Description
Zeena Dhubyan Mohammed Zaki and Wasan A. Alobaidii published a veterinary study in 2025 on a stomach worm in cattle in Mosul, Iraq. The roundworm is a major limit on cattle productivity in temperate regions. It causes weight loss and watery diarrhea. The team looked for antibodies against it in cows' milk.
Milk came from two hundred cows showing those symptoms. A standard antibody test was run on the milk samples. More than half the animals tested positive for infection. Infection rose with age and peaked in the oldest group studied. Locally raised cattle tested positive far more often than imported ones. Outdoor keeping also related to higher rates. The survey maps how widely the parasite circulates locally.
