This study aimed to identify the colors in which the shell of the snails is colored and the reasons for this multicolor. After choosing some areas of Baghdad, it was found that the species Cochlicella barbara appears in more than one color; we studied it for over two years, and it was found that this species has two sets of colors: a –colored group that appears in winter and the darker colors that appears in summer. It was found from the study of the environmental conditions that the temperature difference had the most significant effect on the appearance of the colors of this species. Keywords: Gastropoda, Cochlicella barbara, color pattern, shell polymorphism.

The present study confirmed the identity of two Iraqi mushrooms by using the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence; the genomic DNA of two isolates was amplified using ITS1 and ITS4 primers, and the data analyzed through Basic Local Alignment Tool( BLAST) search was achieved using the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database. The result shows that the nucleotide sequence of two mushrooms blasted against the sequence from the Gene Bank database that Pleurotus ostreatus and Pleurotus eryngii matched 99% and 100%, respectively. The second stage of the current study was the comparison of different agro-waste, including wheat straw(WS), corncob(CC) and sawdust(SD) supplemented with 25% wheat bran(W) and 2% calcium carbonate (CaCo3) on mycelium growth, yield and biological efficiency (BE) of local oyster mushroom which comparison with Chinese strain pleurotus ostreatus121 and pleurotus eryngii 080. The highest growth average of local P. ostretus on the SD substrate was 1.50 cm, and P.eryngii was recorded at 1.18 cm. The substrate CC was the most suitable for the yield of mushroom local P. ostreatus and P. ostreatus121(485.40 and 418.50 g/bag, respectively), while local P. eryngii recorded 470.40 in the same substrate. It was also found that the WS substrate recorded the highest BE for each local isolate and Chinese strain. Keywords: Iraqi strains, Pleurotus spp., agricultural wastes, wild agricultural mushrooms

This study was conducted to identify the genetic polymorphisms of one wild grass sample species and assess the phylogenetic distribution these isolates occupy based on their internal transcribed (ITS) ribosomal sequences. This study amplified one genetic locus covering a portion of the ITS rRNA sequences. A direct sequencing strategy was performed for the observed PCR amplicons in the amplified genetic locus. Subsequently, a comprehensive phylogenetic tree was constructed in the observed variants for these sequences to reveal the accurate phylogenetic distances alongside other relative sequences. Our results indicated the identity of the investigated wild grass samples (assigned S1 and S2). Sequencing reactions indicated that our investigated samples belonged to Echinochloa crusgalli var. crus-galli (panicum grass), a common wild grass dominated in tropical Asia. Two ribosomal variations were identified in the investigated wild grass samples, 61C>T, observed in the S2 sample and 408C>A, observed in both the S1 and S2 samples. According to the identified results, the investigated samples were positioned within one distinct phylogenetic clade of these identified wild grass sequences in the currently generated comprehensive tree. These positionings were observed within the main clade of Echinochloa crus-galli. Based on the identified ribosomal sequences, it was found that the currently investigated samples may exhibit variable extents of diversities originating from several Asian and South American ancestors. Also, the currently constructed tree revealed that the investigated wild grass sequences belonged to one distinct clade of Echinochloa crus-galli, having many sequences of close phylogenetic connections. This clade occupied far away phylogenetic positions from the other comparable grasses within the same tree. Keywords: rRNA amplicons, Echinochloa crus-galli, Rice
本研究基于一种野生禾草的内部转录(ITS)核糖体序列,对其遗传多态性进行了鉴定,并评估了其系统发育分布。这项研究扩增了一个基因座,覆盖了ITS rRNA序列的一部分。对扩增基因座中观察到的PCR扩增子进行直接测序。随后,在观察到的这些序列的变异中构建了一个全面的系统发育树,以揭示与其他相对序列的准确系统发育距离。我们的结果表明,调查的野草样本(编号为S1和S2)是相同的。测序结果表明,样品属亚洲热带常见的一种野生草Echinochloa crusgalli var. cross -galli (panicum grass)。在所研究的野草样本中鉴定出两种核糖体变异,在S2样本中观察到61C>T,在S1和S2样本中观察到408C>A。根据鉴定结果,所调查的样本在目前生成的综合树中被定位在这些鉴定的野草序列的一个不同的系统发育分支中。这些定位是在刺藻的主分支中观察到的。根据鉴定的核糖体序列,发现目前研究的样本可能表现出来自几个亚洲和南美祖先的不同程度的多样性。此外,目前构建的树显示,所研究的野草序列属于一个不同的分支,有许多序列具有密切的系统发育联系。这一分支在系统发育上的位置远高于同一种树内的其他同类禾本科。关键词:rRNA扩增子,紫晶石,水稻

The study was conducted in Al-Muthanna Province-Iraq from January to June 2022, aimed at diagnosing and treating cases of omphalitis in newborn calves. The study included 15 calves infected with umbilical inflammation for 3-30 days after parturition. The animals were divided into three groups according to the severity of the infection and the clinical signs. The study showed that omphalitis in calves occurs in the first days after parturition due to infection of the navel with microorganisms that lead to inflammation and the emergence of clinical signs that include swelling and abscess collection, in addition to high temperature of the animal and lack of appetite. Some cases necessitated surgical intervention to open the swelling and drain the abscess by placing bacteria-killing solutions inside the wound to ensure that the place is sterilized and that the abscess does not collect again. The cases were also treated with antibiotics, antipyretics, and vitamins with repeated treatment for several days until the animal fully recovered. Keywords:- surgical treatment, omphalitis, calves.

This study was conducted to investigate parasitic infection's effect on the thyroid gland's functions by hypo- or hyperthyroidism and inflammation by measuring some physiological and immunological indicators. 130 blood and stool samples were collected from both genders, including 80 samples from people with thyroid disorders and 50 samples from healthy people. Anti-TG, anti-TPO and IgE were estimated by using the Cobas e411 device. The general stool examination was carried out to confirm the presence of a parasitic infection and determine the type of parasites. The type of parasites found the most affected were Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia, Blastocystis hominis, and the last parasite, Cryptosporidium. Anti-TG, anti-TPO, and IgE immunoassays significantly increased hypo and hyperthyroidism cases compared to the control. The increase was higher in parasitic-infected patients than in non-infected patients compared to the control. Results of the infected were as follows: (94.41, 27.96, 361.44) IU/ml and (54.13, 18.48, 308.18) IU/ml, for non-infected (55.46, 18.48, 149.67) IU/ml and (89.56, 20.80, 90.67) IU/ml. Compared to the control (22.3, 7.05, 62.93) IU/ml, respectively. Conclusion: This study showed that infection with a parasite affected the performance of the thyroid gland.

The current study included studying the possibility of fungi in removing two types of dyes used in textile factories (red and yellow). Three concentrations of dyes (500, 100 and 300) ppm were treated with fungi and measured. Removal efficiency was measured after 72 hours, and the fungus was more efficient in removing the red dye. The removal efficiency was (99.77, 96.02 and 92.19) % for the red dye and (94.11, 93.65, and 88.9) % for the yellow dye. Results indicated that the degradation rate of the low concentrations was higher than that of high concentrations of both dyes. The results recorded decreased pH values for both dyes and all concentrations. It decreased from (7.33, 7.27 and 7.27) to (4.83, 4.83 and 4.87) after 72 hours of red dye treatment and from (7.23, 7.23 and 7.27) to (4.83, 4.83 and 4.8) for the yellow dye. The electrical conductivity also decreased for dyes and all concentrations, from (1509, 1466 and 1501.33) microsiemens/cm to (968, 975 and 972.33) microsiemens/cm for the red dye. At the same time, it decreased from (1472.67, 1481 and 1487) microsiemens/cm to (988.33, 997 and 999.33) Microsiemens/cm for yellow dye. Total dissolved solids values also decreased for both dyes, and all concentrations decreased from (1011, 982 and 1005)mg/l to ( 648, 653 and 651) mg/l from the red dye. At the same time, the yellow dye decreased from (986, 992 and 996) mg/l to (662, 667 and 669) mg/l. Keywords: Textile Dyes, Aspergillus niger, pollution

This study investigated parasitic infection's effect on the thyroid gland's functions by hypo- or hyperthyroidism and inflammation by measuring some physiological and immunological indicators. 130 blood and stool samples were collected from both genders, including 80 samples from people with thyroid disorders and 50 samples from healthy people. Hormone levels and Lipid profile were estimated by using the Cobas e411 device. The general stool examination was conducted to confirm the presence of a parasitic infection and determine the type of parasites. As for the type of parasites found, the most affected were Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia, Blastocystis hominis, and the last parasite, Cryptosporidium. Hormonal tests, and depending on the level of hormones, it was found that 44 out of 80 patients showed a decrease in hormone levels, which were counted as hypothyroidism. In contrast, 36 showed an increase and were counted as hyperthyroidism. The results of cholesterol level, triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein for hypothyroidism showed an increase in patients without parasites, higher than those parasitic infected compared to the control. Conclusion: This study showed that infection with a parasite affected the performance of the thyroid gland. Keywords: Parasites; Thyroid Disorders; Thyroid Hormones; Lipid Profile.

This study was conducted in the Al Majd area in Al Muthanna Governorate (Away from the city center, about 5 km to the north) to study the effect of perlite and nitrogen levels on potassium availability and absorption in soil, growth and yield of the wheat plant, during the agricultural season 2022-2021—a factorial field experiment, according to a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replicates. The experiment included two factors. The first factor is the addition of perlite with three levels (0, 1.5 and 3)% symbolized by B0, B1 and B2, respectively, while the second factor is nitrogen at five levels (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200) kg N ha-1 has the symbol N0, N1, N2, N3 and N4 respectively. The land was divided into plots, including 45 experimental units in three blocks, the area of the experimental unit (2 × 2) m2. The experimental unit included 8 lines with a length of 2 m. The distance between one line and another was 20 cm, leaving a distance of 75 cm between one replicate and another. The seeds of wheat (Bohooth 22 cultivar) were sown on 11/11/2021. The results indicated the significant effect of adding perlite at a level of 3% by volume to the soil in increasing the ready potassium in the soil when adding the first and second batches of nitrogen and harvesting, the addition of perlite at a level of 3% by volume of the soil affected the growth characteristics of the plant, including the biological yield, grain yield, potassium concentration in the plant, and the absorbed amount of potassium in the plant, nitrogen fertilizer to the soil at a level of (150 and 200) kg N ha-1 had a significant effect on the increase of ready potassium in the soil in the first and second batch of adding fertilizer. Keywords: Perlite, nitrogen, potassium availability and absorption, soil, growth, yield, wheat plant.
