Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) is one of the most frequent opportunistic pathogens. We aimed to carry out this study on antimicrobial resistance pattern and phylogenetic background of E. coli isolated from children who have diarrhea in different hospitals of the Iraqi Kurdistan region. A total of 200 fecal samples of children (52.5% male and 47.5% female) were included. Stool samples were cultured on selective media to isolate E. coli bacteria. The antibiotic susceptibility testing and molecular characterization of the isolates were carried out. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by disc diffusion test disc PCR was used to detect five antimicrobial resistance genes coding for β-lactamases ( bla TEM, and bla CTX , bla OXA , bla SHV , bla CMY) to study phylogenetic grouping of E. coli . The Escherichia coli were highly resistant to β-lactam antibiotics, and the highest resistance was seen to Cefotaxime (45.4%). According to the phylogenetic grouping of E. coli isolates, group B2 was the dominant group and bla OXAgene (57.5%) was the predominant resistance genes among E. coli isolates. This study demonstrated the clinical concern of E. coli in children. The E. coli are highly resistance to common beta-lactam antibiotics and there are high rates of the resistance genes among E. coli isolates in children. An antibiotic surveillance would be useful continuously control and prevention of infectious diarrhea in children.

The synanthropic house fly, Musca domestica is a major vector for the transmission of deadly diseases from one place to another. It plays a primary role in some diseases and community spread against human and animal origin. As the eradication and control measures are challenging through chemical or synthetic insecticides. The repeated exposure to insecticides developed resistance and undesired effects. A study to find the novel insecticides from natural plant-based origin were developed from Lavandula angustifolia , Citrus limon , Mentha piperita , Azadirachta indica and AgNPs against M. domestica at five different concentrations of each extract. The obtained results revealed good mortality from Citrus limon extract through dipping and feeding techniques with LC 50 values were 296.145 ppm (contact bioassay) and 380.187 ppm (feeding bioassay) after 24 h post-treatment. The plant-based nanoparticles developed from A. indica revealed good activity at a minimal concentration to reach its lethal effects and that LC 50 67.056 ppm (contact bioassay) 110.279 ppm (feeding bioassay. Thus, the developed nano-insecticides are considered effective insecticidal against M. domestica and could save the world from the vector-transmitted disease in the present environment.

An entomological study was conducted using two mosquito sampling technical, pyrethrum spray catch (PSC) and Human Landing Catch (HLC), inside and outside houses in two Health Zones in North Ubangi Province give the names of Health zones . This study was conducted from 31 March to 14 April 2021. This province is located in the north of the DRC, in a forested area. The objective of this work was to identify the behavior of anopheles and their entomological parameters. In total, 784 samples of Anopheles were captured, 575 by HLC (236 inside the houses and 339 outside), and 209 by (PSC). The anopheles captured in these two environments belong to the following 3 species: Anopheles gambiae s.l, (n= 769 i.e. 98%) Anopheles funestus grp (n=10 i.e. 1%), Anopheles paludis (n=5 i.e. 1%). The behavioral study reveals that Anopheles gambiae s.l is more exophagous than endophagous with a indoors peak startings a little later between 23:00 and 02:00 hours while the outdoors peak starts a little earlier at 19:00 hours. The density of Anopheles gambiae s.l. is 98% of all Anopheles mosquitoes collected. The determination of the sporozoite index by the ELISA method gave 58% of the infested Anopheles . Anopheles gambiae s.l is the major vector of malaria in this environment and is more abundant .

The gold standard for diagnosis of schistosomiasis haematobium is a microscopic examination of urine for parasite eggs. However, direct detection of eggs is difficult among people who have chronic infections.The aim of the current study was to detect the role of clinical and parasitological examination in the diagnosis of S.haematobium in comparison with PCR in chronic patients. Materials and methods: This study was conducted on 115 urine samples; 60 samples were collected from patients with cancer bladder, 35 samples from cases of urinary schistosomiasis, and 20 samples from a healthy control. Samples enrolled in the study were subjected to patient socio-demographic history, clinical data, and the collection of histopathological reports (in the case of cancer bladder patients). All urine samples were subjected to parasitological examination for the detection of S. haematobium eggs. Multiplex PCR was used for the detection of DNA fragments of S. haematobium in urine. Results: By multiplex PCR, it was revealed that 5 cases (8.3%) were positive for S. haematobium , while 55 cases (91.7%) were negative. PCR-positive cases were in the age of 44- 67 years. Diagnosis of S. haematobium infection in symptomatic (dysuria &haematuria) suspected bilharziasis patients by using the traditional parasitological examination for detection of eggs in urine revealed absolute diagnostic efficacy (100%). S. haematobium eggs were detected in the examined patients of age group from 15 to over 40 years. Conclusion: Using clinical and direct parasitological methods in association with history taking could be enough for the diagnosis of S. haematobium, especially in aged patients.

investigated the protease activity of Blastocystis isolates obtained from stool samples of symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals using gelatin SDS-PAGE and azocasein assay. The present study was carried out on 62 subjects positive for Blastocystis whether presenting with gastrointestinal symptoms or not. The symptomatic group (cases, GI) included 42 cases while the asymptomatic (control, GII) group included 20 subjects. Using gelatin SDS-PAGE analysis, the protease profiles of Blastocystis isolates showed 14 protease bands of both high and low molecular weights with significant differences between symptomatic and asymptomatic groups at 35, 60 and 140 kDa MW bands. Statistical analysis of the protease profile of Blastocystis isolates showed a significant difference (P value < 0.05) between the two groups. Using Azocasein assay, Blastocystis isolates from symptomatic cases show quantitatively higher protease activity than asymptomatic cases but without significant difference between both groups.

The hygiene hypothesis has been implicated in the dramatic increase in autoimmune and allergic diseases noticed in recent decades, especially in developed countries. This growth was associated with lesser exposure to diverse immunoregulatory infectious agents. This hypothesis has been proved by many potent epidemiological and experimental studies. The results of these studies along with the analysis of the western world’s microbiome helped us to have a greater idea about microorganisms shared in the hygiene hypothesis, as well as their main mechanisms that have an effect on the immune system. Protozoal infections have been proved to have remarkable immunomodulatory changes in different autoimmune diseases. Helminths and their derivatives were proved to have a protective role. Helminths’ broad immunomodulatory effects have been tested in clinical trials of autoimmune diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and type-1 diabetes. In this review, we discussed particular parasitic infections and their immunomodulatory effects on some autoimmune diseases.
