External and internal parasites are the major cause of many problems in dairy cattle. This study estimated the association of external parasites infestation and blood parasites infection with milk production and it`s components. Identification and prevalence of ticks, Babesia and Theileria species were carried out on 300 local moderate lactating Friesian cattle .The effect on chemical components of milk and other milk parameters including amount and immune suppression were studied. 75% of dairy cattle were infested with ticks while 9% were infected with Babesia spp. and 10% were infected with Theileria spp . , levels of both calcium and zinc in serum of dairy cattle infested with ticks , infected with Babesia spp. and infected with Theileria spp. were markedly decreased (9.3±0.5, 8.7±0.6 & 9.2±0.7 mg/dl ) respectively for calcium and (0.37±0.001, 0.23±0.001 &0.31±.001 µg/dl ) respectively for zinc . Ig E levels were increased in dairy cattle infested with ticks (1.7±0.03 µ/ml), infected with Babesia spp. (1.1±0.02 µ/ml) and infected with Theileria spp. (1.2±0.02 µ/ml) than clinically healthy ones (0.95±0.02 µ/ml). Significantly decreased Calcium levels in milk of dairy cattle infested with ticks , infected with Babesia spp. and infected with Theileria spp. (144.5±13.8, 129±12.3 & 132±11.4mg/dl) respectively than that of clinically healthy ones (159.4±12.7mg/dl). Also zinc levels in milk recorded decreasing values in dairy cattle infested with Ticks, infected with Babesia spp. and infected with Theileria spp . (8.5±0.07, 6.9±0.8 & 7.2±0.6 µ mol/dl) respectively than that of clinically healthy ones(12.7±0.09 µ mol/dl).

In 2019, a 3-years old zoo-raised female vervet monkey ( Chlorocebus aethiopicus ) was dead after showing progressive abdominal enlargement, apathy, and anorexia. At autopsy, large numbers of small cysts with different sizes in the abdominal cavity and retroperitoneum. Because of the morphology and the tumor-like proliferation of the causative agent, Echinococcus multilocularis was most probably involved in this case. Although it is evident that the monkey was exposed to Echinococcus eggs, it is not possible to know the route and source of infection. Examination of the zoo canids for taeniid eggs revealed a negative result. Properly, the animal was exposed to infection via the food (fruits and vegetables) brought from farms in remote areas in the desert. It is assumed that infected wild canids, which are common in Kuwait’ desert, contaminate the environment in these areas. To the best of our knowledge, this report describes echinococcosis for the first time in the vervet monkey species in Kuwait.

: The current study aimed to evaluate the in vitro scolicidal action of pumpkin seed oil (PSO) alone or combined with nitazoxanide (NTZ). Also, the clinical efficacy and protective effect of PSO alone or combined with NTZ against complications of secondary hydatidosis were detected in vivo. Collected protoscolices (PSCs) from camels were exposed to concentrations of 10 µg/ml and 750 mg/ml from NTZ and PSO, respectively or their combination for 5-,15-, 30- and 60-min in vitro. Viability reduction and ultrastructure changes were evaluated by light and scanning electron microscopy. Fifty-six rats were divided into eight equal groups: Groups1,2, negative and vehicle; group 3, received 500 PSCs of hydatid cyst intraperitoneally; group 4, received NTZ at a dose of 50 mg/kg BW; group 5, received PSO at a dose of 250 mg/kg BW; groups 68, animals infected as group 3 and treated as groups 4, 5 and their combination, respectively. Treatments continued orally for 14 days then samples collected for anti-echinococcus immunoglobulin G and cytokines estimation, hemato-biochemical study and histopathological examination. The combination treatment in vitro provoked greater scolicidal action and ultrastructural alterations in PSCs compared to the monotherapy. The combined treatment group produced effective scolicidal action in vivo, inhibited inflammatory condition, induced immunomodulatory effect and improved the alterations in hemato-biochemical parameters and histopathological picture in examined tissues. In conclusion, this treatment strategy may provide a new efficient and safe way for echinococcosis treatment in the future and may recommend the use it before, during and after surgical removal

Coccidiosis is one of the most economical diseases of sheep and goat production industry in the world. But, the information about this disease is scanty in Kuwait. This study gave data about Eimeria species and their prevalence on small ruminant farms. Fecal samples from 79 sheep and 65 goats were collected and examined by floatation method for Eimeria infection. The positive samples were put in Potassium dichromate (2.5%) for oocysts sporulation, identified by the morphological characteristics. The results revealed that goats had significantly (p=0.00) infection rate (78%) with Eimeria spp. than sheep (68%). Also, the Eimeria prevalence in young animals < 12 months was significantly higher than that in older one (59.2%). All examined animals had multispecies infection. The most prevailing in sheep were E. ovinoidalis (45.6%), E. faurei (39.2%) and E. bakuensis (31.6%), whereas E. arloingi , (61.7%), E. caprovina (58.5%), E. ninakohlyakimovae (53.8%) and E. christenseni (46.2%) were the species detected in goats. No clinical signs were observed in infected animals. In Kuwait, Coccidiosis is probably subclinical, and its economic impact is overlooked.

: Puberulic acid, a tropolone compound, has antibacterial and antimalarial activities. In this study, we investigated the in vitro inhibitory effects of puberulic acid on three Babesia species and Theileria equi . Puberulic acid inhibited the growth of Babesia bovis , Babesia bigemina , Babesia caballi , and Theileria equi with IC 50 values of 1.79 ± 0.3, 1.58 ± 0.2, 2.6 ± 0.3, and 3.83 ± 0.4 µM, respectively, starting from an initial parasitemia of 1%. At 5 M, puberulic acid completely inhibited growth in B. caballi , 10 µM in B. bovis , and 25 µM in B. bigemina and T. equi cultures. Parasite growth was inhibited in the viability test at concentrations of 5 µM for B. bigemina and B. caballi , 10 µM for B. bovis , and 100 µM for T. equi . Puberulic acid had higher IC 50 values than diminazene aceturate. At the concentrations used, the DMSO solvent did not influence the growth of the parasites. According to the in vitro results, puberulic acid may be a promising candidate for developing a new antibabesial drug. More research, including extensive in vivo assessment, is urgently needed.

: Metacercaria of Tylodelphys sp. a member of the Diplostomidae, was isolated naturally from the gas bladder of Lates niloticus (Nile Perch), found in Lake Nasser (southern Egypt) . The morphology, ultrastructure, and genomic characterization were investigated and described. The main characteristics were shown by the light microscope and these were confirmed by the electron microscope. The examined fish were found to be infected with Tylodelphys sp., with prevalence of 86%, with the highest prevalence shown to be in summer (26%) and the lowest in winter (16%). Morphologically, by light and scanning electron microscopy, the parasite was found to be linguiform, where the fore body comprised most of the worm and the hind body was reduced to a small, conical, pointed end. The tegument was unarmed and smooth. A small oral and a large ventral sucker were detected. The body contained two types of papillae; a fine anterior and a coarse posterior one. The genetic analysis of Tylodephys sp. showed it was similar to those of the species of fish origin found in GenBank, and a description of a new Egyptian genotype (accession number MH367017) was provided. The morphotype detected was found to have about 99% genetic similarity in the 12S rRNA region with other helminthes. The obtained results support an evolutionary addition of the Egyptian species of Tylodelphys sp. aiding in its taxonomy and diagnosis.
: Tylodelphys sp.的Metacercaria是双孔虫科的一员，从Nasser湖(埃及南部)的Lates niloticus(尼罗河鲈鱼)的气囊中自然分离出来。对其形态、超微结构和基因组特征进行了研究和描述。光镜下显示了其主要特征，电镜下证实了这些特征。经检查的鱼被发现感染了叶藻，患病率为86%，其中夏季患病率最高(26%)，冬季最低(16%)。在形态学上，通过光学和扫描电子显微镜，发现寄生虫是舌形的，其中前体构成了蠕虫的大部分，后体减少到一个小的，圆锥形的尖端。皮是没有武装的，光滑的。发现了一个小的口腔吸盘和一个大的腹部吸盘。身体有两种类型的乳头;前面有一个细的，后面有一个粗的。遗传分析表明，Tylodephys sp.与GenBank中发现的鱼源种相似，并描述了一个新的埃及基因型(accession number MH367017)。检测到的形态型在12S rRNA区域与其他蠕虫的遗传相似性约为99%。所得结果支持埃及种Tylodelphys sp.的进化添加，有助于其分类和诊断。

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of Rhipicicephalus sanguineus and Babesia species on the fertility of German shepherd dogs, 80 dogs (41 male and 39 female) were examined in veterinary clinics of Mansoura city and Sinbillawain, Dakahlia Governorate aged from 2-3 years during summer and autumn seasons 2021.Twenty-one dogs (26.5%) were infested with Rhipicephalus sanguineus (brown dog ticks) with different degree of infestation and higher prevalence in male dogs (29.2%) than female(23%). While 12 dogs (15%) showed signs of fever, anorexia, pale mucous membrane, weakness and increase in heart rate, examining of thin blood films indicated infection with Babesia spp . with percentage (17%) and (12.8%) in male and female dogs respectively. Biochemical laboratory examinations were done for estimation of testosterone hormone in male and progesterone hormone in female dogs in the estrus phase to detect the effect of external and blood parasites on their fertility. Laboratory findings of testosterone levels in male infested with Rhipicephalus sanguineus ranged from (2.01- 3.2 ng/ml), while others infected with ticks and Babesia spp . showed significant decrease in the testosterone levels in male (0.75 – 1.35 ng/ml). Testosterone levels in apparently healthy male dogs that free from ticks and Babasia spp . ranged from (3.04-4.1 ng/ml). Progesterone levels in bitches infested with Rhipicephalus sanguineus ranged from (2.5-3.4 ng/ml) and (0.2 -0.79 ng/ml) for bitches infested with ticks and Babesia spp., while progesterone levels in bitches free from ticks and Babesia spp . were (2.9-3.4 ng/ml). These results indicate that infestation with ticks ( Rhipicephalus sanguineus ) only had little effect on the fertility of German Shepherd dogs but when more persistence of ticks with presence of babesiosis can affect their fertility.

While 12 dogs (15%) showed signs of fever, anorexia, pale mucous membrane, weakness and increase in heart rate, examining of thin blood films indicated infection with Babesia spp . with percentage (17%) and (12.8%) in male and female dogs respectively. Biochemical laboratory examinations were done for estimation of testosterone hormone in male and progesterone hormone in female dogs in the estrus phase to detect the effect of external and blood parasites on their fertility. Laboratory findings of testosterone levels in male infested with Rhipicephalus sanguineus ranged from (2.01- 3.2 ng/ml), while others infected with ticks and Babesia spp . showed significant decrease in the testosterone levels in male (0.75 – 1.35 ng/ml). Testosterone levels in apparently healthy male dogs that free from ticks and Babasia spp . ranged from (3.04-4.1 ng/ml). Progesterone levels in bitches infested with Rhipicephalus sanguineus ranged from (2.5-3.4 ng/ml) and (0.2 -0.79 ng/ml) for bitches infested with ticks and Babesia spp., while progesterone levels in bitches free from ticks and Babesia spp . were (2.9-3.4 ng/ml).
