The Giardia lamblia is known as a considerable cause of diarrhea in human. Difficulties are confronted in the detection of that parasite in patients’ faces because of intermittent excretion of the parasite.In this study it was determined specificity and sensitivity of floatation methodby zinc sulphate solution and ELISA assay for Giardialamblia detection compared with direct iodine stain methodAmong 82 patients who were attending AL-Door hospital through period of September to December 2018. The prevalence of Giardiasis was 32.9% and 67.1% was negative. As well this study showed that the percentage of G. lamblia infection was 31.7% by direct iodine stain method, 29.3% was by floatation methodand the sensitivity ratio was 92.3%, specificity was 100%,While 32.9% was positive by ELISA assay and the sensitivity ratio was 92.3%, specificity was 94.6%. Also our study found that the prevalence for Giardiasis depending on gender in this study was 67% for male, 33.3% for female. The results of study were showed the prevalence of infection was 23.2% in age group 8-25 years, 7.3% in 26-35 years and 2.4% in age group 36-45 years. The distribution of infection depends on residencewhich was 20.7% for rural and 12.2% for urban

Zinc Sulphate Solution

Pigeons were made anosmic by unilateral treatment of their olfactory mucosa with a zinc sulphate solution and by plugging the contralateral nostril. In a series of releases at unfamiliar sites, 55­79 km from the home loft, the experimental birds' homing behaviour was compared with that of two control groups: unmanipulated control birds, and birds subjected to unilateral zinc sulphate treatment and equipped with an ipsilateral nasal plug. The experimental pigeons exhibited homing behaviour ­ in terms of both homeward initial orientation and homing performance ­ significantly poorer than that of both unmanipulated and treated control pigeons. In addition, the homing behaviour of the treated controls turned out to be only slightly, and not significantly, poorer than that of the unmanipulated birds. The results show that the impaired homing capabilities of the zinc-sulphate-treated birds are due to the lack of navigational information and not to non-specific brain damage caused by the experimental treatment.

Zinc Sulphate Solution

Sodium dithionite is proposed as a new demasking agent for the rapid and selective complexometric determination of thallium(III). In the presence of diverse metal ions, thallium (III) was first complexed with excess EDTA and the surplus EDTA was then titrated with a standard zinc sulphate solution at pH 5-6 (hexamine buffer) using Xylenol Orange as the indicator. The EDTA equivalent to thallium was then released selectively with sodium dithionite and back titrated with a standard zinc sulphate solution as before. Reproducible and accurate results were obtained in the range 4-100 mg of thallium with a relative error of +-27 % and a coefficient of variation (n = 6) of not more than 0.30 %. The effects of various diverse ions were studied. The method was applied to the determination of thallium in its complexes and in alloys.
