Urine samples for bacterial cultures (697) and (604) blood samples for packed cell volume, haemoglobin concentration total plasma protein , blood urea nitrogen and creatinine level were collected farms and veterinary clinics (control) and two cow stations in Al- Latifia and Al Dijala.  The bacterial cultures revealed negative results in the control cows , while bacteria isolated from urine samples in the two stations were similar, and they were Staphylococcus aureus, Corynebacterium renale, haemolytic Escherchia coli . and Corynebacterium pyogenes ( 32, 35,15,8) in Al- Latifia station and (84,136,135,8) in Al-Dijala station respectively  Blood examination showed that packed cell volume, haemoglobin concentration, and total plasma protein showed low levels in Al- Dijala , while blood urea nitrogen and creatinine level showed higher levels in the same coup of cows in comparision with the control and Al Latifia cows.  Infectious pustular vulvovaginitis infected the reproductive system of all cows examined in the Al - Dijala station was behined the 100% bacterial isolate . The numbers of bacterial colonies in cultures from this ststion were more than ( 100000 ) coloni / cc. urine. The prevelance of urinary infection at the age of 3, 4,5,6,7years was 6.25% ; 16.47% , 25.71% , 27.77% and 20.75% respectively and the over all present of bacterial isolates in this study was 36.4%.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of transport 12 hours on  haematological and some biochemical responses of local Indonesian sheeps.  Ten adults (2.0-2.5 years)  male local Indonesian sheeps  BW adult 30-40 kg were transported by L-300 pickup truck starting at 3:00 pm to 3:00 am on the d 2 without stopping. Jugular blood were collecte-d at 7 am (-8 h pre- transportation as baseline), 15:00  immadiately after (0 h),  19:00 (4 h), 23:00 (8 h) ,  03.00 (12 h ), and at 11.00 d 2 (+8 h)  post-  transportation as recovery period). Under  the conditions of the present study, transport of local Indonesian sheeps significantly increased glucose  during 4 h  transport (P <0.05), increased eosinophil at 0 h (P <0.05) and no significant changed in erythrocytes, haemoglobin , monocytes, neutrophils, lymphocytes, leukocytes,  packed cell volume (PCV), and total plasma protein (TPP) (P> 0.05). Our findings showed that transportation 12 h affected  eosinophil during 0 h and glucose metabolism during 4 h of transportation, but did not any affect on some haematology and dehydration responses in local Indonesian sheeps.

A study of blood parasites in small wild non-flying mammals was undertaken in three areas of the Atlantic Forest in Southeastern Brazil: Serra de Itatiaia, RJ, Serra da Bocaina, SP and Serra da Fartura, SP, from June 1999 to May 2001. A total of 450 animals (15 species) were captured in traps and it was observed in 15.5% of the blood smears the presence of Haemobartonella sp. and Babesia sp. in red blood cells. There was no statistically significant difference between parasited and non-parasited specimens regarding total plasma protein, packed cell volume and body weight, which strongly suggests that these specimens might be parasite reservoirs.

Acute decompression is associated with a shortening of the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). This study was performed to examine whether this change in aPTT results from hypoxia or hypobaria. We exposed healthy adults on three separate occasions to 2 h of 1) hypoxic hypobaria (410 Torr, n = 5), 2) hypoxic normobaria (fractional inspired O2 tension = 0.11, n = 4), or 3) normoxic hypobaria (410 Torr breathing supplemental O2, n = 5). The aPTT shortened during hypoxic hypobaria and hypoxic normobaria (P less than 0.05) but was unchanged during normoxic hypobaria. The prothrombin and thrombin times, hematocrit, and concentrations of fibrinogen, total plasma protein, and fibrinogen-fibrin fragment E were unchanged. During hypoxic hypobaria biologic levels of prekallikrein, high-molecular-weight kininogen, and factors XII, XI, X, VII, V, and II were unchanged, but procoagulant VIII (VIII:C) increased 50% without an increase in VIII-related antigen levels (VIIIR:Ag). Fibrin monomer was not detected in any group. In one subject who became ill after 1.5 h of hypoxic normobaria aPTT shortened by 10 s; the platelet count decreased by 93,000/mm3; VIII:C increased fivefold, but VIIIR:Ag only increased three-fold. We conclude that it is the hypoxia which shortens aPTT during acute decompression to 410 Torr and speculate that it results from an increase in plasma VIII:C-like activity.
