females and recorded 71.43% in testis and 90.48% in brain females. So diagnosed infection by impression smear method, identified the amount of DNA of the parasite T. gondii by using Real - Time PCR. The use of the remaining number of animals within the following experiments.The second stage included effect of experimental Toxoplasmosis infection and some drugs on fertility 168 rat (84 male and 84 female). Animals were subdivided into 6 groups for each group included 14 rat : (First group) non infected treated by DMSO, (Second roup) non infected treated by Sulfadiazine, (Third group) non infected treated by Pyrimethamine, (Fourth group) infected treated by DMSO, (Fifth group) infected treated by Sulfadiazine and (Sixth group) infected treated by Pyrimethamine.The current study results revealed prominent effect of T. gondii infection on the hormonal level in both males and females. T. gondii infection induced significant decline in Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Testosterone levels in nfected male compared with non infected males treated by DMSO. Sulf. and Pyr. treatment significantly elevated the level of these hormones (P <0.01) in infected males compared with fourth group similar to levels its in first group. Toxoplasmosis in female rats significantly decrease FSH, LH, Estrogen and Progesterone levels in compared with first group, while treating of infected females with Sulf. and Pyr. didn,t improve the declined levels of these hormones in infected and noninfected females comparedwith fourth and first group, respectively.The study showed that Toxoplasmosis in male rats induced significant decline in the sperm count in the epididymal cauda, sperm viability and relative weights of male sexual organs with an increase in sperm malformation ratio in infected male compared with first group. Treatment with Sulf. and Pyr. in infected male significanthy elevated the sperm count and viability (P<0.05), compared with fourth group. Sulf. didn,t induced further significant changes, but Pyr. induced further significant increase in sperm malformation ratio in infected (P< 0.01) and non infected (P<0.05) rats. The study also revealed that Toxoplasmosis significantly decrease the relative weight of ovary and uterus compared with first group, while treatment with Sulf. and Pyr. increased the declined relative weight of the ovary and uterus in the infected females.Testicular histological section of Toxoplasmosis infected male rats treatment with DMSO showed vacular degeneration of spermatogonia and spermatocytes. The seminiferous tubules revealed sever degeneration, shrinkal, necrosis, hemorrhage. Seminiferous tubules lumen contained little amount of sperm with appearance of gaint cell, polymorphonuclear leukocytes and exfoliated cellular debris. Metamorphosis and disintegration of the tissue between the seminiferous tubules was also observed compared to the first group that showed complex histologically intact while testes sections of infected rats treatment Pyr. and Sulf. showed improvement by removing histocompatibility damage caused by the parasite infection.The epididymal sections of T. gondii infected rats treatment with DMSO showed infiltration of mononuclear and multinucleated gaint cell. Sections also showed hyperplasia of duct lining and contained tissue cyst of T. gondii. All these changes were improved in infected males treated by Sulf. and Pyr. Ovary sections of the infected females treatment with DMSO compared with first group revealed decreased primary and secondary follicle increased follicle atresia. Histological sections of ovary females showed in the fifth and sixth group to increase the number of primary and secondary follicles and decreased number of follicle atresia compared overian sections for the fourth group. Uterine sections of the infected females treatment with DMSO showed hypertrophy, increase endometrial thickness and myometerium, increase polymorphonuclear cell infiltration, fewer glands and congestion of blood vessels compared with first group. Histological sections for ovary females of the fifth and sixth group showed changes but less severe than is present in the fourth group.In third stage from studying Toxoplasmosis on fertility parameters of male and female rats, 84 rat(42 male and 42 female) which showed the results of the current study, when paired fertilized healthy females by males is infected and infected of T.gondii treatment with Sulf. , Pyr. and DMSO, and inversion, there is the effect of the parasite and used drugs the percentage of getting pregnant and pregnancy size and rate of embryos weight and placental weight and increase the proportion of fetal resorption and the proportion of early loss of embryos in fertilized healthy females by males five groups compared to the first group.Based on that conclude from the study that the infection of parasite T. gondii had negative effects on the fertility of male and female, and that all of thePyr. and Sulf. were not honest is the other of the impact on reproductive functions.

Abstract: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most chronic diseases that is widely spread all over the world and affects all age groups. The disease has a vast potential to affect almost every body organ, especially the peripheral nerves, which causes high mortality rates from disease complications. These complications cause damage in the organs of the body including the nerves located in the limbs that generate an intense heat resulting from the destruction of nerve fibers in addition to the acute pain resulting from the effect of diabetes in those nerves. This study was designed to determine the sensitivity of those nerves by displaying the results of nerve conduction study for patients and compared it with their clinical examination to determine the severity of numbness and assess the level of pain in the upper and lower limbs.The study was conducted at the Diabetes and Endocrinology Center in Al - Sader Medical City in Al - Najaf governorate and it included following up the case of (78) patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy by nerve conduction study. The study was began from 5/9/2014 until 7/4/2015. It included diabetic men and women, and they were divided into three age groups (35 - 68), and the study excluded the patients with peripheral neuropathy but have foot ulceration because the nerve connect system (SUDOSCAN REPORT ) was used in the current study, cannot perform nerve conduction study for patients with foot ulceration also smoking and the patients who taking treatment for diabetic peripheral neuropathy .During this study the clinical examination for patients was conducted and compared it with the nerve conduction study of them , also recording the information were related with the history of patients ,as while asmeasuring the concentrations of urea and creatinine in serum, in addition the study was recognized the effect of diabetes mellitus on the kidneys by estimating the ratio of albumin to creatinine in the urine, or named (ACR). the study compared the glycosylated hemoglobin levels and body mass index with the nerve conduction study results for all patients.The present study has shown a statistical significant difference (P <0.05) between the clinical tests of the patients who were tested by tuning fork as while as nerves test needle test and between nerve conduction study for both sexes also at all age groups included in the study. The results of the study did not show any a statistical significant (P>0.05). difference when compared the results of nerve conduction study among the different age groups for males. For females however, there was a statistical significant difference (P<0.05) amongst the different age groups.The results of the current study did not show a statistical significant difference (P>0.05) as regards the duration of injury for males, while it revealed a statistical significant difference among females (P <0.05), the results of the current study also observed the presence of a statistical significant increase (P<0.05) in the ratio of albumin to creatinine in patients with diabetic peripheral nervous for males and females.When compared the glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels over the past three months, there are no a statistical significant differences (P>0.05) for males and females ,while the study revealed no a statistical significant increase (P> 0.05) in the concentrations of urea in males when compared to their nerve conduction study results, as well as theconcentrations of creatinine which did not show a statistical significant difference( P> 0.05) at them.The study was also revealed the presence of a statistical significant difference (P<0.05) in the concentrations of urea in females with diabetic peripheral neuropathic and did not show a statistical significant difference (P> 0.05) in the concentration of creatinine at them. The results of the current study did not show a statistical significant difference (P>0.05) between the body mass index among males and it showed a statistical significant difference among females (P <0.05)with peripheral diabetic neuropathy.The study reached that diabetes, with long periods of infection, has a crucial role in showing and the advancement of the disease for most of the patients, particularly those who lack the suitable amount of control over the percentage of the Glucose in the blood. The study also deducted that the disease is accompanied with kidney failure for most of the studied patients. It was also revealed that the nominees of some of the patients which appeared during their examination via tuning fork as while as nerves test needle was not the cause of their infection with diabetes, therefore, the study recommended the adoption of the results of the diabetic peripheral neuropathy to diagnose and asses the infection with peripheral nervous surround diabetes.

Abstract: The aim of this study is to inferring the ability of biofilm production and virulence factors which has helped to form it into two types of bacteria P.mirabilis and E.coli. Two hundred and fifty samples have been collected from patients who are suffering Urinary tract infection (UTI) in Teaching Hospital at Al - Najaf Al - Ashraf during the period ( 1/10/2014 - 1/1/ 2015). The samples have has identified by diagnostic methods : culturing , microscopic , biochemical and using VITEK - 2 compact system more sensitively and specifically method.The results have been showed that the isolation ratio was 30 (37.5%) of E.coli, while P.mirabilis was 14(17.5%) also, a five isolates (6.5%) wereEnterobacter cloacae ssp cloacae and only two isolates (2.5%) were Raoultella ornithinolytica from the total number of specimens. The virulence factors and antibiotic sensitivity test of two bacteria : P.mirabilis and E.coli were determined and the more virulence and multidrug resistance were selected.The hemagglutination properties of P.mirabilis which isolated from clinical samples were determined , the reaction with red blood cells of human group O+ was explored. The ratio of Hemagglutination was reached 42.86%, 50%, 7.14% to MSHA, MRHA and NOHA respectively. However, E.coli has been a different results that was reached 30 % , 26.67% and 43.33% from type MSHA, MRHA and NOHA as well. On the other hand, the thin - film production (pellicle) has been formed by 13 isolates of bacteria P.mirabilis and 21 isolates of bacteria E.coli, when it was growth on the nutrient broth in a temperature 37˚C for 24 - 18 hours. Moreover, it has been shown that there is high affinity for adhesion with the epithelium cell in the urinary tract. In addition, the E.coli has proved the higher efficiency than P.mirabilis in adhesion. It was detected ability of bacteria to biofilm production in three methods. The bacteria E.coli have showed their ability on biofilm production where by the rate was (43.3, 52 and60)% on the different growth ways which was the Congo Red, the tube and the plate respectively.The gel electrophoresis has been done on all isolates which was to analyzed on adhesive factors genetically whereby the bacteria P.mirabilis, E.coli have shown ability to gene expression (fimH and afaB) with a rate of (42.86 and 28.57)% and (30 and 20)%, respectively.Also, it has been clarified that the antibiotics ( Ciprofloxacin, Amikacin and Ceftazidime) have an effect on the most virulent bacteria to prevent the formation of biofilm when it is taken a half of minimum inhibitory concentrations. It was found that the minimum inhibitory concentrations were the most efficient in the prevent a biofilm formation in both types of bacteria.It appears to be found that the minimum inhibitory concentrations of these antibiotics were the most efficient in the prevent the formation of biofilm in both types of bacteria. Ciprofloxacin has the high efficiency to prevent the biofilm formation in E.coli while this concentration has no effective on biofilm production from others. It has been found that there is a clear positive relationship between the presence of adhesion gene (fimH , afaB) and the ability to adhesion on the epithelial .The conjugation process was conducted successfully to transfer the adhesion genes between (E.coli and P.mirabilis) which have been considered a donor strains to transfer the genes to the standard strain E.coli HB101 which have been considered a receipt strains whereby have shown ability to adhesion and biofilm formation.

As such the present study aims to investigate the concentration of IL - 18 binding protein alpha (IL - 18BPa) and IL - 18R beta with classical risk factors which include Anthropometric risk factors like Age, Central Obesity (CO) and body mass index (BMI), biochemical factors like Insulin , Insulin Resistance (IR), Fasting Blood Glucose ( FBG), Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) and lipid profile. Besides, the study aims to studying their association with ABO blood system in the Iraqi Arab female patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 in order to figure out their effect with other factors as predictor or developer for diabetes mellitus type 2. The present study included 340 Iraqi Arab female patients newly diagnosed with DMT2 and 200 healthy individuals tested for phenotype and allele frequency. From those, 60 patients were tested for the immunological and chemical where compared to 28 healthy individuals. Immunological tests by using ELISA kits. While Chemical parameters using enzymatic and colorimetric methods. The study groups (patients and control) were divided into four sub groups (A, B, AB and O) according to the class of blood groups which were tested by using standard serological procedures. The present data showed : 1 - A significant increase in the serum level of IL - 18BPa in the patients of the present study, while there was no significant difference in the serum level of IL - 18R beta. 2 - A significant increased in mean of IL - 18BPa with increased age in both patients and control groups. While IL - 18R beta showed increase at group less than 40 year and decreased with increasing age in both patients and control group. Besides increased all other risk factors. 3 - The levels of both IL - 18BPa and IL - 18R beta were gradually non significantly increased the level in each patients group with an increased duration of disease and the same for IR. 4 - Patients with HbA1c less than 7.3% showed a significant increase in mean of IL - 18BPa and IL - 18R beta and decreased gradually with the increase of HbA1c. 5 - Patients and control subjects who carried blood group B had the highest mean of IL - 18BPa, Insulin and Insulin resistance. 6 - Patient subjects who carried blood group B and control subjects who carried blood group A showed the highest mean of IL - 18R beta. 7 - IL - 18BPa and IL - 18R beta act as independent risk factors in Iraqi Arab females with DMT2 which supported by the absence of significant correlation among IL - 18BPa, IL - 18R Beta and all others classical risk factors. 8 - A positive relation between levels of IL - 18BPa and risk of DMT2. This may be an indication of inflammation for newly diagnostic diabetic patients, while Serum levels of IL - 18R beta might be a predictor marker of disease progression. Further studies are needed to understanding the relationship between blood groups, inflammatory markers and risk of DMT2 in healthy population.

The females recorded highest percentage of infection 67.24% than males 32.76 %, and the age group 21 - 30 year showed highest percentage of infection 24.14 % . The lowest percentage recorded in age group more than 60 year 5.17 %.The results of study showed that right lobe of liver was more affected 58.62 % than left lobe 13.79 %. The percentage of left lung infection was 10.34 % while right lung 8.62 %. The total average of fertile cysts in infected organs was 81.82 % and sterile cysts 18.18 %. The highest percentage of infection was recorded in house women 87.18 %. The number of recorded cases in Nassiriyah district was 21 case with percentage of infection 36.21 %.During the same period a total of 1303, 1287, 405, 90, and 294 head from sheep, cattle, buffaloes, camels and goats were examined respectively.The percentage of infection was 7.83 %, 7.69 %, 3.46 % and 2.22 % in sheep, cattle, buffaloes and camels respectively, and no infection was recorded in goats. The intensity of infection was 4.07, 3.27, 1.64 and 2 in sheep, cattle, buffaloes and camels respectively. The results of statistical analysis showed no significant differences (P????0.05) in percentage and intensity of infection.The percentage infection of liver, lungs and both together in sheep was 5.45 %, 1.23 % and 1.15 % respectively, and there was no significant differences in percentage of infection but intensity of infection differed significantly(P????0.05). The percentage of liver, lungs, both together and spleen infection in cattle were 3.11 %, 2.95 % , 1.55 % and 0.08 % respectively while intensity of infection in liver, lungs, both together and spleen was 2.5, 2.18, 7 and 1 respectively. The percentage of liver, lungs and both together infection in buffaloes were 2.22 %, 0.99 % and 0.25 % respectively while intensity of infection in liver, lungs and both together was 1.89, 1 and 2 respectively. No significant differences in percentage and intensity of infection in camels andboth percentage and intensity of infection in liver and lungs were 1.11% and 2 respectively.High significant differences was recorded between percentage infection in males and females of animals. The percentage of infection in females were 15.87 %, 13.42 %, 6.99 % and 3.45 % in sheep, cattle, buffaloes and camels respectively. Highest percentage of infection were 0.72 %, 0.18 % and 0.46 % in males of sheep, cattle and buffaloes respectively. No infection were recorded in males of camels.T he age was effect on percentage of infection and big aging groups recorded in sheep, cattle, buffaloes and camels. The present study recorded significant differences in percentage of fertile hydatid cysts in liver and lungs of animals and highest of percentage of fertility recorded in liver and lungs of sheep 84.21 % and 79.24 % respectively and lower percentage of fertility was in liver of buffaloes 11.11% and liver of cattle 14.70 %. The lower percentage of sterile hydatid cysts was in liver and lungs of sheep 15.79 % and 20.75 % respectively and highest percentage recorded in liver of buffaloes 88.88 % and spleen of cattle 100 %.S t a tistical analysis using of ANOVAs test showed no significant differences in total length, length of blade and width for large and small protoscolices hooks of hydatid cysts isolated from liver and lungs of sheep, human, cattle buffaloes, camels and hooks of sheep which is showed genetic variations (new strain).The PCR - RFLP technique was used in identification of E.granulosus strains infecting human and intermediate hosts in Thi - Qar province. The molecular study is carried out on 75 hydatid cysts collected from human, sheep, cattle, buffaloes and camels. The DNA is extracted from protoscolices of hydatid cysts isolated from infected organs. PCR - RFLP technique showed that sheep strain G1 of E.granulosus is predominant in Thi - Qar province depending on amplification of rDNA - ITS1 gene. The PCR products in all DNA samples showed 1000 bp approximately. Alu1 endonuclease with rDNA - ITS1 demonstrated two bands 800 bp and 200 bp approximately, while Rsa1 endonuclease showed two bands 655 bp and 345 bp approximately which is similar to sheep strain genotype 1.Sequence analysis for rDNA - ITS1 gene showed the presence of sheepstrain genotype 1 which is similar 100 % to sheep strain in gene bank exceptone isolate (sheep liver) was differs from other strains in position ofnucleotide sequence. It was similar 99 % for sequence of sheep strain. Thedata base of this new strain was recorded in gene bank for DNA sequence National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) for the first time globally under the name Echinococcus granulosus strain WH1AW2 (GenBank : LT547814). Polymerase chain reaction technique and sequence analysis of mtCOX1 gene showed the presence of sheep strain G1 of human, sheep, cattle, buffaloes and camels. The sequence analysis showed the genetic variation in mtCOX1 gene for hydatid cyst in infected sheep represented by point mutation type transition which caused change Adenine to Guanine, and sequence data base of the sample recorded for first time in NCBI and ENA (GenBank : LC203589). Buffaloes strain G3 isolated from human lung recorded for first time in Thi - Qar province depending on comparison of samples sequences with source strains recorded in gene bank (NCBI) using "BLAST".

Investigation in the present study included; hormones, lipid profile, liver enzymes activity and haematological profile in groups of Iraqi Basrah pregnant women during different months of pregnancy and to correlate these levels to maternal age, Body Mass Index, excepted parity and sex of fetuses and correlated with level of adiponectin and apelin hormones only and the results were compared with non - pregnant females as control group. The present study included (180) women ranging from 20 - 40 years old, out of them (70) pregnant and (20) non - pregnant women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOs), and (90) females non - pregnant were considered as control group. The pregnant women attended the obsteric units in the general state hospitals in Basra Governorate. They are as follows : Al - Basra General Hospital for Maternity and Childhood, Al - Mawane, Al - Fayha’a and Basra General Hospital which drain most patients from urban and rural areas. None of the selected women suffered from any type of disease. Required data were collected by the researcher depending on direct interview with women before being admitted to the study, using a questionnaire including information on age, parity, month of pregnancy, and geographical area..The Women were divided into two age group (≤ 27 and ≥28 years). Moreover, females were also divided according to BMI into normal (≤ 25), over weight (25 - 30) and Obese (≥30).The month of gestation was determined not only from the date of the women’s last menstruation (LMP) but also according to the ultrasonic reports that pregnant women had. Blood samples (10 ml) were taken from pregnant women at the end of each month of pregnancy and from control group as well as from women with PCOs. Each blood sample was divided into EDTA tube (2 ml) which was used for complete hematological picture study (RBC, Hb, PCV, PLT, WBCs count and WBCs differential count) and the plain tube (8 ml) where the serum was obtained, for biochemical study (Adiponectin, Apelin, testosterone, Progesterone, estradiol, follicular stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, insulin, lipid profile and liver enzymes).The results indicated that maternal age had no significant effect on the level of adiponectin, apelin, FSH and LH hormones, while the study showed a significantly effect on level of progesterone, estradiol, testosterone and insulin hormones between pregnant and non - pregnant women. Adiponectin levels decreased in pregnant and non - pregnant females with increased body mass index whereas apelin, estradiol, progesterone and insulin levels increased. When the comparison between pregnant and non - pregnant women was done, a decrease in adiponectin and apelin was noticed. Accompanied by an increase in the level of estradiol, testosterone, progesterone and insulin hormones in pregnant women compared to non - pregnant women.Women with PCOs showed low levels of both Adiponectin and apelin with high levels of Testosterone and Insulin.Results also revealed that age had no effect on total cholesterol, triglycerides, and HDL, in both pregnant and non - pregnant females, but when the BMI was taken in consideration, high levels of these parameters were found in - group of BMI (obese). In addition, the present study showed that age had no effect on liver enzymes (AST and ALT) while ALP showed that the behavior increased up as a different high body mass index in pregnant women, in comparison with the control group. However, ALP activity also increased in high BMI group.Hematological study showed that age had no effect on RBC, Platelets, and hematocrit. Similar results were found when BMI was taken in consideration. Total WBCs showed a non - significant increase in pregnant women as compared with the control group. Adiponectin levels were significantly higher in pregnant females carrying female fetuses compared to those with male fetuses, while the other hormone apelin did not differ between the two groups. The Result of the present study revealed that adiponectin was significantly decreased as apelin was significantly increased with the increased parity.

Abstract: The present study was conducted in order to evaluate the activity of green alga Enteromorpha intestinalis extracts (methanol and hexane extracts) on growth and development of hydatid cysts of Echinococcus granulosus in vitro and in vivo by using mice type Mus musculus Balb\c that in comparing with albendazole drug. Anti - cancer activity was also evaluated in vitro for both algal extracts by using HeLa cells. Chemical compositions of algal extracts were analyzed by using Gas chromatography - mass spectroscopy (Gc - mass)technique . The hydatid cysts were collected from livers and lungs of infected sheep which slaughtered in Basrah abattoir. While, The algae specimens were collected from Abu Sokhir marshland area /north of Basra. The results revealed that E.intestinalis chemical compounds are carbohydrate , alkaloids, phenols , saponins , triterpenes and sterols compounds. In vitro study showed that the 1 mg / mouse weight of albendazole drug was able to reduce the percentage of protoscolices activity to zero after the third day of treatment. While, the dose 6 98 mg / kg of methanol extract inhibited all protoscolices after five days of treatment, followed by the dose 804 mg / kg of hexan extract that inhibited all protoscolices after six days of treatment.In vivo study revealed that the methanol extract (698 mg / kg) treatment was the best in reducing the weights of organs significantly in comparison with the positive control group it was 2.192 , 0.192 , 0.434 and 0.282 g of liver, spleen, lung and kidney respectively. The methanol extract (698 mg / kg) treatment lowered the average number of hydatid cysts (2.6) more than other extracts treatments , then followed by hexane extract (804 mg / kg) treatment it was 2.8 cyst .This study has identified that the liver enzymes Aspartate transaminase (ALT) and Alanine transaminase (AST) values in the serum of positive control group were higher significantly than negative control group the value of the enzyme ALT was 79 IU / l and the value of the enzyme AST was 118.4 IU / l.All methanolic extracts groups showed a preference in enzyme's values compared with other treatments groups , the value of ALT enzyme of 698 , 688 and 678 mg / kg of methanol extract groups were 46.8 , 45.8 and 44.6 IU / l respectively, while all hexane extracts groups showed a preference in AST enzyme values compared to the other treatments groups, the value of AST enzyme of 804 , 794 and 784 mg / kg of hexane extract groups were 73.6 , 70.2 and 70.4 IU / l respectively. Found a significant increase in the number of white blood cells WBCs in a positive control group ( 4.6 × 013μ), compared with a negative control group and the other groups, While it has been found significant decrease in the Hb (5..8deciliter) and Packed cell volume (PCV) (31..%) values in positive control group as compared with control negative group. The study found that the number of white blood cells WBCs n the methanolic extract group (678 mg / kg) was 4.06 × 103 microliter was as same as in the negative control group, In contrast, hexane extract group (804 mg/ kg) has did not significant difference with negative control group in the Hb and PCV were 11.5 g / dl and 36.8% respectively .Histological study confirmed that there are the histological changes in positive control group included congestion , bleeding , degeneration , infiltration of inflammatory cells and hyperplasia. Whereas the histological changes in group treated with albendazole were bleeding, infiltration of inflammatory cells , atrophy of the glomerulus and fibrosis in some areas . In algal extracts groups the histological changes were infiltration of inflammatory cells, bleeding and congestion.The Gc mass results revealed that the ethanol extract contains loliolide , ethyl stearate , palmitic Acid , ethyl palmitate , phytol , ethyl oleate , ethylhexyladipate and squalene compounds. While, hexane extract has N, Ndimethyltetradecylamine , diisobutyl phthalate , palmitic Acid , ethyl palmitate and ethylhexyladipate compounds.Anti - cancer study showed the algal extracts have an inhibition activity against cancer cells, The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) value of the methanol extract was 79.08 μ/ ml, While, the IC50 for hexane extract was 156.3 μ/ ml.

Abstract: The study was conducted to investigate several taxonomic aspects which comprised the micro - morphological studies of epidermal layer of leaves, pollen grains, fruits and seeds.In addition to that, the anatomical and molecular studies for 12 species of Euphorbiaceae family which belonged to five genera AndrachneL. , Chrozophora L., Euphorbia L, Mercurialis L. and RicinusL., were performed. One representative species for each genuswas selected; in exception 8 species were chosen for the genus Euphorbia..The current results confirmed that the anatomical characters showed valuable taxonomic traits which can evidently be used to distinguish between species. The most prominent trait was mesophylla tissue in leaves which were observed in three categories;1 - Bifacial leaves : - which found in C.tinctoria, Euphorbia sp ., E. milii, E.annua and R.comminus 2 - Uni - facial (heterogenus) leaves : - this category of the mesophyll was detected in two species only A.telephioides and E.prostrata3 - Uni - facial (homogenus) leaves : - this category were noticed in five species; E.denticulata ,E.helioscopia ,E,macrocarpa , E.microsphaeia and E.peplus The second important comparative anatomical character was the Mid rib, which are in four types with several shapes from which discrimination between the species can be made : - 1. Convex - concave mid rib : - that was showed in E.helioscopia, E.macrocarpa, E.milii and M.annua.2. Convex - convex : - This type was found in three species C.tinctoria , Euphorbia sp.and R. comminus3. Flat - Convex : - This type of mid rib was observed in A.telephioides E.microsphaera, E.peplus and E.prostrata4. Flat - Flat : - This type was observed in only one species E.denticulata In stem, the most prominent parts of taxonomic evidence were pith and vascular bundles.In according to the pith, species can be divided into hollow stem (without pith) and solid stem (containing medulla good configuration). Hollow stem was clear in the stems of A.telephioides , E.microsphaera , E.prostrata and M.annua. While, the solid stem wasseen in the remaining species. Vascular bundles were existed in two types; that's connected vascular bundles that's characterized the hollow stems, and separate vascular bundles. In most of the species with the exception of M. annua, stem with scatteredvascular bundles were in cortex As well as, petiole which have features that a clear taxonomy values .either by outline of petiole or its vascular arc.Micro - morphological studies of epidermal layer of leaves showed very important taxonomical value. This layer of leaves reveals variation in shape of ordinary epidermal cell and nature of anticline cell wall, stomata complexes and Epicuticlular wax crystals.Micro - morphological of pollen was taxonomic evidence as well. It can be considered to divide the species of Euphorbiaceae family into two groups based on the number of germination apertures 1 - Hexocorporate : - this type was confined to C.tinctoria2 - Tricolporate all species studied remainingThe sculpture of pollen wall provided beneficial information invested in the species identification.Both seeds and fruits showed a distinctive role in species identification. Micromorophological study of seeds for species which belong to six genera Andrachne , Chrozophora, Euphorbia, Mercurialis , Phyllanthus and Ricinus were achieved by using Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM). The study concentrated on micro - morphological aspect of Caruncle, seed surface ornamentation and the shape of epidermial cell wall. The result revealed that most studied species were with carunclated seeds ,but some specieswere with ecarunclated seeds as in A.telephioides L. ,C. tinctoria( L) Raf , E.prostrata Atin and P. maderaspatensis L Seed surface ornamentation characteristics showed a significant taxonomical value.Furthermore, current result showed that there are a highly variation in shape, size and color of the seeds walls. With respect to the fruits characteristics, which showed variations in number of mercarpi, shape, size, color and surface ornamentation that can be adopted in the separation of the species studied Molecular study provided significant support for phenotypic and anatomical classification and support genetic convergence between the species in Euphorbiacea family. The genus Euphorbia species showed a significant genetically convergence and participated in predecessors monophyletic. However, the genera in Euphorbiacea family under study probably originated and evolved from different ancestors’ polyphyletic.

Abstract: A total of 401 represented by 128 birds of Himantopus himantopus which belong to the family Recurvirostridae , 93 birds of Chettusia leucura which belong to the family charadriidae and 180 birds of Sturnus vulgaris which belong to the family sturnidae at the period from April 2014 to march 2015 in Al - Sanaf marsh , Suq - Al - Shuyukh city southern of the Thi - Qar province,for searching the nematodes which belong to the family Tetrameridae. Four species of nematodes, which belong to the family Tetrameridae, were isolated in the current study. They were T.nouveli, T.dubia, T.spinosa and Microtetrameres inermis. The H. himantopus was infected with the nematode T.nouveli and the prevalence of infection was 25.8% , bird.Furthermore, the Chettusia leucura was infected, the mean intensity was 3.3 worm in each infected birds. The nematode T.dubia was isolated from H. himantopus with the isolated from the Ch. Leucura mean intensity was 1.7.The nematode T.spinosa was isolated from H. himantopus the the mean intensity of infection was 2.3 and it was isolated from the Ch. leucura , the prevalence of infection 4.3% and the mean intensity was 1.8 worm in each infected worm.The record of these three nematode is considering the first record in Iraq.Microtetrameres inermis was isolated from the Sturnus vulgaris, the each infected birds.Himantopus himantopus from April 2014 to March of 2015.This bird was infected with three species from family Tetrameridae, The seasonal variation study of infection prevalence of Tetrameres spp.in, H. himantopus that there was II Summarycomplete seasonal cycle for nematodes T.nouveli, T.dubia , and T.spinosa .The nematode T.nouveli had hightest infection prevalence in summer the decrease in autumn, winter and spring while the infection prevalence of nematode T.dubia was hight in summer and autumn then decrease in winter and spring. The infection prevalence of nematode T.spinosa was generally low with little increase in autumn .The results of the current of the Ch. leucura indicated that this bird was infected with three species which nematodes T.nouveli, T.dubia and T.spinosa and they had seasonal appearance . There was not any significant effect of host sex on prevalence of infection, and it showed decreased in prevalence of infection when the bird's weight was increased.The study of lifecycle of nematodes : T.nouveli ,T.dubia and M. inermis revealed obtainment the larval stages after success the infection experimental of the grasshopper Schistocerca gregaria for the first time the three isolated nematodes from family Tetrameridae in this study which it was T.nouveli , T. dubia and M.inermis and was included the lifecycle of the three species . The differences were including the period of time to produce and developing the larval stages in addition to the differences in their shapes, it was revealed that were clear differences in the structure and their shape of the tip the posterior end of the third larval stage. The end of the third larval stage of the nematode T. nouveli had three caudal papilla and the posterior end of nematode T.dubia had five caudal papilla while the end of the third larval stage of M.inermis did not have any caudal papilla , so we can distinguish these nematode larval stage depended on the prevalence this character in their third larval stage.The experimental infection of the Columba livia domestica with nematode M.inermis was successful.While the experimental infection to the Columba livia domestica with nematode T.nouveli ,T.dubia .was failed The experimental infection of the Gallus domestica with nematodes of Tetrameridae T.nouveli, T.dubia and M.inermis was failed too.

Abstract: The species Dina punctata is recorded for the first time in Iraq (from Al - Swaib marshes). The identification was conducted morphologicaly and molecularly characteristics. The morphological features summarized as : - - The species D. punctata has vermiform body compressed ventrally, ranging in length from 55 - 60 mm and in diameter from 0.5 - 2 mm. The individuals have a large ability for extening. The pointed anterior end carries small anterior sucker which resembles lips surrounding the mouth opining, while the rounded posterior end carries large rounded posterior sucker. - This species is characterized by heterogeneous features such as the color of the body which changes from blackish gray for Adults to dark brown for Juveniles, as well as the number and arrangement of eyes which is in general four pairs arranged as reverse U shape located on the dorsal anterior edge. The first two pairs of eyes are located on the middle line of the body while the third and the fourth pairs are each located on one side of the body behind the anterior pairs. - The body consists of 34 segments, each of them is divided to five secondary annuli. The fifth annuli of each segment is divided into two subsections, thus the main segment becomes consist of six annuli. - The male and female gonopores are open on the ventral surface of the 12th segment, separated from each other by two annuli, the male gonopore is usually larger and clearer and located forward in the middle of the groove which is separate the annuli b2 and a2 respectively. The female gonopore is smaller and located in the back of the male gonopore in the middle of the groove which is separate the b5 and b6 annuli respectively.Because of the instability in some morphological features, the species D.punctata also identified in the present study according to genetic features.During the genetic study, the region of internal transcription space (ITS2) in DNA was isolated from leech specimens by using special primers for region internal transcription space (ITS2), after isolation, the ITS2 genes are amplified.The results of polymerase chain reaction of DNA were obtained of single bands of 580 base pairs molecular weight for all degrees of hybridization. The sequence of each sample after detecting was entered in the database of National Center Biological Information (NCBI) and the result showed that the sequences of all samples are belonging to the species D. punctata. In the field study, monthly samples of leeches D. punctata was collected from the marshes of Al - Swaib on the eastern side of Shatt Al - Arab river inQurna northern Basrah Province during the period from January 2015 to December 2015. A total of 235 individuals and 623 Cocoon were collected during the study period. The highest number was 58 recorded for individuals during May 2015, while being 335 recorded for cocoons during February 2015. On the other hand there is no occurrence recorded during July - August for individuals, and June - November for cocoons.The study investigates the water temperature, salinity and abundance of individuals and cocoons. The statistical analysis showed negative correlation between temperature and abundance of both individuals and cocoons, while the correlation of salinity was slightly positive with abundance of individuals and cocoons.The study of population sizes structure showed that the size class 40 - 50 mm has the highest frequency during the study period compared with the other size classes. On the other hand, the highest percentage of frequency was 66.7%, which also recorded for the size class 40 - 50 mm.Laboratory experiments showed that the members of a species D.punctata able to tolerate saline concentrations between 2 - 6 psu the survival rate 100%, Also, these worms (D. punctata) feed by different ways, it can be considered Predatory Macrophagous and Scavengers, its food materials consist of invertebrate animals such as Oligochaetes, Lumbriculids, Chironomid larvae; fleshy body of some aquatic snails; and on dead fishes. In the laboratory, the leeches fed well on flesh and livers of chicken, sheeps and caws, The laboratory also studied, Three different types of food effect (chicken liver, zooplankton, and animal feed) on the growth of young leech for a period of six weeks.From the field and laboratory observations, the specie D. punctata reproduces sexually by cross fertilization. The male and female gonopores are easily observed in adults which ranging in length from 45 - 60 mm. as well as the sperm sacs on the mid ventral surface of the body during the reproduction season, which extend in our study during two periods : January - May and December 2015. The sexual reproduction processes were studded in detail and the embryonic development in cocoons was divided into five hypothetical stages according to morphological and anatomical changes and these stages are : - 1 - Depositing Cocoon Stage.2 - Primary Cleavage stage.3 - Development and extension.4 - Differentiation of regions stage.5 - Complement and release stage. The histological structure of the body wall, suckers, reproductive organs and digestive tract of adult leeches were investigated. The body wall consists of thick layers of circular, longitudinal and oblique muscles.The structures of the male reproductive system such as genital atrium, sperm sacs and testis were observed. There are two lateral blood sinuses around the mouth cavity in addition to many nerve cells. The posterior sucker is muscular, and the muscle cells are as a dense net in the peripheral part, while are as a loose cells in the middle what give it a sponge appearance, in addition to primitive glomerular cells, nerve cells and mucus cells

Abstract: The study was conducted in Plant physiology laboratory, department of biology, college of education for pure sciences, University of Basrah from 1/6/2015 till 10/7/2016 in order to evaluate the effect ofpretreatment (soaking) seeds of corn (Zea mays L.) cv. Baghdad 3with salicylic acid (SA) on germination, early seedlings growth and to minimize the effect of water stress induced with poly ethylene glycol (PEG). The study included the following experiments : 1 - Effect of SA and PEG on germination using a hydroponic culture and Hoagland solution in which corn seeds were soaked in three concentrations (0.1,0.3,0.5) mMof SA in addition to control treatment with distilled water for six hours. Water stress were induced with PEG at concentrations of 0 (distilled water),1%,2%,3%,6%,9% and 12%. This experiment indicated that the optimum soaking concentration with SA was 0.5 mM and that there was no germination at 12% PEG.2 - Effect of interaction between corn seeds pretreatment with DW, 0.5mM of SA for six hoursand PEG at all previous concentrations except 12%, on early corn seedlings growth using hydroponic culture and Hoagland nutrient solution, for three weeks.3 - Effect of interaction betweencorn seeds pretreatment with DW, 0.5 mM of SA for six hoursand water stress induced with PEG at 3% and 6% on vegetative growth using pots filled with a mixture of sand and peat moss for three months.The parameters were evaluated after each of the previous experiments, also , Biochemical test . Plant height, leaves number, root length and number, dry and fresh weight for shoot and roots, while the followingparameters were evaluated in corn leaves after pots experiment : 1 - Biochemical tests included : proline and glycine betain concentrations, total carbohydrates, total chlorophyll, sodium and potassium ions concentrations.2 - Leaves anatomical study to compare the effect of PEG inducedwater stress and the role of its interaction with pretreatment with SA on thegrowth and development of internal structure of corn leaves.The following results were estimated : 1 - Germination percentage : increasing water stress in the nutrient media reduced the % germination significantly when compared with control treatment. Seeds pretreatment with SA enhanced the germination percent and the highest percent was at interaction between PEG at 1%, 2% and SA at 0.5 mM.2 - Growth parameters for seedling at hydroponic culture indicated that plant height, fresh and dry weight for shoot and roots have increased significantly when seeds were pretreated with 0.5 Mm SA All theprevious parameters were reduced significantly under PEG induced waterstress especially at 9%. Interaction between SAand PEG caused apositive significant increases in all studied parameters especially atconcentrations less than 6% and 9% PEG.3 - Growth parameters for corn plants grown at pots have showed a significant increase when pretreated with SA compared with that treated with DW. PEG caused a significant decrease in the growth parameters IIIespecially at 6%. Interaction between DW and 6% PEG recorded the lowest growth in all studied parameters. 4 - Biochemical tests : There was a significant increase in total carbohydrates and total chlorophyll content in leaves of corn plants pretreated with SA in compare with that pretreatdwith DW while the content of proline and glycine betaine were higher significantly in leaves pretreated with DW.In case of PEG induced water stress, the highest total carbohydrates content was at 6%, highest chlorophyll content at 3% while proline and glycine betaine highest content were at 6% PEG. 5 - Sodium and Potassium Concentration : The highest potassium concentration was at plant treated with SA while the highest sodium concentration was at plant treated with DW. Increasing PEG concentrations caused a significant increase in potassium concentration and a significant decrease in sodium concentration. Interaction results revealed that the highest potassium and the lowest sodium concentrations were at interaction between SA and PEG at 6%. 6 - Anatomical study results revealed that increasing water stress effected the leaves tissues structures and this were cleared at vascular bundles tissues (xylem and phloem tissues) and bundle sheath. Upper and lower epidermis, polliform cells were also affected by increasing water stress.The anatomy of leaves also showed that there was a positive enhancement in the structure of leaves tissues in the plants grown from pretreated seeds with SA.

The injection of nitrate (NO3) and nitrite (NO2) promotes the growth of nitrate reducing bacteria (NRB) which outcompete (SRB) on carbon sources. A total of 40 samples were collected from produced water of oil production facilities in Basra including Nahran Omer and Al - Lahis oil fields in a period time of 6 months from August 2013 to January 2014. Mix cultures of (SRB) and (NRB) were isolated from these samples, the two types of bacteria were enumerated by using most probable number method, the results show that the numbers of both bacteria were generally quite low, the viable count of (SRB) was between 4 - 7cell/100 ml whereas the (NRB) was between <2 - 4 cell/100 ml. This study also includes purification of isolates for both (SRB) and (NRB) and the genetic identification by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique through which the universal 16S rRNA gene of 1500 bp is amplified and sequenced for identification to the level of strains. Microbial community analysis showed that isolates of (NRB) were have identity of 99% Pseudomonas stutzeri, P. putida, Herbaspirillum huttiense and Bacillus licheniformis while isolates of (SRB) were have identity of 99% Shewanella hafniensis, Desulfosporosinus orientis and Desulfotomaculum acetooxidans with supposing that all isolates new world strains. The results of the treatment with nitrate or nitrite showed a strong inhibitory effect on (SRB) growth and (H2S) production, sulfide levels do not increase at all concentrations (200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000) mg/l of nitrate or nitrite range between 4.2 - 21 mg/l in treatment with nitrate and 5.2 - 23 mg/l in treatment with nitrite. This is consistent with the concentrations of bacteria in all treatment bottles which range between 0.001 - 0.26 and 0.003 - 0.17 in treatment with nitrate or nitrite respectively, while there is a significant increase in sulfide 121 mg/l and concentration of bacteria 0.84 in control as optical density. (NRB) has a certain inhibitory effect on the growth of (SRB) and (H2S) production when the (NRB) nutrient (nitrate or nitrite 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000) mg/l were adding , the activity of (NRB) increases after treatment, and it consumed all nitrate or nitrite during 2 - 3 days of incubation, the strong inhibition of (H2S) production is at concentration 1000 mg/l of nitrate where the results showed that there was significant decrease in sulfide level 34 mg/l and number of bacteria, 34.8 cell/ml during 10 days of incubation.Souring control at long term treatment in bioreactors show sharp decrease in production of (H2S) to 94% after injection of nitrate and nitrite during the period of 60 days, the continuous dosing of nitrate and nitrite (333 mg/l/day nitrate and 133 mg/l/day nitrite) inhibited the metabolic activity of (SRB) and (H2S) production severely, the sulfide levels decrease from 155 to 10 mg/l and number of (SRB) from >1100 to 3.5 cell/ml the percent in number decreased was to 99.6%, at the same time activity and numbers of (NRB) increase from 1100 to >1100 cell/ml over the duration of experiment. The results of corrosion rate measurement on mild steel after 60 days showed that the highest corrosion rate was 70.7 mg/cm2/year in control reactor while the lowest corrosion rate was 15.8 mg/cm2/year in treated reactor at the same period time of exposure with percent of decreasing in weight loss to 55% comparing with control reactor.

Abstract: This study aimed to verify the distribution of Periplaneta americana and Culex pipiens allergy and its association with some HLA class II alleles in asthmatic and allergic patients. 96 healthy (control ) and 96 suspected allergic individuals from the same geographical region ,paired by sex and age were included in this study. Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay test (ELISA) was used to estimate the total and specific IgE antibodies in the sera of studied individuals. The detection of the HLA - DQB1*0602, HLADQB1* 0604 and HLA - DRB1*12 was performed by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).The results of total IgE based ELISA which was conducted on 96 suspected allergic and24 healthy (control ) individuals revealed that there was extremely significant statistical association (P<0.0001) for total IgE concentration with being allergic or non allergic status of individuals. The overall frequency of higher total IgE antibody concentration ( IgE>200IU/ml) was observed in 72.9% of allergic patients and lower serum total IgE levels (IgE<200IU/ml) were associated with 87.5% of healthy individuals. According to the specific IgE based ELISA results the effect of allergic patients age on the IgE seropositivity against cockroach allergens was not considered to be significant(p>0.05),but the effect of sex was statistically significant)P<0.05(.There was no significant effect( p>0.05)for patients age and sex on the distribution of IgE antibodies against mosquito allergens. Out of 96 allergic patients, 59 (61.5%)and 62(64.6%)showed positive IgE antibody response against cockroach and mosquito allergens respectively. Concerning the PCR results the overall frequency of HLA - DQB1*0602 and HLA - DQB1*0604 alleles was %35.6 and %15.3 of cockroach allergic patients respectively and the HLA - DRB1*12 allele was not observed in these patients..Out of 62 mosquito allergic patients, 8(%12.9)showed HLA - DQB1 * 0602 positive results while HLA - DQB1*0604 allele was observed in 4(%6.5)patients and the HLA - DRB1*12 allele was not observed in these patients.The difference in the genotypig results was extremely highly significant(χ2 : 0.030;17.486; degrees of freedom(DF) : 3;p - value=0.00056136) between cockroach and mosquito allergic patients .The association between the presence HLA - DQB1 *0602 , HLA - DQB1 * 0604 and HLA - DRB1*12 and total IgE based ELISA results in allergic patients and healthy individuals revealed that the percentage of HLA - DQB1 * 0602, HLA - DQB1 * 0604 and HLA - DRB1*12 alleles presence in patients having total IgE lower total IgE )IgE<200 IU/ml) was higher than that of high )IgE>200 IU/ml) total IgE patients where HLA - DQB1*0602 appeared in high percentage(69.2%) followed by percentage (15.4 %( of HLA - DQB1* 0604 presence. . The relationship of HLA - DQB1and HLADRB1 alleles with the results of total IgE based ELISA was statistically significant in the least(χ2 : 60.756 and the degree of freedom (DF) : 5;p= P<0.00001) and greatest(χ2 : 11.806 ; the degree of freedom (DF) : 5 ; p = 0.037544) than 200 IU / ml, values .Depending on the association between the presence of HLADQB1* 0602 ,HLA - DQB1*0604 and HLA - DRB1*12 and positive or negative specific results of cockroach or mosquito allergens specific IgE based ELISA results in allergic patients revealed that the percentage of HLA - DQB*0602,HLA - DQB1*0604 and HLA - DRB1*12 alleles presence in cockroach allergic patients having positive results were higher than those ratios that have been observed in patients with negative ELISA results where HLA - DQB1*0602 appeared in high percentage)35.6%( followed by percentage( 15.3% )of HLA - DQB1*0604 . The relationship of HLADQB1and HLA - DRB1 alleles with the results of specific IgE based ELISA was statistically significant (χ2 : 10.412; DF : 3; p - value =0.01536989).Incontrast the percentage of HLA - DQB1*0602,HLADQB1*0604 and HLA - DRB1*12 alleles presence in mosquito allergic patients was found to be higher in negative ELISA results patients also the relationship of these HLA - DQB1 alleles with mosquito allergen specific IgE based ELISA results was not considared statistically significant (χ2 : 3.115 ;DF : 3 and p= 0.37423205).However HLA - DQB1 * 0602 allele was found in the highest percentage (20.6%), followed by allele HLA - DQB1 * 0604 (8.8%).Concerning the presence of HLA - DQB1*0602 ,HLA - DQB1*0604 andHLA - DRB1*12 in cockroach or mosquito allergic patients and healthy individuals,the HLA - DRB1*12 and HLA - DQB1*0602 allels were not found in healthy individuals.The genotyping results difference between cockroach allergic patients and healthy individuals was considered statistically extremely significant (χ2 : 74.485 ;DF : 5 and p =0) as well as the difference in the results of the genotyping of mosquitoes allergic patients and healthy people was statistically with very high significant (χ2 : 23.342 ; DF : 5 and p = 0.00029035).

Abstract: The current study was conducted to investigate the genetic and physiological effects of some industrial chemicals on workers of the Petrochemicals Industrial Factory, in Basra Province , as it has been collecting 100 blood samples during the month of January and February of 2011 from each of the exposure in (ethylene section) and the control group of (employees of the University of Basra). and then the samples were divided on the basis of each of the years of occupational exposure to more and less than 15 years , age group to the larger and smaller than 50 years, smoking habits.The results showed that there was a significant decrease in the haemoglobin concentration HB, PCV, RDW and MCV in the more than15 years exposure group in comparison with the control group, while, no significance was detected in the RBC, MCH, MCV ,RDW,MCH and MCHC in less than15 years exposure group . Whereas, a significant decrease in the PCV for the same group was observed.White blood cells parameters’ results showed also variations in their values. In general, WBC did not change significantly in both groups of workers, while, the proportion of the lymphocyte and the of monocyte declined significantly in the more than 15 year of occupational exposure group, in contrast, the proportion of granulated cells increased markedly in the same group. The results of group of less than 15 years exposure revealed that the proportion of monocyte dropped significantly. Conversely, there was a significant increase in the proportion of granulated cells while the proportion of the lymphocyte was not significant . Platelets’ number and average of platelets’ volume decreased significantly in both occupational groupsTurning to the biochemical tests, the results showed significant increase in both liver enzymes ALT ,ASTand bili as well as this increase was found in urea, uric acid and glucose values in both occupational exposure groups. Contrariwise, the ALP creatinine and cholesterol did not reveal significant changes in both groups that in comparison with control group. The total protein decreased significantly in the group of more than 15 year of occupational exposure.Testosterone level revealed a significant decline in both occupational groups, while the Follicle stimulating hormone showed a significant increase in the occupational group of less than 15 year and no difference was observed in another occupational group while LH hormone level was not significant.In case of the genetic effects of the ethylene compounds, DNA was extracted for control and occupational groups and amplification was performed for GSTM1, GSTT1 and Albumin by using PCR technique. The results showed that there was no significant effect of both occupational periods on the GSTM1 gene, while GSTT1 gene was significantly in the workers samples in group more than 15 year of exposure, which was 2.43 times more than the group of less than 15 year of exposure.As regards the impact of exposure to ethylene and loss of genes GSTM1 and GSTT1 showed the results of our study, significant increase in the loss of gene GSTM1 amounted to more than five - fold (5.1) among workers exposed compared to a set of control while the proportion of loss of gene GSTT1 by more than three - fold (3. 1) compared to the group control has been a loss ratio of the two genes together more than eight - fold (8.5) for workers exposed group compared to the control.The light smoke did not reveal a significant effect on the null of GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes that in comparison with the control group, while the study found a significant effect of smoking on gene GSTM1, causing the null of much more than doubled (2.2) times compared with the control group (non - smokers) and the significant effect of smoking on null GSTT1 gene loss as increased visits by the text (1.5) compared with non - smokers also appeared that excessive smoking has an effect on the GSTT1 gene causing loss by seven - fold (7.08) once compared to non - smokers.The effect of the age group (less and more than 50 years old) of the workers on the null of both GSTM1 and GSTT1 was also examined. GSTM1 gene was null six times in both age groups of workers more than the control samples. While the GSTT1 was null in age group less than 50 years old three times more than the control group. As well as this absence was two times in the age group more than 50 years old in comparison with control group.It could be concluded from the present study that the exposure of workers to ethylene and its metabolic impact and clearly on blood standards as well as caused a high level of enzymes AST, ALT and bilirubin and high blood sugar levels and lower total protein and high level of urea and uric acid level as well as the low level of the hormone testosterone as it turns out that occupational exposure to ethylene and metabolic outcomes and length of exposure and smoking for workers exposed role in influencing the genes of detoxification, causing null in each of the gene GSTT1 and GSTM1.

Abstract: A total of 210 human venous blood samples were collected from Basrah province ( 190 randomly collected from people living in different regions of Basrah province , 10 blood samples from people who did not have a history of shrimp consumption or dealing with it used as negative control group, anther 10 samples of people who are sensitive to shrimp used as a positive control group). The samples were serologically tested by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) to estimate the distribution of total and specificIgE in the sera of studied individuals . Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was performed to detect the HLA - DQB1*02 , *0302 , *0305 allels. The immunological study included the preparation of two types of Metapenaeus affinis allergens which are the raw allergens and the boiled allergens used in Indirect ELISA test to determin shrimp food allergies by serodiagnosis , while Direct ELISA test was used to estimate the distribution of total IgE by quantitative serological methods in the sera of studied samples. the concentration of protein in antigens extracts was estimated, the protein concentration in the boiled shrimp extract was less than its concentration in the raw extract.The results of direct ELISA test demonstrated a decrease in the level of total IgE antibodies in most of the studied samples , the level of IgE <100 recorded a significant high rate 98.4% which is more than the level of IgE > 100 which recorded apercentage of 1.6% and there was a significant difference between them. The Indirect ELISA test results revealed that the total percentage of IgE distribution of the raw and boiled shrimp antigens were 57.8% and 74.2% respectively and there was a significant difference between males and females .However , the difference was not significant between the age groups P>0.05.The molecular study was conducted to detect the presence of some alleles HLADQB1* 02, *0302, *0305 gene in the blood samples by using PCR . The current study showed that the association of the presence of these alleles and the level of total immunoglobulin is highly significant.Also the current study showed that a high significant difference was found between the positive samples to the studied alleles and the seropositive and seronegative results of raw and boild shrimp allergen specific IgE based on Indirect ELISA (P≤0.01).The results of PCR showed a high frequency ratio of HLADQB1 * 0302 97.2% in allergic patients of shrimp boild allergen and 56.9% in allergic patients of shrimp raw allergen .Also the current study showed a very high frequency ratio of HLADQB1 *0305 98.2% in the individuals who showed positive results for the raw allergen and recorded 65.2%. in the individuals who showed positive results for the boild allergen ,while HLADQB1*02 showed in one sample of studied samples which recorded positive results to raw and boild allergens of shrimp .The current study demonstrated also that the alleles frequency in some of studied samples which are seronegative by Indirect ELISA test , HLADQB1*0302 was 30.9% in raw antigens, while in the negative boild sample was not observed . HLADQB1*0305 was 1.23% in serongative of raw allergen and 16.32% in boild allergen. However, HLADQB1*02 was notobserved in seronagative to raw and boild shrimp allergen.

The study found that the bottom texture was silty clay in station1 while silty in the second and silty mixture in the third station. Other bottom components varied between the three stations. However, pH ranged between 7.24 and 7.55, salinity between (3.2 - 5.3) ppt. Nitrogen from 42 - 150 ppm, PO4 (29.8 - 53.3) ppm, potassium (226 - 346) ppm and Ca+2 from 480 - 986.6 ppm., and organic matter from (10 - 21)%. Three categories of benthic invertebrates were encountered in the studied stations i.e. Gastropoda, Annelida and Insecta, as 25, 16 and 20 taxonomical orders of each respectively. four molluscan species and one order of insects in each of the three stations, while annelida a total of 20 , 11 and 15 species were found in the three stations respectively . the following species were collected during the study Potamothrix hammoniensis (Michaelsen, 1901), Potamothrix bavaricus (Öschmann, 1913) and Psammoryctides moravicus (Hrabe, 1934) of a group of worms Naadd tube and Nais stolci (Hrabe, 1981) and Parainais frici Hrabe, 1941 from Naadd group for the first once in southern Iraq, while generally registers types Nais raviensis Stephenson, 1941 and Homochaeta lactea (Cernosvitov, 1937) of Naadd group for the first time in Iraq. a total of 4497 specimens of benthic invertebrates were collected during the study period (i.e. 1692, 1169 and 1636 from three stations respectively) oligochaetes formed a high proportions in all stations (90.6, 85.2 and 87 %, respectively) and the lowest percentage was for polychaetes amounted to 0.15% and 0.2 % recorded in the first and third stations respectively . out of gastropods Melanoides tuberculata formed the highest proportions ( 55.2 % and 43.7 % and 30.4 % recorded in the three study stations respectively ), but the lowest ratio was 9.7% recorded for the snail Physa acuta in station 2. With respect to tube worm’s group Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri was dominant proportions accounted for 96.9 % in station 1 and 98.6 % in other stations. However, the lowest proportion (0.1 %) was recorded for Tubifex tubifex in station1 and 0.2 % and 0.5% recorded for the species P. moravicus in the stations 2 and 3 respectively. The highest species proportions belong to the group Naididae amounted to 34% and 78.3 % recorded for the species N. stolci in stations 1 and 3 respectively, while in the station2 the worm Pristinella sima was found by 30%. The lowest proportion among all stations was recorded for Pristina aequiseta and Dero nivea amounted to 0.8%. Monthly density of the species recorded during the study was calculated and reached the highest values of 5082, 2058 and 5430 individual / m 2 in the three investigated stations respectively , all recorded for the species L. hoffmeisteri, the lowest value, however, was 11 individual / m 2 were recorded in all the stations for a number of species. Percentage frequency for the species was also studied and found that the species L. hoffmesteria is the only one that occurred during all months in all study stations, as shown by the highest percentage of recurrence (100%) in all months in the stations 2 and 3 , and just eight months in stations1. the lowest frequency (33%) recorded for all stations for a number of species. Stations statistically compared concerning temperature, salinity, pH and dissolved oxygen, as well as densities of molluscs, oligochaetes and the number of species. Significant differences were not found except with dissolved oxygen, which differed significantly between the first and second stations on the one hand and the third on the other hand. Regarding correlation it has been found that mean temperature was positively associated with both pH (r = 0.679) and the mean of salinity (r = 0.350). On the other hand, mean salinity was positively associated with molluscs density (r = 0.331) and temperature was negatively associated(r = - 0.361) with both the number of total species recorded and density of oligochaetes . The total number of species was positively associated with oligochaetes density (r=0.395).

Abstract: Bacillus thuringiensis (commonly known Bt) is a ubiquitous, gram - positive and spore - forming bacterium. The organism produces intracellular crystal proteins, which are toxic to insects, during the stationary phase of its growth cycle. Because of its insecticidal activity, B. thuringiensis has been used as a biopesticide. However, it is still necessary to search for more toxins to control insect orders, which have the ability to develop resistance against such pesticides, and also to provide alternatives for chemical insecticides. The purpose of this study is to isolate B. thuringiensis strains that are collected from Basrah, and to identify the cry genes content of these isolations.In this study, 344 Bacillus species were isolated from 22 soil samples collected from different area from Basrah, fifty six of them (16,2%) were identified as B. thuringiensis strains based on colony morphology , microscopic observation of spore position in the cell and genetic analysis . Most isolations were examined by multiplex PCR using for cry 1, cry 2, and cry 9 universal primers in order to identify the type of cry gene content of these isolations. 82% of the isolations amplified cry1 gene, 76% amplified cry9 and 21% amplified cry2 genes.In this study cloned cry1I gene is using specific primer to amplify full length of gene. The cry 1I gene (2169 bp) amplified product was inserted in to the Pst1 and BamH1 sites of pdrive cloning vector joining technique to produce the recombinant vector. The cloning vector then transformed in to E.coli HB101 and the transformant cells colonies were selected by ampicillin sensitive phenotype, the efficiency of transformation was also determined to be 7,8 ×105cfu/μg. After that the cry1I protein is purified from LB broth media supported with ampicillinand used this protein against Tuta absoluta larva within concentrations (100 μg/ml, 150μg/ml, 200μg/ml) .The effectiveness of the toxin is to kill the larvae were in the concentration of (200μg/ml) in the 24 hours after treatment, while least toxicity in the concentration (100μg/ml) need three days to kill all larva.

Abstract: A total of 420 aquatic birds belonging to four species( Chettusia leucura , Himantopus himantopus, Gallinula chloropus and Fulica atrawere collected in the current study during the period between December 2012 to November 2013 fisolated from Al - Chibayish marshes , eastern of Thi Qar province. Digenetic trematode, Haematotrephus nittanyense was isolated from H. himantopus and C. leucura. Prevalence in those birds were 20.7% , 2.2% respectively. Mean intensity of infection 1.7 , 1.2 respectively. Digenetic trematode , Haematotrephus chengi was found in C.leucura, the Prevalence of infection was 20.7% . These two trematodes were recorded for the first time in Iraqi birds . 2.6% of Ch. leucura were infected with Digenetic trematode , Uvitellina iraquensi , mean intensity of infection was 2.7 . Digenetic trematode , Cyclocoelum mutabile Cyclocoelum mutabile was isolated from F. atra and G. chloropus birds . Prevalence in those birds were 21.2% ,10% respectively. Mean intensity of infection 3 , 3 . Digenetic trematode , Cyclocoelum microstomum was found in 20% of G. chloropus birds and in 15% of F. atra , mean intensity of infection 2.8 , 1.8 respectively.The current study revealed that , most eggs of H. nittanyense , H. chengi and U. iraquensis hatch within the uteri of worms while embryonated eggs of C. mutabile and C. microstomum shed from mature worms hatch within few hours after being placed in water. The mean number of eggs differed between species. Hatching of C. mutabile and C. microstomum eggs did not occur at 12°C . Egg hatching rate of C. mutabile differed from eggs hatching rate of C. microstomum at all temperatures . Temperatures, salinity and acidification of water affectedthe rate of hatching of C. mutabile and C. microstomum eggs , and the results varied between two different species . Storing eggs of C. mutabile and C. microstomum at (0,4)°C for ( 1 - 8) weeks failed to hatch . Storing eggs of C. mutabile and C. microstomum at (7,10,12)°C for (1 - 8) weeks had no effect on hatching success or on eggs hatching rate.A biological study of the miracidia of trematodes which were isolated in the current study showed that , the survivorship and longevity of miracidia were differed among the different species . Temperature, salinity and acidification of water affected the survivorship and longevity of miracidia . Storing eggs of all species at (7,10,12)°C for eight weeks had no effect on survivorship and longevity of their miracidia. The study revealed that , the miracidia of all species were infective to Radix auricularia and Physa acuta snails , but R. auricularia snails more sensitive to infection . The infectivity of the miracidia of all species to R. auricularia and P. acuta snails varied according to the species of these trematodes . Infection rate of R. auricularia snails with the miracidia of all species , mean intensity of infection and the metacercariae output varied according to species of these trematodes, temperature , miracidial density as well as size of snails. Miracidia hatching from eggs stored for 1 - 8 weeks at 7°C not differed in their infectivity to snail. The miracidia of all species hatching from eggs stored for (0 - 8) weeks at 7°C differed in their infectivity to snail according to the species of these trematodes. Age and density of H. chengi miracidia affected the infection rate of R. auricularia snails as well as affected the mean intensity of infection . H. chengi infection had no effect on mortality rate of R. auricularia and P. acuta snails.The results showed that there were differences between the various stages included in the life cycle of the five species of Cyclocoelidae family isolated in the current study . The time required for production and development of these stages varied according to their species, as well as these larval stages were differed among the species in their shapes , sizes and in the product number of them .The current study revealed that , metacercariae of the trematodes which were isolated in the current study fed separately to Gallus domesticus and Anas platyrhynchos failed to produce an infection , although the influence of C. leucura bile on metacercariae of H. nittanyense , H. chengi and U. iraquensis varied according to the species of these trematodes but bile of C. leucura plays a role in increasing excysted juveniles ratios , reduction the time required for excysting and increasing the time of juveniles activity compared with a bile of G. domesticus .In the current study. H. nittanyense showed a clear seasonal cycle of infection in local aquatic birds , H. himantopus ,while the study exposed a clear seasonal cycle of H. chengi infection in local aquatic birds C. leucura . Isolation of U. iraquensis in different periods during the current study from local aquatic birds, C. leucura may refer to its ability to complete its life cycle in a study area. Isolation of C. mutabile from migratory bird at arrival time to the study area may refer to new infections that carried by these migratory birds from their breeding grounds . Abundance of sensitive snails and suitable temperatures in a study area at arrival time of these birds may help this trematode to complete its life cycle in this area thus new infections emerged later and these infections may carry by microstomum isolated from migratory birds only at the arrival time to the study area may refer to new infections that carried by these migratory birds from their breeding grounds as well as this may indicate an inability to complete the life cycle of this trematode in this area.

Abstract: The present study was concerned with some biological aspects of the invasive snail Pomacea canaliculata (Lamarck, 1822) and for this purpose, monthly samples from Shatt Al - Arab banks in the area of Al - Salhia were collected during the period from October 2014 to September 2015. The study included the monthly variations in the density of snail , its egg masses and the population sizes. In the laboratory, the study included many aspects, these are the relationships between female weight with some measurements of its egg masses, embryonic development duration, hatching percentages under different temperatures, food consumption, salt acclimatization, growth under combined effect of salinity and temperature, effect of food type on growth of newly hatched snails and examine samples of snail to detect the infection with parasites if present. The density of the snail was ranged from four to 13 ind. /m2 recorded during January - February 2015 and October 2014 respectively, while the mean density of egg masses was from two to nine egg mass / m2 recorded during April 2015 and October 2014. The statistical analysis showed that the temperature had positive correlated with density of each of snails and its egg masses. On the otherhand, there are positive correlation between the density of each snail and its egg masses. The snails, which had been collected during the study period, were 19 - 68 mm in length, these measurements were classifying into five size classes. The size class 35 - 45 mm was dominanted for nine months, compared with the size class 55 - 65 mm that had less occurrence.The diameter of eggs varied from 2.5 - 4 mm. The 25°C is the most suitable temperature to get a high percentage of hatching and a short period of embryonic development. There was no significant correlation between the weight of the female and the number of its egg masses.The feeding experiment showed that the amount of food consumed lettuce mild during the study period 30 days by one individual ranged from 3 - 29g. The results of the acclimatization was referred to the ability of all size classes' snails to tolerate the low salinity 2.5 psu with 100% survival percentage, while the snails of size classes at least 10 mm and 10 - 25mm were able to tolerate the salinity of 11psu with 10% and 50% respectivly survival.There are variable effects of the combination of temperature and salinity on growth of newly hatched snails for 9 weeks experiment, these effects were reflected on the weight, length and width, and the highest of these measurements were recorded for snails of 2.5 psu - 27°C combination, while the lowest one was recorded in 7.5 psu - 10°C. The lowest survival percentage was 5% recorded for the individuals of 7.5 psu - 27 and 32°C, compared with 90% of distil water - 17°C. On the other hand, the optimum growth was in 2.5 psu all temperatures, while the optimum growth was in all salinities, and temperature of 27°C.The experimental study of five types of food fresh celery, fresh lettuce, fish food, mixed food and animal protein)on growth of newly hatched snails for 9 weeks. Showed that the mean weight, length and width of snails were depending on the food type. The mixed food gave significant increase in growth 382.1 mg weight, 10.10mm length and7.58mm width compared with the other types of food.The highest survival percentage 95% was recorded for the snails fed on celery, lettuce and fish food. The present study on the snail P. canaliculata does not record any infection by the larvae of parasites

Indian Musa acuminata L. In order to develop a program for micropropagation and were to investigate salt stress tolerance through the effect of NaCl, and water stress through Polyethelen glycol(PEG) and knowledge of the growth retardant of Paclobutrazol (PBZ) in multiplication of the branches vegetative and acclimatization and the effect of Abscisic acid(ABA) on improving salt and water stress tolerance. Halves of shoot tips were used explants which were cultured on MS medium supplied 5 m.l - 1 of Benzyl adenine (BA) to stimulate the multiplication of the branches vegetative and treated with different concentrations of sodium chloride and PEG and salt PBZ and ABA were calculating the number of branches vegetative resulting in diameter and height and number roots and length of follow - up and growth of agriculture and then conduct subculture for several times and then acclimatized and transferred to the plastic house.The results of this study can be summarized as follows : 1 - The addition of 0 or 20 or 50 or 80 or 120 mM of sodium chloride to the MS medium affected the multiplication of the branches vegetative in various percentages. This, in turn, resulted in a signficant increase in the required time to initiate the adventitious buds and lowered their number. There was also a significant difference in the percentage of increasing the numbers of those branches by increasing the salt concentrations. 2 - The addition of the concentrations 0 or 0.5 or 1 or 1.5 and 2 mg.l - 1 of growth retardant PBZ together with 5 mg.l - 1 BA resulted in lowering the required time for initiating the adventitious buds, increasing their number, decreased the number of roots and height of stem by increasing the concentration of PBZ.3 - The initial treatment by 1% PEG significantly increased than the concentration 0.5%. This increase included the number of the adventitious buds, number and length of roots, as well as height and diameter of stem.4 - The addition of 0.1 and 0.3 mg.l - 1 ABA to the nutrient medium led to lower th number and length of roots, stem height and diameter. The leaves became dry and yellow when compared to the control treatment. As far as the interactions between the sodium chloride concentrations in question are concerned, the two concentrations 20 and 50 mM showed a more significant difference than the other concentrations 80 and 120 mM in the number and length of roots, and stem length and height.5 - The addition of the sodium chloride to the nutrient medium resulted in a significat increase in the concentrations of sodium chloride ions and a significant decrease of potassium/ sodium percentage. The addition of PBZ, PEG, and ABA resulted in a significant decrease in chloride ion and a significant increase in potassium/ sodium percentage.6 - The sodium chloride treatment caused a significant increase in the leave content of Proline by incresing the salt. The interaction between sodium chloride salt concentrations and PBZ, PEG, and ABA showed a significant increase in the proline content by increasing salt concentration.7 - The treatment by the two concentrations 20 and 50 mM sodium chloride resulted in increasing the leave content of the total soluble carbohydrates, whereas the treatment by the two concentrations 80 and 120 Mm lowered the leave content. Considering the interaction between sodium chloride and PBZ, PEG and ABA, the interaction showed a significant increase in the leave content of carbohydrates at all concentrations compared to the control treatment.8 - The results showed that the leave content of chlorophyl increased significantly at the two concentrations 20 and 50 mM sodium chloride. Also, the treatment by PBZ, PEG, and ABA showed an increase in the chlorophyl content at all concentrations.9 - The resulted plantlets were acclimatized by sodium chloride salt concentrations and by the interaction of Sodium Chloride and PBZ, PEG, and ABA. The plant height and stem diameter were measured and compared to the control treatment.10 - The treatment by PBZ, PEG, and ABA concentrations that are interacted with Sodium Chloride salt concentrations at 20 and 50 mM led to lower the average percentage of lost moisture and increase the percentage of the success of acclimatization. 11 - Add Sodium chloride to the media has led to changes in the process of gene expression and the emergence of differences in the number and location and intensity of the protein packets.12 - The interaction between the sodium chloride and additives PBZ and PEG and ABA led to the disappearance of some packages and the emergence of other packages in different locations, especially packages 3 and 4.

Abstract: The purpose of present study was to detection of Rotavirus A and Escherichia Coli from diarrhea cases in children, and characterization of E.coli phag, in addition to study some of factors that influence on Diarrhea.Stool samples were collected between 15/11/2014 and 1/4/2015 from children 0 to 59 months of age who were hospitalized in Basra hospital for women and children, Basra/Iraq. A total of 300 children with acute gastroenteritis were enrolled, including 199 males and 101 females.In this study among children with Diarrhea was 93/300 (31%) Rotavirus positive cases by Immunochromatographic (IC) test as monoinfection (1.66%), coinfection (26.34%), and mixing infections (3%). Out of 50 IC positives fecal samples were tested using electronic microscope, 50(100%) were found positive. A total of 80 stools were examined for Rotavirus using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The overall agreement was 68/80(85%).Furthermore, regardless of the types of infection, monoinfection or coinfection or mixing, Bacteria was isolated, including; 277/300 (92.33%) children had infections with Escherichia coli, 39/300 (13%) cases with Salmonella spp., While, Shigella spp. was reported in 12/300 (4.01%) samples. The identification of bacterial pathogens was later confirmed by Api 20 Enterobacteraceae system. Also parasitic causes were found in 6/300 (2%) samples.Overall, this study recorded 182 /300 (60.66%) of monoinfection cases including; 5 /300 (1.66%) with Rotavirus, 163 /300 (54.33%) with Escherichia coli, 6 /300 (2%) with Salmonella spp., 2 /300 (0.67%) with Shigella spp., 3 /300 (1%) with Entamoeba histolytica, 3 /300 (1%) with Giardia lamblia. Coinfection with another microorganism was observed in 109/300 (36.34%) cases, coinfection with Rotavirus and Escherichia coli were the most common and occurred in 75/300 (25%) cases.Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed on Muller Hinton agar against five different antibiotics to 30 isolates of E. coli. The antibiotic resistance/susceptibility profile of E. coli isolates revealed that most of the isolates were resistant to three tested antibiotics (Trimethoprim, Ampicillin and Doxycyclin). The phage ɸEC - MH1 was isolation successfully from sewage. The phage titer was determined by serial dilution (10 - 1 to 10 - 9) of the sample by counting the number of plaque forming units (p.f.u.) for each dilution.Results revealed that dilution factor 10 - 2 was the best countable number of plaques. The statistical analysis was significantly decrease P≤ 0.05 in phage titer at the temperature 50C° and 65C° during different times comparing with phage titer at the temperature 37C°. Effects of chloroform on phage titer during different times were completely inactivated comparing with saline environments. Furthermore, regarding some clinical information; the present study showed that 66.33% of the males were more susceptible to the infection with highly significant (P<0.001) than females (33.67%). Mean age (mean ± standard deviation) of all positive cases was 11.02±12.3 months, and the age periods between (0 - 5) and (6 - 11) were significantly prone to the infection.Also, all cases were complained with diarrhea (100%), fever (82.34%), Vomiting (43%) then dehydration (2.67%). In addition, all positive cases become increased in December (32%) and city center (81%). This study showed positive cases increase (69%) of children with artificial feeding

The algal species included Merismopedia glauca, Microcystis flos - aque, Nostoc commune , Oscillatoria pseudogeminata, Four of them were first recorded in Iraq : Lyngbya rubida, Pseudanabaena limnetica, Phormidium laysanense and Stigonema informe. Their ability to produce both anatoxin - a and microcystins was quantified and qualified determined for the first time locally and globally.The growth curve of isolated and purified species was measured after their development in the Chu - 10 liquid medium as measured the growth constant(k) which reached to 0.195, 0.197, 0.246, 0.25, 0.278, 0.29 and 0.528, and the generation time(G) which reach to 1.543, 1.527 and 1.223, 1.204, 1.082, 1.037 and 0.570 hour for the algal species M. glauca, M. flos - aque , P. limnetica, Ph. laysanense, O. pseudogeminata, L. rubida and N. commune , respectively. Neurotoxin (Anatoxin - a) and hepatotoxin (Microcystin) was purified from the blue - green algal species isolated and purified during the current study and quantified and qualitatively by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). The concentration of purified neurotoxin has been identified as algae M. flos - aque, N. commune , L. rubida, S. informe, L. laysanense, O. pseudogeminata, M. glauca and P.limnetica, which were 0.357, 0.511, 0.598, 0.635, 0.705, 1.119, 1.156 and 1.179 μg/L respectively, While concerning the ability of the species to produce hepatotoxin (Microcystins) it has reached 0.973, 6.128, 1.309, 1.753, 6.209, 3.855, 1.733 and 3.701 µ/L respectively.The Ultraviolet spectrum test showed that the neurotoxin ( Anatoxin - a) had a single absorbance peak at a wavelength of 226 nm , and also the purified hepatotoxin (MCs) showed single absorbance peak at wavelength 240 nm. The infrared spectrum test showed that both types of toxins were present on most of the active constituents or active groups of their standard toxins.The half lethal dose concentration (LD50) of the biomass of the eight species of blue - green algae was determined towards the animal crustacean invertebrates larvae Artemia salina. The results showed that the algal species had high toxicity towards the crustacean animal larvae and that the algae that produce the anatoxin - a at higher concentrations compared to other algae in this study was the most toxic to the larvae as the LD50 reached 29.183, 30.66, 30.716, 33.466, 34.566, 35.866, 36.933 and 37.8 mg / mL for the algae P. limnetica, O. pseudogeminata, M. glauca and S .informe, L. Laysanense, N. commune , L.rubida and M. flos - aque respectively. The half lethal dose concentration (LD50) of neurotoxin(Anatoxin - a) purified from blue - green alga P. malimnica against the larvae of Artemia salina, which reached 0.498 μg/L, while the half - lethal dose concentration reach to 2.59 μg/L for purified hepatotoxin (Microcystin) from the blue - green alga Ph. Laysanense The histopathological effects of neurotoxin anatoxin - a purified from P. limnetica for the first time locally and globally on the brain of white mice type Mus muscules L. were studied under low concentrations of neurotoxin (Anatoxin - a) 0.5 and 1 μg / L for a 15 - day exposure period and increased effects were observed with increased concentration. The results of the microscopic examination at concentration 5µg/L showed begin of occurrence vacuolation ,necrosis in white matter in addition of karyopiknosis of glial cells nuclei, and the beginning of congestion of blood vessel and the decay of the epithelial tissue lining the blood vessel. As demonstrated by the examination the begin of occurrence shrinkage of neuron constituent of the gray matter area as well as less thickness of the gray matter compared with control group . The effects were increased with an increase in concentration to 1 μg/L. In addition to the previous effects, there was a significant deterioration in the thickness of the gray matter and the low percentage of neurons with increasing shrinkage in addition to decay of glial cells in white matter and disappearance or swelling of endothelial cells lining the blood vessel and the expansion dilation , greater congestion , vacuolation and appearance of white matter in spongiform shape, addition to increased necrosis, and hyperpigmentation compared to the control group.Some of the behavioral effects of anatoxin - a were recorded on laboratory mice during periods of injection of neurotoxin represented by weight loss. A significant decrease under probability level p ≤ 0.05 was observed in the weight of mice treated with both concentrations of toxin after 15 days compared with mice in control group , In addition to the loss of sight (blindness) and hair loss thick after 7 - 10 days of injection

Abstract: Fifteen isolates of Aspergillus flavus (AFL1 - AFL15) were isolated from multiple sources included soil, compost, seeds, fruits, feed and air. The isolates were identified morphologically then confirmed by molecular techniques. Only thirteen isolates were confirmed positively (AFL1 - AFL5 and AFL8 - AFL15) while two of them were not. A phylogenetic analysis was made which revealed that the isolates grouped according to their source of isolation. The aflR profile and phenotypic AFB1 production confirmed that all thirteen isolates posses the ability to produce AFB1 with significant differences (P ≤ 0.05) among them. Growth rate profile was performed under 30ºC which showed significant differences (P ≤ 0.05) among isolates. According to the above tests, A.flavus AFL14 was selected to be the experimental isolate for the rest of experiments in this study. Comparing to A.flavus NRRL3357 type strain, the impact of temperature, water activity aw and isolate factors was examined to determine the limits and optimum ecological conditions of growth of A.flavus AFL14. The results displayed that the best growth rate was (7.217 mm/day) at 0.98 aw where the lowest was (4.069 mm/day) at 0.9 aw with no growth at 0.85 aw while the impact of temperature demonstrated by outweigh of growth rate at 35ºC (6.201 mm/day) followed by 30ºC (5.272 mm/day) which exceeded 25ºC and 40ºC (4.604 and 4.051 mm/day), respectively.Bacillus subtilis (isolates : BSS1, BSS2, BSS3, BSS4 and BSW) and Pseudomonas fluorescens (isolates : PFMst and PFDL) were elected to be used as biocontrol agents. All the isolates were passed the biochemical identification tests moreover, BSS4 and BSW isolates of B.subtilis and PFMst and PFDL isolates of P.fluorescens were confirmed molecularly which used later in all biocontrol experiments in this study. The ability ofbiocontrol agents to inhibit fungal growth was investigated and the resultsshowed significant inhibition impact represented by significant outweighof B. subtilis BSS4 (99%) on the rest of B. subtilis isolates followed by P.fluorescense PFDL and PFMst (92.29 and 86.19) %, respectively, with nosignificant differences (P ≤ 0.05) among them. The extra - cellular abilityof biocontrol agents to degrade AFB1 showed a high degradation abilityIpreformed by B. subtilis BSS4, BSW isolates and P. fluorescence PFMst,PFDL isolates (100, 100, 97.805 and 97.396%), respectively. Thedegradation residues administrated to rats to determine their effect onbiosystems, the blood parameters showed a significant reduction ofWBC, HB, RBC, and P.C.V while there was a significant increase inUrea, Glutamic pyruvate transaminase (GPT) Glutamic oxaloacetictransaminase (GOT) and MCV in AF+DMSO treatment comparing tothe negative and positive control. Water activity and biocontrol factorswere examined to control aflD and aflR expression and phenotypic AFB1production. When the experiment held using Nutrient Agar medium, asignificant inhibition of aflD and aflR expression (P=0.000 and 0.003),respectively performed by BSW at 0.94 aw comparing to 0.98 aw whileno significant inhibition was observed in the rest of the treatments. Allbiocontrol agents revealed high significant reduction of aflD and aflRexpression (P≤0.001) in each water activity level separately whichconfirmed by HPLC results. The phenotypic results showed that 0.94 awexceeded 0.98 aw in AFB1 reduction (2011 and 4280 ng/gm),respectively which agreed with gene expression results. When MaizeMeal Agar used as a medium, aflD expression presented a highsignificant increase at 0.98 aw relating to the NM level of each individualtreatment (P= 0.000 - 0.03) except PFDL+AFL14 which showed nosignificant aflD expression between both levels. aflR expression revealeda high significant reduction (P= 0. 000) caused by 0.98 PFDL+AFL14and 0.98 BSW+AFL14, respectively, while no significant differenceswere observed in the rest of the treatments or control. The HPLC resultsdisplayed a high significant reduction of AFB1 at 0.98 aw (8447 ng/gm)compared to (219000 ng/gm) at NM aw. The biocontrol agents caused ahigh significant reduction for both aflD and aflR expression (P=0. 000 - 0.043) under each individual water activity level while, HPLC resultsshowed non significant low reduction to the AFB1 performed by BSS4and BSW (25160 and 44790 ng/gm), respectively, followed by asignificant increase in AFB1 amount caused by PFMst and PFDL(267600 and 184100 ng/gm), respectively

Abstract: with the interest of medical and pharmaceutical uses of the natural products from marine fungi , thirty species of fungi belong to ninteen genus were isolated and identified from sea coast sediment of Al - Faw and Al - Seeba .The fungi Acremonium strictium , Geotricum candidum, Fusarium solani ,F.oxysporum , Penicilium sp. ,Trichoderma harzianum exhibited high inhibition activity toward growth of two reference strains of bacteria Escherichia coli (ATCC25922) and Staphylococcus aureus (NCtC 6571). The six selected fungi were grown in liquid culture media PDB at 25°C for two weeks ethyl acetate was used to extract the active compounds from thefermentation liquid media while ethanol was used to extract the active compounds from fungal mycelia .The crud extracts (fermentation and mycelium ) showed different inhibition activity against the pathogenic bacteria , Proteus mirabilis , S. aureus, isolates E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa Klebsella pneumoniae. and pathoginic yeastes Candida albicans, C.tropicals,Cryptococcus neoformans and dermatophytic fungi Trichophyton verrucosum and Microsporium canis . The results revealed that the fermental fungi extracts has more inhibition activity than mycelial fungal extracts.The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of fungal crude extracts were determined against gram positive and gram negative bacteria and pathogenic yeasts and fungi . antagonisum between studied fungi were evaluated , and the fungus T.harzianum has been the more antagonistic effect against other fungi. The toxicity of the fungal crude extracts were tested by using of human RBC at different concentration the result of this experiment showed that all extracts are non toxic except F.oxysporum extract.From all the above results the both F.solni and T.harzianum extracts showed higher activities ,thus these two extracts chosen for further studies. The anticancer activity of both extracts were studied against Hela cell line and the anticancer activity appeared at 250 Mg/ml and 62.5Mg/ml respectivily. The antioxidant activity of extracts were examined by three different methods ,B - carotene ,hydrogen peroxide scavenger and ferrus ion reduction , the results of three methods showed that both fungal extracts have antioxidant behaviours and the T.harzianum extract had more antioxident activity than F.solani extract and the antioxidant activity of both fungal extracts were increased as the concentration of the extracts increase.An optimization of the fungal growth and bioactivity of both fungi were conducted, by using different Nitrogen sources ( Asparagine , Yeast extract , peptone , Ammonium chloride , Sodium nitrate , Ammonium sulphate ) and carbon sources ( Maltose , Galactose , Glucose , Dextrose , Sucrose ,xylose and Starch ) the results elucidated that yeast extract was the best for growth of both fungi on solid and liquid media and high inhibition activity appear with T.harzianum against bacteria isolates , the carbon source starchenriched the growth of F.solani with more activity in inhibition the bacterial growth while the sucrose give high enrichment to the growth of T.harzianum in solid and liquid media with high activity toward bacterial growth. The study also indicates that the beast temperature and pH which gives the higher activity and growth 25°C and pH6 . The effect of different concentration of salinity were studied as well (1%,2%,3%,4%,5%,6% NaCl)and 2% showed the best concentration .The activity of two studied fungal extracts were superior than commercial antibiotic toward bacterial isolates .Preliminary qualitative chemical tests were carried out on the extracts and their chemical nature were identified .TLC technique were used and the chemical analysis showed that F.solani extract consist of two components with constant Rf values, the components marked as A1 and A2 . A1 shows higher activity against bacterial strains while T.harzianum extract consist of one component.The chemical structures of the isolated compound were

Abstract: ELISA technique was used to estimate of histamine in muscles of several types of local fresh fish, including : Tenualosa ilisha, Megalaspis cordyla , Chirocentrus dorab and Scomberoides commersonianus in addition of the shrimp Metapenaeus affinis , all samples of fish and shrimp were collects from Fao markets in Basarah city .Results showed the percentages of histamine in all types of fish, as well as shrimp were : 4.483 and 3.953 and 3.353 and 3.16 and 2.03 mg/kg respectively.Accumulation of histamine in fish after refrigerating for three days was also determinated. Results showed that the values of histamine accumulate were increased within preservation period .On the third day of histamine accumulate of C. dorab , T. ilisha , M. cordyla , S. commersonianus and shrimp were 4.56 , 3.99 , 3.43 , 3.19 and 2.01 mg / kg, respectively. While , on the first day were 4.01 , 3.65 , 3.03 , 2.98 and 1.89 mg/kg respectively .ELISA technique was also used to estimate histamine in Ripening cheese such as cheddar , Alkuda , Almoszerla and Oloadam cheese and smoked Hajdu . They were 4.267 , 2.433, 1.167 , 3.667 and 1.833 mg / 100 g , respectively.Many bacteria were isolated isolated from fishes and shrimp, they identified according to : growth characteristics on selective media, morphological, and microscopic examinations in addition to biochemical tests.Fifty three isolates of bacteria were found, they were : Klebsiella pneumonia sub. pneumonia , Klebsiella oxytoca , Morganella morganii sub. Morganii, Enterobacter aerogenes, Enterobacter cloacae , Cronobacter sakazakii ,AEnterobacter taylorae, Citrobacter freundii , Citrobacter amalonaticus , Proteus marina, Proteus vulgaris , Proteus mirabilis, Hafnia alvei , Escherichia coli, Serratia marcescens, Serratia fonticola , Vibrio vulnificus, Vibrio diazotrophicus , Vibrio hollisae , Vibrio alginolyticus, ,Vibrio cholera, Vibrio parahaernolyticus, Vibrio fluvialis, Lactobacillus helveticus, Lactobacillus crispatus, Lactobacillus gasseri, Lactobacillus reuteri, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus johnsonii, Lactobacillus salivarius, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Staphylococcus aureus , Staphylococcus intermedius , Staphylococcus epidermidis, Bacillus pumilus , Bacillus licheniformis , Bacillus firmus , Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus alvei , Aeromonas. caviae , Aeromonas veronii bv.veronii , Aeromonas eucrenophila, A. sobria , Aeromonas veronii and Aeromonas encheleia .Isolation and identification of Lactobacillus from all samples of ripening cheese were done. Six species of Lactobacillus were found and as a follow : Lactobacillus plantarum , Lactobacillus delbrueckii, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus fermentum and Lactobacillus paracasei .DNA was extracted from all types of G+ and G - bacteria which isolated from fish and shrimp in addition to Lactobacillus bacteria that isolated from ripening cheeses . the DNA of all bacteria was good and pure .Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique was used for identification all isolates of Lactobacillus which were isolated from fish and shrimp, as well as ripening cheese depending on the bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequences of bacteria with using different types of diagnosed primers, genes had been identified for : Lactobacillus acidophillus , Lactobacillus plantarum , Lactobacillus delbrueckii , Lactobacillus fermentium , Lactobcillus helveticus , Lactobcillus crispatus ,BLactobcillus gasseri, Lactobcillus reuteri , Lactobcillus rhamnosus, Lactobcillus paracasei, Lactobacillus johnsonii , Lactobacillus salivarius and Lactobacillus casei .Nine primers were in RAPD technique to find out the genetic link between different strains of Lactobacillus bacteria, the results showed that the number and location of randomized bands were differed in some bacterial species but others was fitted and produced a variety genetic of bacterial strains, in particular a number of bands as possible to get a variety of different genetic profiles among Lactobacillus isolates .The results appeared different styles of bands and presence of specific bands in Lactobacillus bacteria in all primers . The results obtained from RAPD technique showed that the total number of bands were 630 bands, the total number of bands which formed genetically was 127 and the percentage of total proportion of genetic variation among the isolates was 20.15% .The results found of genetic primers scheme that the genetic distance was as close as possible between bacteria L.fermentum and L.rhamnosus and was a part of the one genetic group, but L.helveticus was close as possible genetically to this group , and then the L.johnsonii and L.acidophilus was more genetically distant to this group. Also it found that the genetic distance was very near between L.plantarum and L.paracasei and were a part of a one hereditary group and found also that L.reuteri closest genetically to this group, then followed by more genetically L.delbrueckii . However, L.acidophilus was also more genetically distant to this group .CThe results revealed that L.salivarius and L.crispatus were a one hereditary group and the genetic distance for this group was very close to the L.gasseri and it was farther genetically for genetic group, which includes L.fermentum and L.rhamnosus , also found that the bacteria L.casei showed far genetic distance between them and the groups of Lactobacillus .All fifty three isolates of bacteria which isolated from fish , shrimp and ripening cheeses that producing and did not producing histamine subjected to amplified genes which responsible of the histamine production by using the primers HIS1 - F/HIS1 - R ; JV16HC/ JV17HC ; Hdc - f/ Hdc - r ; 106/107 and UNI - L/ UNI - R . Amplification results showed that all primers used to amplified genes of histamine gene different genes sizes depending on the types of bacteria when were positive or negative to Gram stain and their OrigenIt was found the size of the gene was 350 base pairs , was found in G+ bacteria which isolated from fish , shrimp and cheese ripening . These bacteria included : L.acidophilus ,L.helveticus ,L.crispatus, L.gasseri ,L.casei , L.reuteri , L.fermentum,L.rhamnosus, L.paracasei, L.johnsonii, L.salivarius L.plantarum , L.delbrueckii , S.aureus , S. saprophyticus , S.epidermidis , S. intermedius , Bacillus pumilus, B.subtilis, B.licheniformis, B.firmus and B. alvei .May same results were found when amplified HISI - R/HISI - F primer , the size of histamine gene most positive Gram bacteria stain .High size of histamine gene 709 base pair appeared when amplified Hdc - r/ Hdc - f primer .This gene was found in G - bacteria which isolated from fish and shrimp . These bacteria included : Pseudomonas aeruginosa , Pseudomonas fluorescens, Klebsiella pneumonia , Morganella morganii , Enterobacter aerogenes, KlebsiellaDoxytoca, Hafnia alvei, Enterobacter cloacae, Vibrio alginolyticus, Cronobacter sakazakii, Escherichia coli , Enterobacter taylorae, Proteus vulgaris, Proteus mirabilis, Vibrio vulnificus , Vibrio diazotrophicus, Vibrio hollisae , Vibrio fluvialis , Serratia marcescens and Serratia fonticola .However , the size of histamine gene was 530 base pairs , when amplified 106 / 107 primer , the gene was found in most G - bacteria .On the other hand , the UNI - L/UNI - R primer did not amplify in all isolates of bacteria which isolated from fish , shrimp and ripening cheeses .Extraction of plasmids from all isolated bacteria was done . Results showed that isolates have different types of plasmids bands (small and large size) and when the electric deportation of the genetic material of plasmids on gel agarose while some other isolates appeared possess one plasmid.In this study , PCR technique was not detected the presence of histamine genes in plasmid of bacteria , because not occurred any amplify for any type of primers used . This indicates the presence of histamine genes on the genome of the bacteria and not on plasmids of bacteria .

Control group : were intraperitonially (i.p) injected with 0.1 ml of normal saline.2 - Treated group 1 (T1) : were i.p injected with 0.1 ml of 6mg/kg of Dimethoate for a period of 30 days and represented as a low dose of the pesticide.3 - Treated group 2 (T2) : were i.p injected with 0.1 ml of 12 mg/kg of Dimethoate for a period of 30 days and represented as a high dose of the pesticide. The results of blood parameters in male mice showed a significant decrease in both of red blood corpuscle (RBC) count, hemoglobin Hb and Packed cell volume (PCV) of both doses (6,12mg/kg), and significant decrease in mean cell hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) in dose of 6mg/kg only as compared with control group. while in female, both of RBC count,PCV, mean cell hemoglobin(MCH) and MCHC were significantly decreased in both doses (6,12mg/kg), a significant decreased in Hb in dose of 6mg/kg in comparision with control group were recorded. The results of differential WBC counts of male mice showed significant decrease in total WBC counts in mice injected by both doses (6,12mg/kg),also the percentage of monocytes and granulocytes were significantly decreased in dose of 12mg/kg only as compared with control group, while the WBC count and the percentage of granulocytes were significantly decresed in female injected with 12mg/kg only of pesticide as compared with control group. In the male mice injected with two doses (6,12mg/kg). the results of current study explained decrease significantely in sperm count, and significant increases in percentage of malformation rate of sperm heads and tails , as well as, significant decreases in normal sperm count when compared with control group. The results of present study showed significant decrease in weight gain for male and female laboratory mice treated with two doses (6,12mg/kg) of dimethoate in comparision with the control group. The present data showed no significant differences in the level of liver enzymes Aspartate transaminase (AST) and Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) of male laboratory mice treated with two doses (6,12mg/kg), while significant decreased in the level of Alanine transaminase (ALT) enzyme with dose of 6 mg/kg only as compared with control was noticed, while significantely increased in levels of liver enzymes (AST and ALP) in female mice with two doses (6,12mg/kg), as well as,there was a significant increased in level of ALT enzyme with dose 6 mg/kg only when comparision with control. The level of urea and creatinine serum significantly increased whith two doses (6,12mg/kg), and there was no significant difference with dose of 6mg/kg when compared with control, also, the level of urea significantly increased in the serum of female mice with 12 mg/kg only, and there was no significant differences with 6 mg/kg as compared with control group. The results of histological section for some organs of laboratory mice showed occurrence of histopathological changes in the tissues of liver,kidney,lungs,spleen,testis and ovaries of mice injected with doses (6,12mg/kg), and The severity of the effects were dependent on dose, Histopathological findings of liver included degeneration and necrosis of some liver cells, blood congestion and explansions in the portal vein,central vein and hepatic sunsoids, as well as, the presence of hemorrhage in the portal area, infiltration of inflammatory cells in scattered area of it. In the kidney, histopathological changes showed degeneration of some tubular epithelium,while other cells where observed necrotic, sloughing and metaplasia of some tubular lining cells, as well as, congestion, hemorrhage and infiltration of inflammatory cells in the glumeruli. The histological examination of mice lungs were injected with two doses of dimethoate showed histopathological changes represented by the presence of edemas, infiltrations of inflammatory cells in different areas, hemorrhages and vascular congestion, as well as the occurrence of hyperplasia and swelling of cells lining of the pulmonary alveoli, causing narrowing cavities of those alveoli. In the spleen, the histological changes represented by occurrence of hypertrophy of the spleen nodules, expansion of blood vessels and decrease in the number of megalomultinucleated cells, as well as an increase in the cells of hematopoietic myloid tissue and presence of hyaline material, stained with pink color in the red pulp areas, especially around the spleen nodules. Injection with dimetoate caused histopathological changes in the testis and ovaries of laboratory mice represented by complete analysis of most spermatogenic cells in the seminiferous tubules,leading to decrease their numbers ,we also observed thickening of the basement membrane of some seminal tubule ,as well as vascular congestion and deposition of a live materials in interstitial spaces ,while the histological changes that have occurred in the ovaries included hyperplasia and vascular congestion in the stroma in addition to decrease number of ovarian follicles and corpora leutea.

Abstract: This study was conducted to assess the state of submerged aquatic plants in some areas of East Hammar marsh and Shatt al - Arab River, as measured by some of the chemical and physical properties of water and sediment in six stations, three of which are located in East Hammar marsh (Nagara, Sallal and Almshab) and the other three are located in the Shatt al - Arab (the island Muhammadiyah, Salhiya and Mhella). Environmental surveys of submerged aquatic plants were done and registered their presence, their vegetation cover and biomass as well as the biodiversity indices (diversity and evenness, and dominance) for 12 months from October 2015 until September 2016.The air temperature in the East Hammar marsh ranged between 19 - 45.3 C, water temperature 14.3 - 32.4C , transparency between 20 - 100cm , Turbidity between 20.9 - 65.3 NTU, depth of 50 - 160 cm and dissolved oxygen between 5.4 - 6.9 mg / L, pH between 7.6 - 8.6 , electrical conductivity between 3.8 - 12.5 mS / cm, nitrates between102.23 - 549.64 μg/L, effective phosphorus between 4.15 - 9.6 μg/L . As for the Shatt al - Arab River values ranged : air temperature between 18 - 48 C , water temperature was between 14.2 - 32.3 , Transparency between 23 - 90 cm, turbidity between 12.8 - 68.3 NTU , depth of 60 - 200 cm , dissolved oxygen between 5.4 - 7.9 mg / L , pH between 7.5 - 8.51 , electrical conductivity between 2.8 - 12.4 mS / cm , nitrates between 106.17 - 569.42 μg/L, effective phosphorus between 4.93 - 9.13 μg /L .BpH and electrical conductivity values of the sediments in the Shatt al - Arab and East Hammar marsh were reached 7.7 - 8.3 and 1.08 - 2.91 mS / cm and 7.5 - 8.4 and 1.12 to 3.05 mS / cm respectively, effective phosphorus values in sediment ranged in sediment of East Hammar marsh between 5.69 - 42.51μg/L, While in Shatt al - Arab fluctuated between 5.12 - 40.3 μg/L, and the value of the organic matter in the Shatt al - Arab were 5.6 to 14.5%, while in the East Hammar marsh reached 7.4 - 15%. The sediments are similar texture in the Shatt al - Arab and East Hammar marsh (Silty clay).The presence of three species were recorded in the Shatt al - Arab River included Potamogeton crispus , Potamogeton pectinatus and Potamogeton perfoliatus, while five species in the East Hammar marsh Ceratophyllum demersum, Myriophyllun spicatum , Potamogeton crispus , Potamogeton pectinatus and Potamogeton perfoliatus.As calculated biodiversity evidence was that East Hammar marsh was more diverse than the Shatt al - Arab, while dominancy was clear in the Shatt al - Arab, compared with East Hammar marsh.This study showed that the sudden rise in salinity values as well as increased nutrients led to degradation of water quality, which was reflected on the presence and vegetation cover of submerged aquatic plants as well as biodiversity resulting from the presence of Tilapia and other fish that use submerged aquatic plants as food as well as the human factor.

12)week, that subjected to study effect of thyroxine hormone on blood parameters of pregnant , nonpregnant females ,and bone differentiation of embryos (by using tissue sections method and molecular technique by RT PCR , and qRT PCR), and also known it is effect on weight of fetus and newborns; this group was also subdivided into two secondary subgroup : - control group ; was injected with 0.1 ml of normal saline (0.9%) for 10 consecutive days ,and treated group; was injected with 0.1 ml of thyroxine hormone (0.5mg/kg/day) for 10 consecutive days ,after that, 5 females from both groups were anatomized,while 40 females were mated of the both groups with continuous of injection until the females were subjected to anatomical practices and then the the embryo were taken during varied peroids (9,10,11,12,13,14,15) day. The main second group which included 15 females ,was selected to study the effect of thyroxine hormone on ;sexual hormone ,thyroid hormone and alkaline phosphatase . this group was divided into another 3 subgroups,one regarded as control group which ; was injected with 0.1 ml of normal saline (0.9%) for 15 consecutive days.and second the first treated group (T1) ; was injected with 0.1 ml of thyroxine hormone (0.5mg/kg/day) for 15 consecutive days ,and without mating of the females,and the second treated group ; (T2);was injected with 0.1 ml of thyroxine hormone (0.5mg/kg/day) for 30 consecutive days and also without mating of the females. Results of the present study were shown that the blood parameters were varied in value between periods and groups (decreasing and increasing among normal value ) with exception in few cases , significant decrease of W.B.C , the granular cells ,monocytes, lymphocytes ,lymphocytes percentage ,granulocytes percentage and monocytes percentage during different periods of pregnancy in the treated animals compared with control , and was decreased RBC ,Hb ,HCT percentage ,MCH ,MHCH ,MCV, and PLT in varied periods , and we noticed a significant increase in WBC ,granular cells ,monocytes ,lymphocytes , granulocytes percentage , monocytes percentage , MCHC ,HCT percentage,MCV, and PLT in varied periods of pregnancy in the treated animals compared with control. Our study was exhibited significant increase in levels of T3 and T4 hormones of the treated animals compared with control, with significant decrease in TSH of treated animals , also significant decrease in LH and prolactin H and for groups(15 and 30 days) ,and significant increasing in FSH of second group (30 day) ,when compared with the control , and there was no effect of thyroxine on TEST H level and for 2 periods(15 and 30) , significant increasing in alkaline pho after 30 days from injection with TH H , decreased of body weight of embryos (15 days) and newborns of the treated females ,the current study showed significant increase of lengths of treated embryos (9,10,11,15 days). The histological study was explained the skeletal tissue ossification of embryos during (9,10,11)day post gestation was primitive organs of mesenchymal tissue and The histological study was not show asignificant differences of bone differentiation between treated and control groups,and intramemberaneous ossification was appeared of embryos at 12 days ,in this stage the begining of differentiation of mesenchyme cells was appeared into osteoblast , with a little of matrix like bone between osteoblasts in Mandible near the meckle cartilage , Maxilla, Palatine,and Hyoid, and endochondral ossification as in Ribs, where in embryos (13,14,and 15) The bone differentiation processes were increased of bone (the intramembranous ossification and endochondral ossification),in addition to the growth of previously formed bones,also new bones were appeared in different areas in embryo skeleton like Basal plate,femur,Scapula girdle , pelvis girdle and the Ribs . In other hand, the molecular results of bone differentiation in embryo ,were exhibited peak of expression of some of the genes of bone tissue (Runx2 ,OSX, Osteo(OSC) ,and Sialo(BSP) ) at 13 days of embryo age, also the thyroxine hormone was effected in expression of some the bone genes that included disturbanceas like increasing of expression during peroids and decreasing in other peroids of embryos life. We concluded from the present study that the increase of thyroxine hormone level caused disturbances of blood parameters and gene expression of the bone genes & decreasing of the level of LH & prolactin hormones and increase the level of FSH. This is the first study on the Basrah University

Abstract: In the present study, the effect of human growth hormone on the muscles and gonads of common carp Cyprinus carpio (L. 1758) and red belly tilapia Tilapia zillii (Gervais, 1848) was studied by : - 1 - Studying the effect of human growth hormone on the growth of the two studied species by intraperitoneal (IP) injection of three replicates of control with 120 μg of normal saline / g Body weight and two doses (low and high) with 60 and 120 μg of human growth hormone / g Body weight respectively for both species, then changes were followed up in each treatment after every two weeks of injection by : - a - Pursue histological changes in the muscular tissue by using Cell Profiler software for the first time in Iraq. b - Pursue changes in chemical components ratios of body muscles.c - Measuring of specific growth rate and length - weight relationship for fishes.2 - Studying of human growth hormone effect on the gonads of fishes (adult males and females) with 60 males for each species and a same number of females, all of them injected either with low or high dose with 60 or 120 μg of human growth hormone / g Body weight respectively for both species or with 120 μg of normal saline / g Body weight in fishes of control. This experiment had achieved in a month.3 - Knowing the direct effect of human growth hormone on the follicles by implementing an in vitro experiment with the follicles of carp which implanted in basic salt solution (BBS) then growth hormone was added to the test tubes with two concentrations 5 μg/ ml and 10 μg/ ml, the control follicles were implanted in normal saline. The results of the study revealed that the maximum rate of percentages of the muscle fibers with area less than 314 μm2 for region R1(Dorsal side) was 88.29 % in carp in high dose treatment after the eighth week of injection, while it was 88.00 % for tilapia in high dose treatment after the eighth week of injection, too.In the region R2 (in tail) the maximum rate of percentages of muscle fibers with area less than 314 μm2 was recorded after the eighth week from the beginning of injection was 73.3553 % for carp in high dose treatment and 85.935% for tilapia in high dose treatment.The results showed that 1.00984 and 1.000074 were the highest and the lowest values of condition factor for carp respectively. For tilapia those were 1.009993 and 1.000151 the highest and the lowest values of it respectively.The rate of specific growth rate for length was 0.3616 and 0.44866 cm/day% for carp and tilapia respectively. While the specific growth rates for weight were higher than the comparable one for length and were 1.3489 g/day% for carp and 1.6085 g/day% for tilapia.The results exhibited that the rates of protein percentages for both species in the all treatments in general tend to be higher with progressing of experimental time. Muscle water content percentage rate varied with difference of dose and experimental time. The maximum rate of fat percentage in both species was in control treatment after two weeks of hormone administration.The highest rate of carp male Gonadosomatic index was 6.55% in high dose treatment after the third week of injection, as for tilapia males was 6.103% in low dose treatment after the third week of injection, while the lowest value for this index was recorded after the first week of injection in high dose treatment which as 2.81 and 2.89% for carp and tilapia respectively. For females the highest rate of Gonadosomatic index was in high dose treatment after the third week of injection for both species which was 11.001 and 6.0624% for carp and tilapia respectively. As for the lowest rate of carp female Gonadosomatic index was recorded in control treatment after the first week of injection it was 5.54%, while the lowest rate of this index for tilapia females was 2.99% in low dose treatment after the first week of injection.In the experiment of direct effect of this hormone on the follicles of carp it was found that the highest value of polarization index was 4.12 which recorded in high dose treatment after 48 hours of incubation while it reached the lowest value which was 3.031 in high dose treatment after 24 hours ofincubation.

Abstract: During the period from August 2015 to July 2016, fifty three aquatic birds of Larus genei (slender - billed Gull) family Laridae and 52 of Himantopus himantopus family Recurvirostridae were collected from Al - masehab marsh north of Basrah Province.The current study was focused on these two birds due to its economic importance to the local people of the study area. These two birds were found infected with 10 species of cestodes. Echinocotyle longirostris and Infula burhini were recorded for the first time in Iraq. Larus genei was considered as a new host of Wardium fusa.The isolated cestodes were described and compared with other recorded species at different parts of Iraq and the world.The percentage and the mean intensity of infection of these 10 species of cestodes were counted monthly and seasonly together with single, double and trible infection during the whole year. The main percentage infection was reached to 95.2% and the main intensity was 13.49. In L. genei the percentage and mean intensity were 90.5% and 15.4 recepectively, while for H. himantopus were 100% and 11.8 recpectively. In L. genei the high percentage infection was found in August 2015 and September , November, and December 2016, and during March, April, May, June and July for H. himantopus. A significant difference was recorded between the percentage and the mean intensity of infection.Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique with random 6 primers was used to distinguish between Infula burhini and Acoleus vaginatus wich isolated from the bird H. himantopus due to the morphological similarities.The Scanning Electron Microscope (Pharmacy College, Basrah University) was used to photograph the scolex of A. vaginatus and I. burhini.

Abstract: It was collected 318 mole cricket insects randomly from four regions in Missan including AL Kahala district by 191 insects, AL Mishraah by 62 insects, Kalat Salih by 61 insects and New Hay AL Hussein ( Centre of the city) by four insects. The period was from September 2013 to August 2014. It was diagnosed one species of mole crickets which is G. gryllotalpa decended from Gryllotalpidae families because of its essential charact ristics such as the general form of the insect, shape of the wings and legs, and its site and colour. In addition, there is a large lobe in the front legs of the insect and there one two species of veins in the front wings of the male used to attract females for mating. The life cycle of the insect was studied in the laboratory. Itstransformation is characterized by being imperfect progress, on egg, then a nymph and then an adult. The female lays about 100 eggs oval - shaped and grey in a room in the soil. The period of preegg - laying is approximately 100 days and the percentage of hatchling is 74% . The females remain alive after one day egg - laying is completed while the males remain 13 days after egg - laying. The eggs hatch into nymphs which pass stages of life development andit takes 115 day - Newly hatched nymphs are transparent and grey, its length is 10 mm with antennas and small cerci which are without wings. Wings begin to appear in the sixth stage of life. Then nymphs develop into brown adults with a large filled body. Its length is about 40 mm and all parts of the insect continues to grow in proportion to the size of the insect.After examining these insect, it showed that they are infected with seven species of nematode parasites. They are Binema ornate, Binema korsakowi, Binema anulinervus, Cameronia triovata, Cameronia multiovata, Mirzaiella asiatica, Grylophilla skrjabini. The Prevalence of those nematodes are 18%, 13%, 1%, 2%, 1.0%, 22% and 25.6% respectively. while the mean intensity of infection was 1.5, 1.6, 3.5, 4.5, 8, 1.5,2.15 respectively.Four of these species of nematodes were considered as new record in Iraq, These are : Binema anulinervus : Most important feature in the shape of the high - tail and long that look like a flagella.Mirzaiella asiatica : Featuring male this form of the parasite by the short and broad and meandering tail. The female is characterized by a length of the muscle of the esophagus and the existence of the tapes curled at his side. Cameronia triovata : The most important feature of this parasite egg shaped oval that is flat from one side. C. multiovata : What also distinguishes this form of the parasite is a large and long oval egg.Nematodes were a taxonomically quoited and illustrated.The species B. ornate and G. skrjabini appear repeatedly over 10 months followed by the parasite B. korsakowi for eight months then followed by M. asiatica for seven months, as for the parasites B. anulinervus, C. triovata, C. multiovata for two months

Abstract: اجريت الدراسة الحالية اثناء الموسم الزراعي للعام 2015م على احد عشر صنفا بذريا (غيباني) لنخيل التمر Phoenix dactylifera L. النامية في البصرة وهي اصناف جديدة تسجل لاول مرة, درست ثمان وعشرون صفة من صفات النمو الخضري, وست وعشرون صفة من الصفات الثمرية كما. درست صفات البذور, فتبين ان الاصناف المدروسة اختلفت في الخواص الخضرية والثمرية, اذ اظهرت الدراسة ان كلا الصنفين نبوي والصنف نجمة تميزا بشكل التاج الشبه منفتح في حين كانت الاصناف الباقية مضمومة التاج. وكذلك انفرد الصنف نجمة عن باقي الاصناف بلون الاوراق الاخضر الشمعي. وتراوح معدل طول الورقة من 2.68 م في صنف الوردية الى 4.35م في الصنف نمروشة, كما تراوح معدل طول منطقة الاشواك من 56 سم في صنف دكلة عبد الى 160سم في الصنف ام اللسين. وتباينت الاصناف في معدل عدد الاشواك فكان ما بين 18 شوكة في الصنف وردية الى 47 شوكة في الصنف ام اللسين. واختلفت الاصناف بنمط ترتيب الاشواك على المحور الوسطي فقد انفرد الصنف برماني بنمط توزيع الاشواك الثنائي وامتاز الصنف وردية بالنمط المفرد الثنائي في حين كان النمط المفرد هو السائد في الاصناف الباقية, واتضح من الدراسة ان النسبة المئوية لطول منطقة الاشواك الى طول الورقة الكلي هي من الصفات التي تتسم بالثبات دونا عن باقي الصفات الخضرية. اما بالنسبة للخواص الثمرية فقد تراوح معدل طول العرجون للاصناف المدروسة مابين 66 سم في الصنف رحماني الى 152سم في الصنف برماني والذي يعد من العراجين الطويلة, وانفرد الصنف دكلة داود بلون العرجون الاصفر المائل للوردي اما الصنفين برماني ونجمة فقد كان لون العراجين فيهما اخضر في حين كان لون العراجين في الصنفين وردية ونبوي اصفر يميل للاخضرار واصفر في باقي الاصناف. اما الخواص الفيزيائية المدروسة للثمار فقد سجل الصنف دكل داود اقل المعدلات في حجم الثمرة في مرحلتي الخلال والتمر والتي كانت 5سم3 و2.6سم3 على التوالي, وامتاز الصنف الزريجي بكبر حجم ثماره لكلا المرحلتين الخلال والتمر 17سم3 و10.24سم3 على التوالي, وتبين ان طعم الخلال في الاصناف وردية ودكلة عبد والصنف رحماني والصنف زريجي عفصي اما الاصناف الباقية فهي حلوة المذاق. وامتاز الصنف نجمة بكونه مبكر جدا في موعد النضج وكانت الاصناف الباقية مبكرة النضج في حين كان الصنف برماني متوسط النضج, وامتازت اصناف الدراسة بكون التمور فيها طرية القوام عدا الصنف رحماني الذي كان قوام التمر فيه شبه جاف. واستخدمت الدراسة برنامج التحليل الالي لتحليل المكونات الرئيسة للثمار في مرحلة الخلال, فتبين ان الاصناف انقسمت بمجموعتين وحسب التقارب في البيانات المغذاة للبرنامج فانعزل الصنف الزريجي بمجموعة مستقلة لكون بياناته متفردة, اما المجموعة الثانية فقد توزعت الاصناف فيها الى تحت مجموعة, صغرى ضمت الاصناف دكلة داود ونجمة واقترب منهما الصنف وردية, اما الاصناف الباقية فتوزعت هي الاخرى بتحت مجموعتين. استخدمت الدراسة الجزيئية تقانة PCR RAPD لتثبيت البصمة الوراثية للاصناف المدروسة ولكشف الارتباط الوراثي بينها, وجرى باختبار عشرة بادئات عشوائية من مجموعة OPA وبادئان من مجموعة OPB. تم تحليل نواتج التفاعلات للبادئات مع Genomic DNA الاصناف كافة وكل على حده لتحديد مدى كفات البادئ فكانت النتيجة ان اربعة من البادئات ( OPA0.2 وOPA0.3 وOPA0.5 وOPA0.6) نجحت في كشف التباين بين الاصناف المدروسة, وبينت نتائج التحليل العنقودي للنواتج التفاعلات للبادئات ان الاصناف توزعت بمجموعتين, صغرى ضمت كل من الاصناف زريجي ونمروشة والصنف ام اللسين ومجموعة كبرى ضمت الاصناف الباقية, وقد توزعت فيها الاصناف الى تحت مجموعة ثانوية. مما يشير الى الاصول المشتركة, وبينت الدراسة امكانية انتخاب اصناف بذرية تمتاز بخصائص ثمرية جيدة وتكثيرها لدعم الاقتصاد الوطني. | This study was performed during agronomic season in 2015 on 11 cultivars (ghaibany) Phoenix dactylifera L. that grow in basrah, and these cultivars are new recorder. Twenty eight characteristics of vegetative growth were studied, seed characteristics were studied also. It was concluded that the studied cultivars varied in there vegetative and fruit qualities. The study showed that both cv Nabawy and cv Najma distinguished by semi - opened crown but the other cultivars had closed crown . In addition, cv Najma marked by waxen green leaves. The rate of leaf length ranged from 2.68 m in. cv Wardiah to 4.35m in cv Nammrosha. besides the length of spine area ranged from 56 cm in cv Deglat Abd cultivars to 160 cm in cv Am - Ellsian. The cultivars also varied in the rate of spine number which was 18 in cv Wardiah an 47 in cv Am - Ellsian. The cultivars differed in the style of spine arrangement on rachis since cv Bermany distinguished by the dual style of spine arrangement, while in cv Wardiah marked by single dual style, however the single style was prevalent in other cultivars. The study clarified that the percentage between spine area to the total length of the leaf was one of qualities that characterized by stability that differed from other vegetative characteristics. As for fruit characteristics, the length of peduncle of cultivars concerned ranged from 66 in cv Rahmany cultivars to 152 in Bermany and that was regarded long peduncle. cv Deglat Dawood marked by colour of peduncle which was yellow look like rosy, whereas cv Bermany and cv Najma the colour of their peduncle were yellow look like green and yellow in the rest. As for physical characteristics of studied fruit, cv Deglat Dawood recorded the lowest rates in the volume of fruit during the phases of khalal and dates, the volume was 5 c.m and 2.6 c.m respectively, cv Zraigai distinguished by the bigness of the volume of the fruit for both phases of khalal and date 17c.m and 10.24 c.m. The taste of khalal in the cultivars of cv Deglat Abd, cv Wardiah, Rahmany, cv Zreigai was tannic while the taste of other cultivars were sweet. cv Najma cultivars distinguished by being so early in maturity, the other cultivars were early in maturity but cv Bermany was middle in maturity. The dates of studied cultivars were soft except cv Rahmany that was semi - dry. The study used a program of automatic analysis to analyze the main components of fruit in khalal phases the, it became clear that the cultivars divided into two groups according to the convergence data that fed to the program. cv Zraigai cultivars was isolated in independent group because its data were unique, but the second group ,cultivars in which were classified in small group included cultivars of cv Deglat Dawood and cv Najma and cv Wardiah approached to this group. The other cultivars classified into two groups.The molecular study used P C R RAPD technique to fix genetic print of studied cultivars and to discover the genetic link among them. Ten of random primers of OPA group were tested and two of OPB were tested too. The products of reaction of primers were analyzed Genomic DNA for cultivars totally and individually; to determine the efficiency of primer the results was that for of primers succeeded in discovering the variation among cultivars concerned. The result of cluster analysis of reaction products of primers showed that the cultivars divided into two groups : small group included cv Zairgai, cv Nammrosha and cv Am - Ellsian cultivars, and big group contained the other cultivars in which cultivars distributed into secondary group and that refer to the common origin. The study showed the ability of electing and increasing Ghaibany cultivars that marked by good characteristics to support national economy

Abstract: During this study 23 species belong to 10 genera of imperfect fungi were isolated from different natural sources ( plants, soil , and ari) from Basrah govermanete using different isolation methods.Among the isolated fungi the genus Alternaria was selected to identify its species by using the morphological characteristis by light microscopy and Scaning Electron in Microscope (SEM) and verified by molecular and chemical methods. Eight species of Alternaria were identified namely; A.alternata (isolate1 and 2) A.chlamydospora A.citri, A.raphani , A.longipes , A.infectoria A.tenuissima and A.chrysanthemi based on light microscope examination.Taxonomic relegation of these species were confirmed by SEM image. SEM revealed that there was differences in the conidial wall ornamentation .The molecular analysis using PCR depending on the loci ITS1, and ITS4 700bp which confirmed the morphological identification of most of species namely A.alternata (isolate 1 and 2) , A.chlamydospora , A.longipes , A.infectroia and A.tenuissima. However , A.citri was related to A.alternata, A.raphani was belonged to A.infectoria and A.chrysanthemi is belonging to A.lolii. Nevertheless ,by using the loci OPA1 - 3 there was no variation among the species of Alternaria ,this is may be due to the inadequate method applied.The genetic variation of 36 isolates of A.alternata was studied using 9 - primers by RAPD - PCR technique. All primes gave an amplification of DNA for all the fungal isolates. Among the primers OPC08 exhibited a highest efficacy reaching 235 total bands .In the present study the antibacterial activity of fungal crude extract was tested. It appeared that the extract exhibit an antibacterial bioactivity against E.coli , S.aureus , S.epidermidis and S.saprophyticus.However, the extract of A.alternata (isolate 1 and 2) showed an inhibition growth against all the tested bacterial strains. This study was also revealed that the fungal filtrates of Alternaria species possessed various chemical compounds. However, there were differences in the chemical composition among the fungal filtrates.The results showed that Alternaria species ( A.alternata isolate 1 and 2, A.chlamydospora A.citri, A.raphani , A.longipes) were capable to biosynthesize silver nanoparticles, when the fungal filtrate were treated with AgNO3 solution after72 hrs incubation .Silver nanoparticles synthesis was checked by the change of colour from yellow to brown and confirmed by Uv - vis spectrophotometry at wave length (420, 440 nm). SEM image showed that the silver nanoparticles with spherical shape and size ranged between (20 - 72nm). Aconclusion can be derived that application of SEM,chemical analysis of fungi extracts ,molecular analysis and the silver nanoparticles characteristics are useful in the taxonomy of fungi to solve the overlapping of the morphological identification .Taxonomic key were prposed for the species of the genes Alternaria based on the morphology , chemical compound with the fungal extracts and size of silver nanoparticles synthesized by fungi .Melanin pigment identify by TEM microscope and it appeare like dark drop inside the cell .
