The master\u2019s thesis titled: \u201cMorphological and Molecular Diagnosis of Babesia<\/em> spp. and Transmitted Ticks in Buffaloes\u201d<\/strong> by the student Elias Fadel Elias Ibrahim<\/strong>, under the supervision of Prof. Nadia Hamed Mohammed<\/strong>, was discussed on Sunday, 5 July 2026<\/strong> at the Department of Microbiology, College of Veterinary Medicine.<\/p>\n

The examination committee consisted of the following members:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Prof. Ahlam Fathi Mahmood<\/strong> (College of Veterinary Medicine \u2013 University of Mosul) \u2013 Chair<\/li>\n
  2. Prof. Manal Hammadi Hassan<\/strong> (College of Veterinary Medicine \u2013 University of Mosul) \u2013 Member<\/li>\n
  3. Prof. Haitham Sadiq Al\u2011Bakri<\/strong> (College of Veterinary Medicine \u2013 University of Mosul) \u2013 Member<\/li>\n
  4. Prof. Nadia Hamed Mohammed<\/strong> (College of Veterinary Medicine \u2013 University of Mosul) \u2013 Member and Supervisor<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The study revealed significant scientific findings that enhanced the understanding of babesiosis in buffaloes. It successfully diagnosed Babesia bovis<\/strong> and Babesia bigemina<\/strong> using microscopic examinations and molecular techniques and recorded four genetic isolates<\/strong> in the GenBank<\/strong> database. The research also identified five species of ticks<\/strong> responsible for transmitting the parasite and demonstrated the efficiency of ready-made Leishman stain<\/strong> and Acridine Orange stain<\/strong> for rapid diagnosis. Additionally, it documented the developmental stages of the parasite within the hemolymph of ticks, contributing to a deeper understanding of disease transmission and supporting the development of effective control programs to reduce losses in buffalo herds.<\/p>\n

    After the student confidently defended his thesis and addressed the committee\u2019s questions, the thesis was approved<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Congratulations to the researcher, the supervisor, the College, and the Department of Microbiology on this scientific achievement. Best wishes to the examination committee. This defense aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
