description: Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is an endemic disease that causes serious disease and economic loss in the majority of countries around the world. The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of disease on some haematological, biochemical and immunological parameters in Iraqi patients with hydatid cyst. The study included 50 CE patients which their samples were collected from several hospitals in Baghdad, Iraq, for CE removal surgery and 50 healthy controls. The serum was collected from January 2022 to June 2023. The patients group ranged in age was 20–55 years. Rural patients were infected at a higher rate than urban patients (58.00% and 42.00%, respectively), The lung was the most affected organ (74.00%), followed by the liver (18.00%), then the liver and lung together (8.00%). CE patients had significantly higher in number of white blood cell WBC than control group members (11.54 ± 0.23 and 7.87 ± 0.27, respectively). Alsothe levels of haemoglobin (Hb); packed cell volume (PCV), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate ESR were elevated in patients with hydatid cyst (11.84 ± 0.18 mg/ml; 37.49 ± 0.58 mg/dl, and 30.17± 1.23 respectively) compared to individuals in the control group (13.60 ± 0.16; 42.90 ± 0.48, and 8.90 ± 0.91 respectively). They also found higher levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) 33.33% of patients with hydatid cysts. Upon evaluating liver function in patients with CE, it was observed that there were elevated levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (27.86 U/L and 32.74 U/L respectively) compared to individuals in the control group. The results demonstrated that the concentration of TNF-α in the serum of patients with CE was no significant (P < 0.05) compared to that of the controls group (154.44± 10.66 ng/L and 139.58± 7.64ng/L respectivelly).

DETECTION OF ASPERGILLUS FUMIGATUS BY POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION
type: item
description: This research was aimed to isolate and diagnose Aspergillus species from this -infected animals collected. From several Baghdad areas, Fifty samples were taken from animals with respiratory illnesses. Molds were isolated and identified using conventional methods (fungal culture on Czapek-Dox agar incubated at 37°C for 3–7 days, then macroscopic, microscopic examination of the colony with lactophenol cotton blue stain) and molecular methods (PCR for identification). Partial ribosomal DNA (rDNA) from different Aspergillus strains was aligned to find the optimum primers for gene and species identification. A PCR approach for identifying Aspergillus fumigatus-related species was developed utilizing specific primers. To examine the specificities and sensitivities of such primers, 14 putative Aspergillus fumigatus isolates were PCR-tested. Only 3 were verified as having Glip P toxin. The PCR technique was sensitive and detected A. fumigatus isolates and closely related species. Our findings show that these primers can identify A. fumigatus. In a phylogenetic tree study, we compared our ITS sequence (Iraq), OR578448.1 to global sequences. Our sequence was more similar to Russia and Brazil, OR578448.1 and OR727320.1, but more different from Portugal, KF367498.1 and Pakistan, MT316338.1. Detecting the gliP gene in A. fumigatus was especially fascinating because of its medicinal involvement in gliotoxin production. PCR detects Aspergillus fumigatus in aspergillosis quickly, precisely, and sensitively.

type: item
description: In the spring season of 2023, a field experiment was carried out in a private field located in the al-Dura/Hor Rajab area. The purpose of the experiment was to evaluate the effects of various levels of bio-fertilizer (mycorrhiza and azospirillium bacteria) and the addition of organic fertilizer AgriM40 on the growth and yield of sorghum in saline soil. The experiment also examined the influence of two levels of water stress on the sorghum plants. The soil used in the experiment was a saline soil. The experimental design for the study site was the Split Split-Block arrangement with a randomized complete block design (RCBD). The study involved three factors: the primary factor was irrigation breaks, with two levels 5 and 10 days, the secondary factor was a bio-fertilizer consisting of a mixture of mycorrhiza fungus and azospirillium bacteria, with two levels without addition. The sub-secondary factor was organic fertilizer (Agri M40) with three levels (20, 40, and 80L ha-1). The findings demonstrated the improved performance of the I5 irrigation separator treatment in terms of nitrogen concentration in the soil and grain yield, with values of 21.088 mg kg-1 soil and 6969.83 mg h-1, respectively. The biofertilizer B1 treatment outperformed in terms grain yield, with values 6563.17 mg h-1, respectively. Similarly, the organic fertilizer treatment 80Lha-1 surpassed in grain yield, with values of 6551.00 mg h-1, respectively. The simultaneous application of the bio-fertilizer and irrigation had a notable impact on the level of available potassium in the soil and the crop yield, resulting in a concentration of 8.040 mg kg-1 soil and a yield of 171.80 mg h-1. Regarding the simultaneous use of organic fertilizer and irrigation, there were notable disparities observed, respectively. In terms of the triple overlap, the coefficients I10B1C3, I10B1C2, and I5B1C3 exhibited considerable variations in the bulk density and concentration K of soil and grain yield. The values were 1.4…

DETECTION OF ADENOVIRUS ASSOCIATED WITH INCLUSION BODY HEPATITIS IN CHICKENS
type: item
description: Inclusion body hepatitis is one of the disease that cause economic loses in poultry industry. Infection with the fowl adenovirus leads to the illness known as inclusion body hepatitis. Affected chickens showed dullness, depression, ruffled feathers and mild greenish diarrhea with low morbidity and high mortality. Seventy-five samples were collected from various areas around Iraq, including Diyala, Karbala and Tikrit, that were thought to be infected with the fowl adenovirus. The infected chickens ranged in age from 25 to 45 days. After that viral nucleic acid (DNA) was isolated from collected livers. This was followed by testing using conventional PCR by amplification of the Loop 1 gene, which yielded a positive result for the presence of fowl adenovirus. Avian species are at risk of inclusion body hepatitis (IBH) infection, with subclinical infection being the most common type. The study reveals that the liver is affected by a disease that can be diagnosed through necropsy findings such as the presence of multiple genotypes such as FAdV-4, FAdV-8b and E. Molecular tools like PCR offer superior accuracy and sensitivity compared to seroprevalence techniques, which are not specific to the species or type of adenoviruses or their co-infecting illnesses. The current research aimed to clinical diagnosis of adenovirus in chickens and confirmed diagnosis by conventional PCR.

EFFECTS OF PHOSPHORUS, SILICATES AND CITRIC ACID ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF PEPPER IN GREENHOUSES
type: item
description: The research was conducted in a plastic greenhouse at the College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences, University of Baghdad - Jadiriyah Campus, during the 2021-2022 season, to study the effect of phosphorus, silicon, and citric acid on pepper plants using a factorial experiment design with three replicates. The first factor had three levels of phosphorus (P2O5): 0 kg hectare-1 (P1), 160 (P2) and 320 kg h-1 (P3),the second factor had three levels of potassium silicate 0 kg h-1 (S1), 75 (S2) and 100 kg h-1(S3), and the third factor had four levels of citric acid 0 kg h-1 (C1), 2 (C2), 4 (C3) and 6 kg h-1 (C4). The results of the statistical analysis showed the superiority of the P3S2C4 treatment in increasing plant height (160.20 cm plant-1), the P2S3C3 treatment in leaf area (631.3 dm2 plant-1), the P2S3C4 treatment in the concentration of phosphorus in the leaf (0.470%), and the treatment P2S2C1 in the concentration of silicon in the leaf (18.50 ppm). The P3S3C4 treatment is the number of lateral roots (14.27 roots plant-1). The P2S3C4 treatment is the number of fruits (48.34 fruits plant-1) and the P3S3C4 treatment is the plant yield (3.48 kg plant-1).
