Abstract
1.The study area spend Tikrit in Salah Aden province, and followed him from the aspects and villages and tubing such as Al-Alam district , Hawi Albu-Ajeel, Al-Naama areas, a series Hamrin mountains east of the Tigris River, stretching from north to south and Al Awja district, Aouinat, Mahzm, Al-Hamra and al-Jazeera to Lake Tharthar west of the Tigris River.

A.The effect of infection for the seasons of the year. The highest proportion of infection in the early winter (December first) while the lowest rate of infection in the mid-summer (July).
- Ratio of infection for genus lung worms. The rate of infection genus Dictyocaulus 21.5%, the highest rate while the rate of infection genus Neostrongylus 2.1%, representing the lowest percentage of infection among the five races the rest of the races where concatenated infection rates downward Muellerius 13.6% and then Protostrongylus 10.9 % then Cystocaulus .
- Ratio of infection single and mixed. Single scored infection rate of 13.79% and mixed infection rate of 15.48% during the year (2014).
- Show that the proportion of infection to the search area along the Tigris River is higher than the rest of the other search areas due to contamination of pasture and increase the availability of moisture and Alamadaiv moderation in all seasons of the year.
