Artemisia absinthium, renowned for its medicinal properties, boasts a wealth of biologically active compounds, rendering it indispensable for extracting chemicals from its aerial parts using Soxhlet extraction. Through diverse chromatography methods, fractions Ia and IIb were isolated, revealing numerous phenolics. XTT tests on cell cultures demonstrated that MCF-7 cancer cells treated with fatty acids exhibited significantly lower survival rates than the control group, with IC50 values of 43.

- Saprolegniasis is a fungal disease affecting freshwater fish, particularly common carp, causing a cotton-like appearance on their gills and bodies.
- The study conducted in Mosul, Iraq, involved collecting samples from infected fish and analyzing them using microbiological, molecular, and histopathological methods.
- Results showed characteristic cottony colonies and significant damage in the gills, with findings indicating that the infection can have serious economic consequences for fish populations due to its lethal nature.
Background And Aim: infection is a worldwide prevalent condition that causes significant economic losses in affected flocks. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and clinical signs associated with ovine anaplasmosis as well as the hematological and biochemical changes associated with the disease in natural infection in North Iraq.
Materials And Methods: A total of 420 sheep were appropriately examined, and the clinical signs were documented accordingly.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence of hemoparasites in cattle and sheep in Mosul, Iraq, examining how climatic factors impact their occurrence.
- Blood samples were analyzed over a decade, revealing that certain hemoparasites were more prevalent in either cattle or sheep, without a clear yearly pattern in their infection rates.
- The findings suggest that while temperature may promote hemoparasite infections, rainfall and humidity seem to have a negative effect, contributing valuable insight into how climate affects animal health in the region.
