 Four aphid species belonging to the Tribe Fordini (Homoptera, Aphididae,  Eriosomatinae) induce galls on Pistacia trees in North Iraq (Kurdistan) were recorded in this study. Molecular phylogeny of Iraq Fordini species was constructed for These species (Forda riccobonii, Paracletus  cimiciformis, Baizongia pistaciae and Forda marginata), based on sequences of mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase I (COI)  gene of these aphid species to detect  the relationship and taxonomy of  Iraqi species for tribe Fordini. Our results confirmed that each of Forda and Paracletus are a sister genus, or monophyletic group by designing in same clade, while B. pistaciae  is separate from other clades, supporting the taxonomic division of the tribe Fordini  into two subtribes (Fordina and Baizongina).

This study was carried out to detect Theileria infection in sheep and goats in Kurdistan region, Iraq from June 2019 to April 2020. Molecular method was used to identify Theileria species. Sixty- seven blood samples were taken from 45 sheep and 22 goats based on clinical signs of theileriosis during tick activating season. The 67 samples were PCR edm and as a result, 20 species-specific PCR were positives (26.67% (12/20) were Theileria ovis in sheep and 36.36% (8/20) were from goats). The results of the gene analysis in the current study were registered in NCBI under four accession numbers (MN889986, MN889987, MN889988 and MN889989), which shows that sheep and goats can be infected with Theileria ovis. This is the first report of Theileria species in goats with clinical theileriosis in Kurdistan, so the gene flow and disease transmission between sheep and goats is most expected. PCR is a useful diagnostic tool to detect ovine theileriosis with a single test and suggested that T. ovis is the dominant piroplasmid agent in Erbil. In addition, it revealed that sheep is very susceptible to theileriosis than goats
