Abstract

The study was performed to detect cryptosporidiosis in animals in Duhok city /Kurdistan region of Iraq by examining 348 fecal samples of cattle and 280 of sheep using Modified Ziehl Neelsen Method (MZNM) to detect the oocysts of Cryptosporidium. A total of 233 fecal samples (129 cattle, 104 sheep) were randomly chosen to detect coproantigen of Cryptosporidium by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). By MZNM, the total rate of cryptosporidiosis was 26.15% , 11.07% in cattle and sheep respectively. The infection rates were 28.99%, 24.29% in diarrheic and non-diarrheic groups of cattle respectively. While in sheep; the infection rates were 23.26% and 5.67% in diarrheic and non-diarrheic groups, respectively. Out of 129 fecal samples of cattle, 31(24.03%), and 37 (28.68%) were positive by MZNM, and ELISA respectively. A total of 104 fecal samples of sheep, 23(22.12%), and 24(23.08%) were positive by MZNM, and ELISA, respectively. The highest infection rate by MZNM, and ELISA was among the age group 1-2 months in diarrheic cattle and sheep, while in non-diarrheic cattle and sheep, it was among 3-6 months age group. This study indicated that infection was associated with diarrhea in all ages and it decreased with increasing of age.

杜胡克市/库尔德斯坦地区/伊拉克牛羊隐孢子虫病

采用改良Ziehl - Neelsen法(MZNM)检测隐孢子虫卵囊，对伊拉克杜胡克市/库尔德斯坦地区348头牛和280头羊的粪便样本进行了隐孢子虫病检测。采用酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)检测猪隐孢子虫粪原抗原(coproantigen)。经MZNM检测，牛、羊隐孢子虫病总感染率分别为26.15%、11.07%。腹泻组和非腹泻组的感染率分别为28.99%、24.29%。在羊身上;腹泻组和非腹泻组感染率分别为23.26%和5.67%。129份牛粪便样品中，MZNM检测阳性31份(24.03%)，ELISA检测阳性37份(28.68%)。绵羊粪便样品104份，MZNM检测阳性23份(22.12%)，ELISA检测阳性24份(23.08%)。MZNM和ELISA的感染率以腹泻牛羊1 ~ 2月龄组最高，非腹泻牛羊3 ~ 6月龄组感染率最高。本研究表明，感染与腹泻相关，随年龄的增加而减少。
