Article Abstract
Abortion in livestock is a public health burden, and the cause of economic losses for farmers. Abortion can be multifactorial, and a deep diagnostic investigation is important to reduce the spread of zoonotic disease and public health prevention. In our study, a multidisciplinary investigation was conducted to address the cause of increased abortion and lamb mortality on a farm, which detected a co-infection of and . Hence, it was possible to conclude that this was the reason for a reduced flock health status and the cause of an increased abortion rate. Furthermore, the investigation work and identification of the infection root allowed the reduction of economic loss.

Background And Aim: is a significant zoonotic pathogen linked to reproductive losses in livestock and serious health risks in humans. In Iraq, listeriosis remains underreported in sheep, with limited data on its molecular and epidemiological characteristics. This study aimed to (1) estimate the seroprevalence of in recently aborted ewes, (2) evaluate the association between seropositivity and clinical indicators, and (3) perform molecular detection and phylogenetic analysis of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-confirmed isolates.

This systematic review, conducted according to PRISMA guidelines, provides a comprehensive synthesis of epidemiological data on Coxiella burnetii, the causative agent of Q fever, in humans and animals worldwide. A total of 1321 publications were identified, of which 166 met the inclusion criteria. Q fever, first described in 1937 in Australian abattoir workers, remains a globally distributed zoonosis, with domestic ruminants (sheep, goats, cattle) serving as the primary reservoirs and sources of human infection.

is responsible for the disease toxoplasmosis and has the broadest host range among apicomplexan parasites, as it infects virtually all warm-blooded vertebrates. Toxoplasmosis is a zoonotic and emerging public health concern with considerable morbidity and mortality, especially in the developing world, affecting approximately one-third of the world's human population. Clinical presentation varies among species, and the infection establishes lifelong chronicity in hosts.
