ABSTRACT: Diseased Millet seedlings in the cultivated farmlands of Aliero were studied to identify the causative microorganisms. Samples were purposely collected after identifying them by visible symptoms. Collection was in three locations; Kali (KAL), Government science secondary school (GSSS) and Labana (LBN). The samples were taken to the Microbiology laboratory of Kebbi State University of Science and Technology Aliero in sterile polythene bags. Nutrient and potato dextrose agars were used to culture bacteria and fungi respectively. The results revealed that GSSS had the highest bacterial load of 6.6x105cfu/g while Labana had the lowest bacterial load of 2.1x107cfu/g, but same......

ABSTRACT: This study was designed to evaluate pituitary function and its gonadotropic activity by inference via characterization of semen (milt) parameters of African catfish following extension in different milt extenders including Soya milk, Coconut water and Coconut milk based extenders to justify pituitary extraction as well as compare longevity of the germ cells in those media and see possibility of replacing egg yolk based extenders with those media for Catfish milt under chilled condition. Pooled milt from 5 male brood stocks of catfish aged 16-18 months old and weighing 1.25-1.60kg and measuring 52.4-54.0cm in length were used for this experiment. Volume of semen was observed and recorded. The color was graded from creamy to watery. A drop of fresh semen was made on a pre-warm glass slide and covered with a warm cover slip. The sample was viewed under light microscope......

ABSTRACT: Among the blood parasites in mammals are Eperythrozoon, Haemobartonella and Trypanosoma species. Which are extracellular of RBCs. Their effects on the susceptible hosts vary from mild effect to death. Haemobartonella and Eperythrozoon species are currently classified as Rikettsiae (order: Rickettsiales) because of their small size and staining properties, their uncultivated status, their transmission by arthropod vecrots and their haemotrophic character. Haemobartonella and Eperythrozoon differ from Anaplasma in that they are wall less attach to the surface of red cells and do not invade the erthtocytes. Haemobartonella and Eperythrozoon species in different animals have been shown to be transmitted by various blood – feeding arthropods, including tick, lice, fleas, flies and mosquitoes.....

ABSTRACT: Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a highly contagious viral disease of sheep and goats with high morbidity and mortality rate. The disease is of considerable economic importance in all countries, where small ruminant products are more important. This review will highlight the importance of the disease in Iraq and its possible epidemiological criteria with suggested control measures advised, the causative virus PPRV has been registered in most of Iraq, However, The diagnosis concentrated on the clinical manifestations encountered by diseased animals, post mortem lesions.....
