The present study is an attempt to determine the Etiology (Bacterial & Parasitic) of
Buffaloes Pulmonary Lesions. For this purpose samples of(105) affected lungs were collected
’ "from abattoirs. of the cities in southern part of Iraq named (Basra, Amara, Nassirya and the
Qurna). * 1
Samples of the investigation were obtained through the examination of a total of (917) lung
apparently healthy buffaloes examined in six months period from 1st of October 1980 to end
ofMarch 1990.
Among the encountered Pulmonary Lesions, (68) = eases ((>4.7(>%) were associated with
bacterial isolation and from (6) cases (5.71%) no etiology identified.
The various bacterial isolates associate with different pulmonary lesions are mentioned and it's
significance is discussed. Pulmonary parasitic infection were encountered in (31) cases
« (29.5%) of all types of lung affection observed among which one case (3.2%) was caused by
V Dict. viviparous and one case of migration of liver flakes (Fasciola gigantic) twenty nine
(93.2%) due to larval ofthe tape worm (echinococcus granulose ).
