Abomasum, liver and lung of l2 adult moulllon (o;is ammon
musiomon p) were investigated for helminths parasite which belong to ahcrd of about
170 animals. Tow species of nematoda and one fluke all from the digestive tract were
found Q L and Q (/(.'n(/I‘iI£'1_u_)g The present linding of these
parasite were considered the first in Iraq.

Astudy on the occurrence ofhydatidosis and liver fluke infection in slaughtered animals
was carried out overyear ( l999_200()) at basrah abattiors . the study carried 1851 sheep ,655
cattle and 172 but't'alo. The study showed 134 (7.2%) .55 (8.3% ) and 64(36 . 5 %) had

Several physiological variables related to salinity acclimation in Liza abu were
examined, using oxygen consumption rate and glucose level as an indication of
osmoregulatory energetic. l~'reshwater acclimated I.. aim were transferred to two salinity (7
and 15 g/L) oxygen consumption rates. glucose levels and plasma ion concentrations (Na i.
K’) were measured after three days of transfer to higher salinity. Plasma ion concentrations
were elevated after transfer. Blood glucose level increased after transfer to salinity 7 g/L
while its level decreased in salinity 15 g/L compared to its level in freshwater. Oxygen
consumption rate increased one and half time of that in freshwater but no significant
difference were noticed in oxygen consumption rates between fish in both salinities (7 and
15 g/L) .'l'he amount of metabolic energy consumed during salinity acclimation were also
determined. The result showed that the physiological changes associated with salinity
acclimation impose a significant short - term energetic cost

A case control study was conducted in Busrah at the period from March to
September 2002 . The population included in this study was divided into two groups . The
first group was included patents with G6pD deficiency and the second group was included
normal individuals as a control group .
Stool samples were collected from both groups for bacteriological e.'amination .
This study revealed that ; there was an association between G6pD deficiency and
Salmonella typhi carrier state and this association was statistically significant in urban
rather than rural area .

In an assessment of cell mediated immunity against Salmonefl g_'p_h_i antigen in
Guinea pigs following their intraperitoneal injection with sensitized spleen cells. The
results were revealed a high level of cell mediated immunity against Salmonella typh_i_
antigen in the Guinea pigs intraperitonealy received the sensitized spleen cells (5x1 08/1111).
The level of cell mediated immunity was detected using delayed type hypersensitivity test.
Macrophages migration inhibition test and Erythrocytes rosette test.
The nonnal (nonsensitized) spleen cell recipient group (control group) was showed no
level ofcell mediated immunity using these tests.
