“…On the other hand, the high rate of IBD positive for intestinal amoebiasis among patients aging from 31 to 40 years may be related to environmental factors, stress and other gastrointestinal co-infection and co-impact of environmental factors 22,26 . Considering the high incidence of Entamoeba histoltytica among IBS elderly patients than in other ages, this finding is critical, because old people are susceptible to infection due immune suppresion ,diablitiang diseases and in this case most of the parasitic infections become opportunistic such as giardiasis, cryptosporidiosis and cyclosporiasis 34 .…”

Intestinal amoebiasis due to Entamoeba histolytica in association to gastroenteritis in Kirkuk city was recently reported. Objective: To measure fecal calprotectin (FC) also during intestinal amoebiasis. The relation between Ent.histolytica and gastroenteritis was investigated. Methodology: A total of 419 patients attend to the gastroenteritis clinics in two Hospital Kirkuk center. They suffer from gastrointestinal disorders (GITDs), such as diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, diarrhea altered by constipation. The collected stool samples were tested for: parasitological tests and fresh portion was extracted for fecal calprotectin using ELISA technique. Blood samples were tested for some hematological tests. For each stool sample direct double wet preparations were performed then confirmed by flotation technique. Overnight extracted fecal sample was tested for FC using ELISA-copro kit. Neutrophil count and white blood cells were calculated using samples using automated machine. Results: A total of 82.81 % of parasitic infection was recorded, and Entamoeba histolytica contributed rate was 24.85 %.Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) due to intestinal amoebiasis were highly recorded among patients aging from 31to 40 years (74.34 %) followed by 71.42 % among patients aging from 11 to 20 years. Compare to high rate in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patients aging from 41 to over than 60 years old. Samples from females positive for Entamoeba histolytica in relation to IBD and IBS exert significance compare to males. Fecal calprotectin positive level above than 50 ng/ml was recorded in 50 stool samples versus to 37 negative mean levels as Fc was below 50 ng/ml. Frequency of FC positive was higher among females than males. Leucopenia and neutrophilia were dominant among positive FC samples contrary to normal neutrophil count among FC negative samples. High rate 59.22 % of stool sample pH was ranged from 6.1 to 7. Conclusions: Entamoeba histolytica rate is high among patients with gastroenteritis particularly among IBD patients. ELISA Fecal calprotectin is good marker for detecting the injury caused by the parasites to the host.

“…We found no difference in prevalence between males (41.6%) and females (40%). These results were in agreement with other studies conducted worldwide (Rahi and Raheem, 2013;Salman et al, 2015) which indicates that both genders have equal chance of being infected. However because are more likely to be in contact with cattle/contaminants they may a higher change of infection (Tairsh et al (2017) and Adler et al (2017) In our study lower age was correlated with higher prevalence.…”

I collected 300 cow feces samples (130 males - 170 females) and used molecular analysis to detect the parasite. The results showed significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) between the infection rate using particle technology of 38% (38/100) and 41% (41/100) in cows and breeders, respectively, while traditional microscopic methods showed 21% (21/100) and 17% (17/100) in cows and breeders, respectively. DNA sequence analyzes of 10 isolates from infected cows identified four species of the Cryptosporidium parasite genus which included: C. parvum (6/10), C. andersoni (2/10), C. bovis (1/10) and C. ryanae (1/10. The species C. andersoni, C. parvum, C. bovis and C. ryanae have been genetically confirmed through DNA sequence analysis, and it is considered the first recording of these species in local cattle in Iraq. In breeders, three types of the Cryptosporidium parasite were recorded through DNA sequence analysis in 10 isolates from infected individuals, which included: C. parvum (2/10), C. andersoni (5/10) and C. hominis (3/10). It is considered the first recording of this species among breeders in Iraq.

“…However, H. pylori DNA has also been found in the colon [36] and feces of infected people [37], in addition to the surface epithelium of the stomach where it typically lives. Inflammatory factors are known to rise as a result of an increase in type 1 T helper lymphocytes (Th1) and/or T helper17 cells (Th17) in IBD [38]. Additionally, Crohn's disease patients are more likely to selectively activate Th1-and Th17-associated cytokines, which likely explains why H. pylori has a stronger protective effect in Crohn's disease than ulcerative colitis.…”

The term inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) refers to several chronic and recurrent inflammatory gastrointestinal disorders.. This current study was included (180) patients aged (15-60) with inflammatory disease of the internal organs who attended Al-Ramadi Teaching Hospital in Anbar Governorate between September 1st of 2021 to the 1st of May 2022. Elected according to the diagnosis of a gastroenterologist. Three groups of samples were created. The first group (60 samples) from patients full of IBD and Lamblia protozoan infection, group II (60 samples) of patients with inflammatory bowel disease and Entamoeba histolytica - infection suffering, and group III (60 samples) for patients with inflammatory internal organ disease and Helicobacter pylori infection. While the control group consisted of (40) healthy individuals of different ages (15-60) years. They did not have a history of inflammatory bowel disease upon examination by gastroenterologist .The present study revealed a statistically significant difference between the cases (all three groups), and as a result, the p-value for the control group was(<0.05).
