\u00a0<\/strong>The master\u2019s thesis titled: \u201cConventional and Molecular Diagnosis of Microfilariae of Filarial Worms in Cattle and Buffalo\u201d<\/strong> by the student Zainab Ghalib Ali<\/strong>, under the supervision of Prof. Sara Salem Abdulrazzaq<\/strong>, was discussed on Tuesday, 21 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. Manal Hammadi Hassan<\/strong> (College of Veterinary Medicine \u2013 University of Mosul) \u2013 Chair<\/li>\n
  2. Prof. Qais Talib Shakir<\/strong> (College of Veterinary Medicine \u2013 University of Mosul) \u2013 Member<\/li>\n
  3. Asst. Prof. Marwa Hashim Dawood<\/strong> (College of Science \u2013 University of Mosul) \u2013 Member<\/li>\n
  4. Prof. Sara Salem Abdulrazzaq<\/strong> (College of Veterinary Medicine \u2013 University of Mosul) \u2013 Member and Supervisor<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The study investigated microfilaria infections in blood samples and skin scrapings collected from cattle and buffalo using both conventional and molecular diagnostic methods. Various staining techniques were applied to detect the parasite, in addition to employing molecular approaches for confirmation. The research successfully recorded four genetic isolates<\/strong> of microfilaria belonging to different filarial worm species in the international GenBank database<\/strong>. This study is considered the first of its kind in Iraq<\/strong> to utilize molecular techniques for diagnosing microfilariae in cattle and buffalo.<\/p>\n

    After the student confidently defended her 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
