Objective: 1-Isolation and diagnosis of mites species in sheep. 2-To study the pathological changes in the skin. 3-To know the epidemiological distribution of Scabies in human. Materials and Methods: Scrabing was collected from infected area of skin of sheep and human. These specimens were treated with 10% KOH to remove scales and hairs, and then fixed on slides for diagnosis. Biopsies were taken from infected skin for pathological study. Results: Three species of mites were diagnosed on sheep, Sarcoptes scabiei, Psoroptes ovis and Chorioptes sarcoptes, with percents of infection 34.95%, 58.27%, 4.71% respectively. Gross pathological changes observed were, toughness, dryness, fissuring of the skin with white scales, while microscopical pathological changes revealed, hyperkeratosis, acanthosis, infiltration of chronic inflammatory cells (eosinophils, macrophages and lymphocytes) and oedema in the dermis. Age group of 11-30 years of age were highly affected (28.2%). Housewives were the highest percent among other occupation (29.1%). Conclusions: Scabies is a big public health problem and should be looked after among sheep as well as human beings.
Cutaneous leishmaniasis is an endemic diease in the middle and south of Iraq. distribution of infection was studied in two governorates (diwanya and hilla), total number of patients attended to the dermatology center in three months (December 2016, January, February 2017) in diwanyia was 1940, 132 were cutaneous leihmaniasis (10.7%) while in hilla 1757 patients were attended to the dermatology center at the asme months, cutaneous leihmaniasis cases were 42 (2.4%). total number of cutaneous leishmaniasis was 208, 132 for diwanya 76% while for hilla was 42, 24%.infected males were higer than females in both cities 74.3%,25.7% respectibely. Age variations reveal all infected cases were in all ages but high percent were in age of ten years old and below 35.6%. no cases were recorded during summer months and the peak of this sisease was in January 28.5%, February 30.9%. pathological lesions were classified grossly as follows, papule (redness and swelling ) pustule (redness with crusts sometimes with pus)ulcer (it was no crusts with shallow ulceration irregular margin)scar formation. Hematological study revealed increase in number of erythrocytes and variation in size (poikilocytosis). Treatment were mostly, systemic injection with topical treatment, several types of ointment.
Speciemens of hydatid cysts were collected from infected liver and lung of cattle , multilocullar cysts , different sizes , milky in coulor , some of them superficial while others embedded in the parenchyma of the organs . Bacteria were isolated from liver and lung infected with hydatid cysts in cattle slaughterd in Diwania slaughter house. S.aureus and C.Pyogenes were isolated from the liver , while Streptococcus spp and C. pyogenes were isolated from lung hydatid cysts . Bacterial colonies were identified by culturing on enriched and selective media with various biochemical tests . All bacterial species were sensitive to Ciprofloxacin and Genta- mycin While it is resistant to Carbencillin and Ampicillin. Histopathological study revealed the hydatid cysts in liver and the lung were surrounded by fibrous tissue . Coagulative necrosis were noticed in liver tissue while casouse necrosis was in lung tissue .
There are some parasitic cysts occur in animals and human , one of the most important is the hydatid cysts . More than thirty years hydatidosis was followed in Mosul , Baghdad , Al- Qa-disyia , Babylon and Najaf . Hydatid Cysts were collected from animals of slaughter houses of these provinces , while Human cases were followed in surgical rooms of main hospitals . Sheep hydatidosis was the highest percent ( 45% )more than other animals , while the lowest was in buffalo 5% .Fertile hydatid cysts and sterile cysts were identified by eosin stain , so the highest percent of fertile cysts were in sheep 74% while the lowest was in cattle 22% , while sterile cysts were highest in cattle .Viability of theprotoscolices were examined by eosin stain .Beside hydatid cysts two other cysts were recorded depend on morphologic and pathologic Characterizations , therefore hydatid cyst of Echinococcusgranulosus was the highest percent , but there are other cysts were diagnosed as Cysticercustenuicollis( Larval stage of Taeniahydatigena ) . Coenuruscerebralis(Larval stage of Multicepsmulticeps ).
