Prevalence and Molecular Identification of Cryptosporidium Species among Human Population in Zakho District, Duhok Province, Kurdistan Region, Iraq

2024-01
Department of Biology
This cross-sectional study was performed to demonstrate the prevalence of cryptosporidiosis among human population in order to determine the effect of associated risk factors on the rate of infection in Zakho district, Duhok governorate, Kurdistan Region, Iraq. The study was performed during the period from August 2021 to May 2022, involved 700 fecal specimens were collected from Zakho General Hospital and two primary schools located in suburban area of Zakho city, Dohuk governorate. The data were analyzed using statistical software version SPSS (25). Cryptosporidium infection was found in 87.57% (613/700) of the examined specimens

Department of Biology/ Faculty of Sciences / University of Zakho
Historically, the desert truffles have been mentioned in the old ancient manuscripts and Egyptian temples in the Arabian region, also known as a “poor native food as alternative to meat. In Iraq its call: ◊ kamaa, kima or chima in Arabic, depending on local dialects. ◊ Dombalan in Kurdish.

Molecular characterization of Fasciola spp using ITS1 and ITS2

2022-01
Department of Biology
Fascioliasis caused by Fasciola species (Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica) is considered as the most important helminthic infection of domestic animals in developing countries. Hundred adults Fasciola spp. were isolated from bile ducts and gallbladder of cattle, sheep and goats slaughtered at different abattoirs in Duhok governorate, Kurdistan region, Iraq.
