Seventy five white cheese, semi-white cheese and cream (25 samples of each )were randomly collected from different area in basrah city and were investigated for microbiological quality.In these samples, the numbers of microorganisms were found as follows:14.13x104 cfu/g ,16.46x103 cfu/g and 12.36x103 cfu/g for total mesophilic bacteria , 9.87 X102 cfu/g total Psychrotrophic bacteria of cream , 12.92 X103 cfu/g, 6.97X102 cfu/g and 6.13 X102 cfu/g staphylococcus aureus, 98.72 X103 cfu/g,10.55 X102 cfu/g and 6.54 X102 cfu/g coliform count , 21.77 X102 cfu/g , 6.47 X102 cfu/g and 6.40 X102 cfu/g Escherichia coli .Total Psychrotrophic bacteria were not detected in white cheese and semi-white cheese . Significant (p<0.05) variations were found between raw white cheese, semi-white cheese and cream whereas no Significant variations were found between semi-white cheese and cream for all microbial group. The microbiological findings showed the presence of high counts of microorganisms investigated and the poor hygienic quality

This study was performed to investigate the anti-nociceptive effect of aqueous extract of Zingiber officinale rhizomes by three animal models of pain (hot plate test , tail flick and formalin test. The results showed that the oral administration of aqueous extract of ginger caused (81%) increase in hot plate time,(100%)increase in tail flick time and (41%)decrease in number of licking and biting with respect to pre-administration number. While the rats that given apple vinegar only caused (79%)increase in hot plate time, (83%)increase in tail flick time and (47%)decrease in number of licking and biting with respect to pre-administration levels. When the ginger was mixed with vinegar, it showed only (85%)increase in hot plate test,(77%)increase in tail flick test and(63%)in formalin test.

The effect of aspirin( non steroidal anti-inflammtory drug a cyclooxygenase inhibitor) as antifungal has been studied against some opportunistic fungi : Aspergillus flavus , A. niger , A. terreus ,Cryptococcus neoformans, Penicillium sp . and Trichoderma sp. Aspirin was showed a potent activity against all tested fungi in vitro . Aspirin gives the greatest effects in a concentration of 1000 µg , 2000 µg and 3000 µg causing 100% inhibition .

The offal’s of (380) slaughtered camels were examined for Hydatidsis in Najaf abattoir between January and December (2002). The total incidence of infection was (17.9%) and it was much higher in older camels (19.23%) while it was (9.16%) in younger ones. The distribution of cysts in lungs, livers, and spleens was (16.5%), (1.57%), and (0.53%) respectively. The fertility rate was (50.2%) which reflect their significance in the epidemiology of the parasite and reveal that those dromedaries Hydatidosis could play a significant role in the epidemiology of infection

The microbiological quality and skin appearance of poultry carcasses were determined after acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide spray. Acetic acid at 1% concentrations showed a significant effect(P0.05) effect the microbial load when compared with asample without treatment,26.33x103, 2.61x103,3.70x102,2.63x102and 27.47x103 ,2.71x103,4.41x102,2.74x102 cfu/cm2 respectively. The skin of carcasses treated with H2O2 ,was bleached and bloated.

The aim of this study to determinate the toxic effect for different concentrations of organphosphorous pesticide called Chlorpyrphous, some histological and physiological features of the internal organs of ( Mus musculus ) mice by oral administration. The experimental mice were oral administration of (0.1mg.kg and 0.2 mg /kg. ) twice weekly during 3 weeks. After 21 day of experiment the (GOT, GPT )enzymes and urea and total protein were estimated . The following organ were taken for histological studies: liver, kidney, lung, stomach, intestine, and testes. The histological studies were carried out on the liver and kidney. The results of this study showed that the oral administration of chloropyrphose in some histological changes in kidney and liver. and elevation in the level of GOT of GPT enzyme also urea and protein.

The reaction of 3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole with mercury (II)acetate in absolute methanol gave (3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl) mercury(II) chloride (DMPMC), which characterized by microanalysis, 1H, and 13C-NMR and IR. It was found that 0.22M of (DMPMC) dissolved in ethanol/water added to Muller-Hinton Agar medium and Sabourauds-Dextrose agar medium (SDA) respectively, inhibited the growth of some gram negative bacteria [Escherichia-coli, Klebsiella-aerogenes and Pseudomonas-aeruginosa], also gram positive bacteria [Staphylococcus-aureus, Streptococcus-pyogenes] and Candida-albicans as well as some fungi [Aspergillus-flavus, Aspergillus-fumigatus and Aspergillus-niger]. Higher concentrations of (DMPMC) solution in to the media inhibited growth of bacteria yeast and fungi under studies more strongly. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC)and the cytotoxicity of (DMPMC) were studied against human being blood , it was found that it has no haemolysis at different concentrations in vitro

Four stocks of Ehrlichiar uminantium (Welgevonden, Ball3, Nonile and Blaauwkrans), the causative agent of heartwater in domestic ruminants, were isolated into lxodes capularis (lDE8) tick cells using the leukocyte fraction of the blood of infected sheep. Organisms of two of the E. ruminantrum stocks (Welgevonden and Blaauwkrans) propagated in IDEB cells were also successfully used to infect bovine endothelial cells. All stocks were successfully propagated in IDEB cells using Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium nutrient mixture Ham F-12c ontaining 10% foetal bovine serum (FBS). The technique should be included in any attempt to isolate uncharacterized E. ruminantium stocks.
