Identifying the animals carrying Babesia is importance in controlling and preventing the disease. Microscopic observation of the protozoan parasite in the stained blood in the acute form and serological tests is helpful, but most Babesia species cannot be differentiated, and false positive and negative results are generally observed in these tests. Our purpuse was to Assessment the prevalence of Babesia parasite in Andimshek city sheep during spring and summer of 2022 and gender and age effects on it, using the molecular method of polymerase chain reactionIn the spring and summer of 2022, 100 females and 100 male apparently healthy sheep from different areas of Andimshek city were completely randomly blood sampled and sent to the laboratory. After extracting DNA from blood, polymerase chain reaction and electrophoresis was performed. Data were statistically analyzed using spss software and T-test statistical method and mean and standard deviation were calculated. The prevalence of Babesia blood parasite in the female sheeps were higher than males. Also prevalence of this blood parasite in sheep over 2 year’s old was higher than under 2 years. But the prevalence rate in males and females in different ages and different months of spring and summer was not significant. The results showed that the prevalence of Babesia blood parasite in Andimeshk city sheeps in spring and summer does not depend on sex, age and season. Manuscript profile -

This terminus can harm its host by sucking blood and transmits many pathogenic organisms that cause animal and human diseases. To carry out this study, 434 ticks were collected from 2360 sheep and 123 cows from villages around Durood city. The samples were taken to the laboratory for testing. Because the purpose of the investigation was the cephalus tick, we grouped this tick into 4 groups including male and female groups with different weights. We prepared different dilutions of fuxim and cypermethrin with normal water and exposed each group to these toxins by flotation method. The effect of poison on the larvae of Rhipicephalus sanguineus mite was investigated by the method of preparing a filter bag .Rhipicephalus female tick showed more resistance to cypermethrin poison, therefore, excessive consumption of poisons should be prevented and on the other hand, poisons should be used in combination to prevent tick resistance Manuscript profile -

Salmonella-infected poultry meat is the primary cause of infection transmission, so identifying the prevalence of Salmonella infection in poultry flocks is a necessary step in taking appropriate control measures to prevent the transmission of infection to human communities. For random sampling, 100 chicken livers were purchased from supermarkets in Malayer city, then sent to the laboratory to evaluate the level of Salmonella infection.After performing bacterial tests, Salmonella serotype was determined using PCR method.In the present study, it was found that 2% of chicken liver was infected with Salmonella bacteria. It should be noted that 2% of the samples had bacterial contamination. It was also found that the predominant salmonella serotype in chicken livers of Malayert city is Salmonella enteritidis. According to the results of the present study, it can be concluded that food of animal origin is a good source for the growth of Salmonella in the country and it is recommended that to prevent bacterial contamination, strict health measures to prevent Contamination of water and food should be done and other livestock products should be cooked enough.

The viability of protoscolex was determined with 1% eosin dye with a light microscope. 2 groups of 4 female (group one) and male (group two) rabbits were tested. One sample from each group was not prescribed any drug or protoscolex as a control. Three rabbits from one group were injected intraperitoneally with one milliliter of cyst fluid containing about 2000 live protoscolex. The same amount of lung cyst was administered to three others from group two. After 45 days, the rabbits were killed with ether and autopsied, and cysts were isolated in two cases on the liver and peritoneal area. The size of the cyst in one female rabbit included a liver cyst of 12 mm in length and 7.8 mm in width, and in another rabbit, an abdominal cyst of 8.5 mm in length and 2.7 in width was seen. but they lacked liquid and protoscolex, so it seems that the protoscolex hydatid cyst of sheep has the ability to produce cysts in laboratory animals.

Livestock contamination rates in this region are estimated to be about 70-100% in different parts of the world. Today, various species of Sarcocystis are known in humans and domestic animals. Infection with this parasite is very severe in some hosts, for example cattle, sheep and goats. Human beings can be host interfaces and can be the final hosts for this parasite. This parasite reduces appetite, make fever, weight loss, general weakness, anemia, reduced milk yield, make abortion, and sometimes cause death in hosts like cows, sheep, goats and pigs. It can not be diagnosed with clinical symptoms only. Rice like cysts are identifiable in the tissue of some animals. Under the microscope, cysts are in various sizes and contain bradyzoite, which are seen as basophilic, which are referred to as Miescher objects Manuscript profile -

Based on the patient's history, walking of the stallion on the tarmac path immediately after shoeing caused severe swelling of metacarpal region and traditional remedy were performed by dressing crashed fresh garlic on the affected area for 3 days. Clinical examination and radiographic evaluation showed vast skin and subcutaneous wound and injury, tissue necrosis, massive granulation tissue formation and metacarpal bone involvement. In laboratory investigation of hemogram, severe leukocytosis along with mild left shift, toxic neutrophil and fibrinogen increase were observed. Wound management consisting of second intension of wound healing like as debridement of granulated and necrotic tissue and lastly, dressing the ulcers with local silver sulfadiazine, NSAID prescription and stall resting were ordered. Spite of many advantageous of fresh garlic as an herbal treatment, there were rarely documents of skin burn due to local application of raw garlic in human and the present study would be counted as the first report in horse after traditional remedy.

The purpose of this study was to determine the abundance of Ectoparasites and gastrointestinal helminth of native chickens in Kerman.Method: One hundred native chickens selected randomly during summer, fall, springs, and winter. Gastrointestinal helminth and ectoparasites were identified using microscopic examination. Result: Totally of 100 native chickens investigated, 64 were infected and 36 were uninfected. The Present study shows that native chickens in Kerman are infected with Subulura brumpti, Ascaridia galli, Rallietina tetragona, Rallietina echinobothrida, larvae of Argas tick, and Menacanthus stramineus. Discussion and conclusion: Statistical analysis showed significance association between sex, season, and contact with another animal. While no significant association was found between age and helminth infection. With regard to importance of breeding of poultry and effect of internal and external parasites on poultry production as well as human health, it is hoped that the research could increase the knowledge of experts and executive organizations.

This study was conducted to compare the immunogenicity of live and killed Newcastle disease vaccines by measuring the hemagglutination-inhibiting antibodies in the sera of broiler chicks. For this, 270 day-old chicks (Ross) were allocated to 6 match-weighted groups (A through F). Group A was non-vaccinated control; group B received B1 and Clone 30 live vaccines by eye-drop at days 10 and 31, respectively; groups C and D were injected subcutaneously with killed vaccine at days 3 and 10, respectively; groups E and F received killed vaccine at days 3 and 10, respectively, and were also given live vaccines according to group B. From each group, four chicks were randomly selected and bled on day 3, and also 12 chicks on days 10, 17, 24, 31 and 38. Then, the collected sera were assessed by hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) test. The results show that up to day 17, there was no significant difference in HI titers among experimental groups; compared with groups which received killed vaccine only, groups given live vaccines had a significantly higher antibody level at days 31 and 38. In conclusion, live Newcastle disease vaccines, even if not repeated, give better immunity when compared to killed vaccine, and if they were used together the immune response would be stronger.
