Prevalence of Eimeria spp in buffaloes in Mosul city

The present study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of Eimeria sp . In buffalo from different regions of Mosul city included (Al-Kabat, Al-Shalalate, Badosh, Al-Rahmania) ,150 Fecal samples was examined form 2019-2020. The total infection rate was (38%) , five species were diagnosed; they are E.bovis 32%, E.subspherical 22.7% , E.zuerni 18.7% , E. ellipsoidalis 16.7% , E. auburnensis 6.7% . the study showed the higher infection rate by Eimeria bovis , The mixed infection with more than two species of Eimeria represented the highest rates and it was reported in 49.1%.The infection rate in the young animals(1-2 years) was higher (89.3) comparing to the rate in the a dult , according to the sex there is no significant difference between the male 33.3% and female 41.1% . histopathological examination characterized by emergence of different stages of parasite in the epithelium of intestinal, construction of intestinal gland cavities , severe hyperplasia of epithelial cell and presence of oedema between muscle fibers with infiltration with inflammatory cell .

Effects of Terminalia chebula Retz. on the Secretion of Somatostatin in the Small Intestine in Mice

Objective: This study investigated the effects of Terminalia chebula Retz. (TC) and its two processed products Rubia cordifolia L. per Terminalia chebula Retz. (RTC) and Euphorbia fischeriana Steud per Terminalia chebula Retz. (ETC) on the secretory activity of somatostatin cells in the small intestine in mice. Methods: A total of 168 twenty-day-old SPF Kunming mice were randomly divided into seven groups, i.e., the control (saline, 0.1 g/kg), high TC, RTC, ETC and low TC, RTC, and ETC groups, and administered drugs for 28 days. The cellular localization and expression of SS in the small intestine were assessed by immunohistochemistry after drug delivery for 7, 14, 21 or 28 days. Results: The somatostatin（SS）protein was widely distributed in the small intestines of mice. Immunoreactivity gradually decreased in the duodenum to the ileum. SS immunoreactivity was significantly lower in the high TC, RTC, ETC and low RTC, and ETC groups compared with the control group after drug delivery for 28 days. The efficacy of RTC was better than that of ETC and obviously better than that of TC. The efficacies of high dosages of TC and its processed products were better than those of low dosages of the drugs. SS cells of various shapes, including cone-, spindle-, and ellipse-shaped SS cells, were observed. A large number of SS cells were found in the intestinal gland epithelium and intestinal lamina propria in the control group, and these cells were widely distributed in epithelial cells in the intestinal mucosa and intestinal gland epithelium in the experimental groups. Conclusions: This study indicates that TC and its processed products play an important role in inhibiting the secretion of SS to different degrees. The effect of the RTC at a dosage of 4.0 g·kg–1 BW is the best.

GAMBARAN HISTOLOGI KELENJAR INTESTINAL PADA DUODENUM AYAM KAMPUNG (Gallus domesticus), MERPATI (Columba domesticus) DAN BEBEK (Anser anser domesticus)(Histological Feature of Intestinal Glands of Native Chicken (Gallus domesticus), Pigeon (Columba domesticus), and Duck (Anser anser domesticus))

The aim of this research was to observe intestinal glands histology of duodenum from native chicken, pigeon, and duck. Samples used are duodenum from 3 native chickens, 3 pigeons, and 3 ducks with undifferentiated of sex and weight. Fowl was slaughtered, duodenum were taken out then proceeded for histology method using parraffination and stained with hematoxylin-eosin. Histological observation include the density and morphology of intestinal glands. Data were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that the intestinal glands histology differ among native chicken, pigeon, and duck but the morphology of intestinal gland was similar that was simple tubular. The number of intestinal glands in native chicken and pigeon almost similar and found in high density but lower than that found in pigeon. This difference assumed to be correlated with type and concentration of feed.

Tissue distribution of B-lymphocyte subsets (IgA, IgG and IgM) in the mucosa and lymphoid tissues of broilers immunized with Gumboro vaccine

The present research was designed to study the histological and immunohistochemical changes of lymphoid organs (bursa of Fabricius and cecal tonsil) and in the ileum (representative mucosal organ) of broiler chickens after immunization with Gumboro vaccine. Two groups (n=24) of Cobb-500 broiler chickens were reared in a same environment A mild vaccine (BUR® 706) followed by a intermediate (Nobilis® Gumboro 228 E) type vaccine was administered for immunization of chickens and samples were collected at 7 days interval for up to 32 days of age. The conventional histological structure of all three organs of the present study was similar to the earlier reports. In addition, in the bursa of Fabricius, the population of lymphocytes and the size of the follicles were found to increase in vaccinated chickens than the control chickens. The Igs positive cells (IgA, IgG and IgM) were distributed principally beneath the capsule, around the follicles and in the cortex and medulla. The frequencies of IgG- and IgM- positive cells were more than the IgA-positive cells in the bursa of vaccinated group. IgM-positive cells became peak at day 25 and started to decline at day 32 in the bursa of Fabricius of vaccinated groups of chickens. In the cecal tonsils and ileum, the Igs positive cells (IgA, IgG and IgM) distributed around the intestinal gland and within the lymphatic nodules of the lamina propria, in the core of the villi, and within the epithelium in both the control and vaccinated chickens. Their frequency per 0.1 mm2 area of the lamina propria and in the epithelium was increased abruptly in the vaccinated group than the control broiler chickens. Like bursa, in the cecal tonsil and ileum of vaccinated chickens, the frequencies of IgG- and IgM-positive cells were also more than IgA-positive cells. The present study suggested that, the Igs positive cells were greatly accelerated in the vaccinated chickens than the control chickens and it may be due to immunomodulatory effect of vaccine.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjvm.v11i1.14154Bangl.

Dynamic Change of Intestinal Duplication in an Adult Patient: A Case Report and Literature Review

Intestinal duplication in an adult is an uncommon congenital abnormality because only minority of cases present in adulthood. More than 80% of cases occur before the age of two years as an acute abdomen, bowel obstruction or other complications associated with it. Duplication has two types, either cystic or tubular. Here, we report a case of an adult who was diagnosed preoperatively on CT scan as tubular intestinal duplication. CT images showed change in the morphology of the cystic mass after one week of antibiotics administration. On histopathological analysis, the resected duplicated segment had esophageal epithelium in addition to the intestinal gland. So far, we found no report describing CT findings of dynamic change of ileal duplication in the English literatures.
