Molecular detection of NDV by Real-Time PCR in Baghdad

Abstract: Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is widely spread in Iraqi chicken that is associated with notable economic losses. Current study was carried out to identify NDV in the North of Baghdad by employing a Molecular methods based on the Real-Time PCR technique, the primers and the probe also were designed based on the conserved fragment coding matrix protein(M gene).These genes of virus show the highest level of conservation, and therefore the test is adaptable for detection of NDV. In the current study, 14 clinically suspicious birds believed to be infected with ND, had been chosen from 14 different commercial poultry farms in various areas of North Baghdad brought to the Aurok and Al-Emad Lab. Baghdad/ Iraq. The infected birds were examined and the tissue samples collected from ceca tonsils, spleens, trachea, lungs and brains of each farm. These samples were submitted to examination directly by Real-time PCR. The Results of the samples collected from 14 poultry flocks were showed positive results in ten samples with the SYBR Green I real-time PCR and the other 4 flocks failed to show any positive results with both gene primers.

Production of Melanin from Aspergillus fumigatus as an Avirulence Factor

Abstract: In this quantitative examination of melanin was detected in 41 isolates of fumigatus. It was found that the significance of the difference in which the production of melanin (p ˂ 0.001) was the range of melanin extracted from fumigatus between (1.2 - 3.1 mg/mL). The isolates AFU1, AFU14, AFU29, AFU30, and AFU41 indicated that the maximum production ranged between (2.9-3.1 mg/mL). 2 hours at 100°C. It has similarities with standard melanin characters, and the same chemical characters of melanin extracted from the hymen of Bjerkandara adusta have been achieved according to a study (14) meaning there is similarity with standard melanin. The overlay of IR spectra of synthetic melanin extracted from fungal cultures showed a high degree of similarity. Purification of melanin from A. fumigatus. Wave numbers shown in 3381, 2927, 1867, 1531, 1404, 1073 and 651 cm-1 The wave range can be traced to the following chemical groups: 3381 cm-1 attributed to OH bonds, 2927 cm-1 to HC or HC = 0 bonds 1404 (C-CH3), and 651 cm -1 to (acyclic) CH2 bonds.
