“…was diagnosed in blood smears from cattle only. In Mosul, however, Anaplasma marginale has been identified in buffalo [ 26 ], camel [ 27 ], while Anaplasma ovis was detected in goats [ 5 , 14 ], in addition to that reported in cattle [ 3 , 28 ]. Nevertheless, no previous study has reported the percentage of infection among other blood parasites except that for Al-Abadi and Al-Badrani [ 2 ] in cattle at 4.4%, which is lower than that reported in the study conducted here.…”

Several local studies have examined evidence of blood parasites in different animals in Mosul; however, information about the most prevalent parasite and the seasonality of the infection remains limited. The objective of the study conducted here was to investigate the proportion and seasonality of blood parasites in animals in Mosul using the Veterinary Teaching Hospital Lab data. Laboratory records for a period of 25 months were used for data retrieval. In all included animals, Giemsa-stained blood smears were examined by an attending clinical pathologist for the presence of parasites. Seasons were assigned on a basis of examination date, and the seasonality was quantified by estimating season-to-season ratio. The results indicated that 61.77% of examined animals were tested positive for blood parasites. The most evident parasites were Trypanosoma spp., Theileria spp., Babesia spp., and then Anaplasma spp., with evidence of mixed infection. The odds of the infection did not significantly vary in different age groups. There was a marked linear pattern in the seasonality of the infection with Trypanosoma spp. and Anaplasma spp. An increase of the infection during spring and autumn with Theileria spp. and Babesia spp. was also evident. In conclusion, infection with blood parasites in different animals in Mosul is common with substantial burden, the effect of age-related infection is negligible, and the seasonality of the infection is evident.

The analysis of the presented data shows that keratoconjunctivitis is quite often registered in cattle. Therefore, new medicinal substances have been developed for its treatment, namely, a polycomponent ointment and a phyto-ointment from local plant raw materials. As a result of the conducted research, reliable data were obtained indicating the beneficial effect of the developed ointments on individual biochemical blood parameters in sick animals. Studies have established that the complex application of the developed ointments contributes to the bio-correction and bio-normalization of metabolic processes in the body of sick animals, which is expressed by a significant increase in the quantitative values of hematological parameters, total protein and its fractional composition, β-lysine, lysozyme, lactoferrin, and bactericidal activity of blood serum. In the course of treatment, the greatest therapeutic effectiveness was established in the 3rd experimental group of animals, which used a combined treatment regimen with the alternating use of multicomponent ointment the Kazakh Scientific Research Veterinary Institute LLP (KazSRVI) and phyto-ointment KerKon. After applying the combined scheme, 33.3% of animals recovered by the 10th day from the start of treatment, and the full recovery of the majority of sick animals occurred within 11-16 days (66.7%). The obtained results of the research and production experiment showed that the most acceptable method was the use of a combined treatment regimen for sick animals, where the absolute effectiveness was 100%, compared to 80% in the control group.
