The Interaction between the Bacterial Content and the Parasitic Worms Present in Shared Environment

Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the possibility of interaction between the bacterial content and parasitic worms present in a shared environment. which included the collection of 25 samples from the Fasciola parasite of two different hosts cattle and sheep of modern massacre of Kirkuk. The results of the study showed isolate and diagnose 20 bacterial isolates, 80% of the cases were all isolates belonging to intestinal bacteria family Enterobacteriaceae a bacterium Escherichia coli (7) isolation, bacteria Proteus mirabilis (5) isolation, bacteria Proteus vulgaris (4) isolation, bacteria Klebsiella pneumoniae (3) isolation and Serratia marcescens (1) isolation. It was examined 25 samples of the Fasciola parasite, 18 samples have been isolated from bovine and 72% of the total samples. The results showed that 16 samples of which were containing on bacteria and 88.88% of the total samples tested for Fasciola in cows, while no isolation of bacteria from 2 samples and 11.1% of the total samples tested for Fasciola in cows. The rest consist 7 samples were isolated from sheep and 28% of the total aggregate samples. The results showed that 4 samples of which were containing on bacteria and 57.1% of the total samples tested for Fasciola in sheep, while no isolation of bacteria from 3 samples and 42.8% of the total samples tested for Fasciola in sheep. The results of the current study also showed changes in the bile ducts were it calcification and necrosis as a result of the interaction between the bacteria and the parasite as well as the obvious changes in Bile since become thick mucous textures and color with yellowish Unlike natural Bile that are water-green color and textures.
