TY - JOUR ID - TI - water contamination with protozoa in Kirkuk province تلوث الماء بالابتدائيات الطفيلية في محافظة كركوك AU - Yahya Gargies Salman يحيى جرجيس سلمان PY - 2007 VL - 3 IS - 1 SP - 78 EP - 85 JO - Tikrit Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences مجلة تكريت للعلوم الصيدلانية SN - 18152716 2664231X AB - A total of i50 water sarnples examination in Kirkuk province were carried out using direct
deposit examine microscopically, study parameters involves four type of water collections : direct (governmental pipes), indirect ( tank vehicle) ,well water & river water ( Khasah Sou),
which divided in to four positions. The main aims of this study are to detect role of parasitic
stages in contamination of water in Kirkuk Province & to assess the relationship betwein water
contamination with protozoa & some water quality tests like (pH, TurblOity A chlorine
percentages). The result of the study shows all rate of contamination i4%, which divided into
L2 % & 2 o/o in urban arca & rural area respectively ,P<0.05. River water shows high rate of
contanrination 12 o/0, followed by 1.33 % &0.66% from direct (Governmental pipei) & well
water respectively P<0.05.The rate of water turbidity was 10.66 % with high occunence in river
water 5.33 % & the lowest rate 0.66Yo was in wells. P<0.05.Abnormal chlorine percentage was
seen in 6-water sample with.the rate 4 % P>0.05. Abnormal PH of wate, ,*p1., were ianged
fi'om 5.23 to 10.3 which had no role in frequency of parasitic forms in water, p<0.05.The more
common parasitic forms that found are Entamo eba hiitolytica thatwas highly dominated in river
water 12 o/o followed by Giardia lamblia 3.22%. Other microorganisms ttrut *" isolate include
Candida species 12,6 % and Paramecium I2Yo. Total rate of water contamination with
nricroorganisms is 42 %.
