AbstractA study was carried out to determine the prevalence of abomasal nematodes of sheep and goats slaughtered in Awassa town from January 2006 through June 2006 with special emphasis given to Haemonchus spp. and to characterize vulvar morphs of female Haemonchus worms. During the study period 180 abomasa of sheep and 132 abomasa of goats were examined. Three genera of nematodes were identified in both sheep and goats abomasa with overall prevalence of 91.1 % and 87.1 % respectively. The specific prevalence rates observed were 81.1 % for Haemonchus spp., 47.2 % for Trichostrongylus axei, and 19.4 % for Teladorsagia spp. in sheep and 76.5 % for Haemonchus spp., 39.4 % for T. axei and 20.5 % for Teladorsagia spp. in goats. Out of 653 female Haemonchus recovered from sheep, 37.8 % had a linguiform vulvar flap, 30 % knobbed and 35.4 % smooth vulvar morphs. Out of 448 female Haemonchus recovered from goats, 43.8 % had linguiform vulvar flaps, 27.2 % knobbed and 29 % smooth morph type. A total of 239 linguiform female Haemonchus from sheep were further classified in to 15.1 % linguiform A (LA), 17.5 % linguiform B (LB), 39.7 % linguiform C (LC) and 27.6 % linguiform I (LI) and similarly from goats 196 linguiform female Haemonchus were further classified into 11.2 % LA, 12.2 % LB, 44.9 % LC and 31.6 % LI. Similar findings were observed in both host species regarding the worm burden, prevalence of infection and morphological pattern of Haemonchus species. Generally a high infection rate with abomasal nematodes was observed in both sheep and goats of the study area.

Autopsy study of 218 (106 male and 112 female) animals slaughtered in Baghdad ( Al-ZAWRA ) Zoo, of central Iraq (Diyala, Wasit, Baghdad) .The total infection rate of Setaria equina was 11.9% and the highest infection rate (22.2%) was recorded in October, where is no infection in January, February and August. It has been observed that the high infection rate (14.5%) during the months of spring and autumn (18.8%) and decrease in winter and summer 3.6% and 10%. Female donkeys with a higher proportion (13.5%) than male10.3% respectively differences ( P < 0.05 ).Worm intensity ranged between 1-6 worm and was shown high worm burden in Autumn and Spring fallowed by Summer and finally Winter seasons, which no infection was recorded in some months of it

High Infection

<p>The proportion of critically ill patients from neurosurgery wards in hospitals is significantly higher than that from other departments. These patients suffer from low immune. At the same time, because of the severe trauma after surgery and the complexity of pathogens in patients, antibiotics are frequently used. However, the of bacterial drug resistance is relatively high because of the particularity of hospitals, which is a major reason for the high infection rate of neurosurgery patients. Therefore, regarding to these risk factors, intervention measures should be actively explored in hospitals, so as to control the infection rate, reduce the possibility of infection in neurosurgery patients, improve the rehabilitation efficiency of patients, and reduce unnecessary suffering of patients caused by infection. This is also an effective means to improve the quality of hospital medical care. </p>

AbstractFrontal recess cells have many types with different sizes, arrangement, and extend. It plays an important role in successful functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) as most causes of failure are related to it. Outline the prevalence of the frontal recess cells, pathological incidence of each cell regarding to frontal sinus pathology. Prospective study on 100 consecutive patients (200 sides) complaining from nasal and sinus symptoms which did not respond to medical management and indicated for FESS. Anterior group was infected in 30.8%; agger nasi cell (ANC) present in 97% (25.8% infected, 74.2% not infected), supra agger cell (SAC) present in 48% (39.6% infected, 60.4% not infected), supra agger frontal cell (SAFC) present in 11% (36.4% infected, 63.6% not infected). Posterior group was infected in 24.8%; supra bulla cell (SBC) present in 72% (30.6% infected, 69.4% not infected), supra bulla frontal cell (SBFC) present in 23% (17.4% infected, 82.6% not infected), supra orbital ethmoid cell (SOEC) present in 42% of cases (19% infected, 81% not infected). Medial group [frontal septal cell (FSC)] was present in 21% (33.3% infected, 66.7% not infected). FSC, SAC, SAFC, and SBC showed high infection rate in association with infected frontal sinus, while, the SOEC, ANC, and SBFC did not have such high infection rate. Frontal recess cells show no difference in their prevalence either if the frontal sinus infected or not, however their infection rate show significant difference.

A survey in Busoga District, Uganda, where an outbreak of sleeping sickness was detected, has yielded an infection rate with T. brucei subgroup in G. fuscipes of 4.8%. Isolation of the infected flies was by feeding of the flies on mice, followed by trituration and inoculation of a suspension of the triturated flies into mice. The mice were treated with cyclophosphamide to reduce the immune response. The percentage infection as determined by inoculation of triturate was 4.1%, whilst that by feeding on mice was 1–8%. Amongst the 19 strains of T. brucei subgroup isolated, four were identified as T. rhodesiense by the BIIT method.

Based on the epizootological research conducted in eight communities of four Armenian regions the prevalence rate of viral diseases of larva sacbrood and chronic bee paralyses has been determined. High infection rate has been recorded in the Syunik region. The clinical signs of the larvae and bee detected in the infected beehives coincided with the symptoms of the mentioned diseases. Bee deaths can lead to the yield reduction and cause damage to agriculture. Thus, it is necessary to detect the common viral diseases and develop efficient struggling measures.

High Infection

A new kind of respiratory infectious disease, COVID-19, which first occurred in Wuhan, China, on December 31st, 2019, has affected all over China. After that, the first case of COVID-19 in South Korea was confirmed on January 20th, 2020. Currently, on April 7th, the accumulated number of confirmed cases is 10,331, with 6,694 among them released from quarantine. Age distributions among the confirmed cases shows that patients between 20-29 occupy the most portion with 27%. Te younger generations occupies the highest portion of the confirmed cases. Additionally, as their high infection rate can serve as a risk factor of spreading the disease to their family members, they should actively participate in the prevention of the disease by thorough practice of social distancing. Their participation is expected to serve an important role in ending COVID-19.
