Abstract
This study was carried out in Sulaimani province Kurdistan region-Iraq during the spring and summer seasons from April to September 2015 on 400 head of black goat Capra aegagrus were infected with ticks and lice, have been selected from different herds and regions were elonging to the districts and sub-districts of Sulaimani province, to identified and effect of their parasites on some blood values in the local goats. It has been diagnosed two species of hard ticks of the genus Rhipicephalus: R. sanguinaus and R. turanicus, its percentage 82.30% and 17.70% respectively, also have been diagnosed two species of lice: Biting lice is Damalinia capriae and other species Sucking lice was Linognathus stenopsis, its percentage 71.44% and 28.56% respectively. The results showed a significant difference P ˂ 0.01 in the infection rate between the spring and summer seasons where the total infection rate during the spring and summer seasons for ticks and lice: 32.25%, 19.75% respectively. As for ticks were more infections in the spring season and the least in the summer season, which were 44%, 20.5% respectively, whereas the infection rate of lice was more during the summer season and less during the spring season, which was 25.5% and 14% respectively. The study results showed presence of a significant decrease according to Chi-Square Test in the total number of red blood corpuscles RBC , the amount of hemoglobin Hb , packed cell volume PCV and the average weight of mean corpuscular hemoglobin MCH in the goats that infected with the lice and ticks, that anemia in the goats that infected with the ticks was Microcytic - Hyperchromic anemia type , while in the goats that infected with lice , anemia was of the the type Normocytic - Hyperchromic anemia. Also identified a significant increase P ˂ 0.05 in the total number of white blood cells WBC in the goats that infected with lice and goats because of the significant increase in the number of Lymphocyte and Neutrophils while the the ratio of Eosinophil, Basophil and Monocyte was decreased in all infections as compared with the control samples.
