ُنفذ البحث في الموسم 2011-2012 في مخابر قسم التقانات الحيوية التابع للهيئة العامة للبحـوث العلمية الزراعية بهدف الكشف عن وجود بيوض Giardia على 120 عينة شملت 40 عينة ميـاه ري و 80 عينة خضار جمعت عشوائياً من عشر مناطق زراعية مختلفة ضمن محافظة ريف دمشق باستخدام تقانة الـPCR .بينت نتائج الدراسة بعـد فـصل نـواتج تفاعـل PCR أن النـسبة المئويـة للتلـوث بـِ Giardia كانت %8.25 ، موزعةً على %5.37 في عينات مياه الري و %20 في عينات الخـضار. تَبين وجود بيوض النوع lamblia. G في 15 عينة من أصل المجموع الكلي للعينـات توزعـت علـى 7 عينات مياه ري و 8 عينات خضار. أعطت منطقة مسرابا أعلى نسبة تلـوث %6.41 بالنـسبة إلـى الجنس Giardia و %25 بالنسبة إلى النوع lamblia. G و دون فرق معنوي مع منطقة الكفرين التـي أظهرت أقـل نـسبة تلـوث (33.8%) بالنـسبة لِــ Giardia ،G و خلوهـا مـن بيـوض النـوع lamblia. G .أكدت هذه الدراسة أهمية تطبيق طرائق البيولوجيا الجزيئية في الكشف عن وجـود هـذا الطفيلي على الخضار و المياه المروية بها، و قد أظهرت أزواج المرئسات المستخدمة نوعيـة و حـساسية عاليتين في الكشف عن الجنس Giardia و تمييز النوع الممرض للإنسان lamblia.

This investigation was carried out during 2011–2012 season at the biotechnology department\General Commission for Scientific Agricultural Researches in order to detect the presence of Giardia Cysts on fresh vegetables and irrigation water using PCR technique to detect the status of Giardia cysts in ten different agricultural areas of Damascus Countryside. 120 samples including, 40 irrigation water and 80 vegetables samples were randomly collected and tested. Out of 120 samples examined, only 25.8 % were contaminated with Giardia cysts and these included 37.5% of irrigation water samples and 20% of fresh vegetables samples. G. lamblia cysts were detected in 12.5% of examined samples, 17.5% of irrigation water samples and 10% of fresh vegetables samples. The majority of contaminated samples (41.6%), (25%) for Giardia and G. lamblia, respectively were from Misraba area without statistically significant with Kafrein area, which showed the lowest contamination with Giardia cysts (8.33%) and was free of G. lamblia cysts. This study confirmed the importance of application of molecular biology methods in the detection of Giardia on vegetables and their Irrigation water, since used primers showed high specificity and sensitivity in the detection of the Giardia genus and discriminate the Human pathogenic type, G. lamblia.

This study carried out on one hundred lungs of Awassi Syrian sheep
were collected randomly from Damascus countryside slaughter
houses.
The cherry fruit is classified to be after the apple fruit according to its
economic importance and the cherry tree is firstly considered economically
important due to its continuous and plentiful bearing if it’s provided with all
requirements and
techniques for the suitable agriculture and its needs from
irritation and fertilizer are medium. The aim of the research was to study the
costs of production cherry with a comparison between some economic
indicators for each of the cherry rainfed and irrigated cherry. Results showed
that the cost of one hectare from irrigated cherry was higher by about 3 times
than the cost of one hectare of rainfed due to the raise in the cost of irrigation.
The study also showed that the profits of the irrigated profits exceeded that of
the rainfed cherry by about 2 times since the productivity of the irrigated
hectare is two folds more than the productivity of the rainfed hectare. It was
also shown that the effect of variable time on the space was positive, changes in
the spaces resulting from the effect of time was 95%, while the effect of time on
both the production and the yield was negative. The relationship between time
and all of the production and yields was weak (8%).
Fungal infections caused by Aspergillus species generally are occupying a
second place among invasive fungal infections in the world, especially A.
fumigatus, which is considered the main cause of invasive Aspergillosis (IA).
Although IA rarely in
fects immunocompetent individuals, however, it can
lead to death in immunocompromised patients. Therefore, it is necessary to
diagnose the infection early in order to treat the disease efficiently.
However, the conventional diagnostic tools, currently used to detect
infections, has low sensitivity and reliability.
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology distribution as a molecular
and high sensitive technology has allowed us to make comparative study
between sensitivity of traditional currently used diagnostic method and
Nested-PCR, the result of the study of sputum samples that experimentally
infected with different concentrations of A.fumigatus spores ramping from 10
to106 spore/ml, have high sensitivity and specificity of Nested-PCR in
detecting the lower concentrations, comparing with traditional diagnostic
method (culture on Sabouraud media) that were negative in all
concentrations.
Leishmaniasis spreads in eighty-eight countries, including the Syrian Arab
Republic. This disease is caused by a protozoic parasite of the genus
Leishmania. Twenty-two species of leishmania were reported to be pathogenic
for human. The disease is
presented in three clinical forms: cutaneous,
mucocutaneous and visceral leishmaniasis. A set of methods for diagnosis and
identifying the type of parasite have been developed in order to give
appropriate treatment. These methods include isoenzyme analysis, serological
and immunological methods and DNA hybridization. The polymerase chain
reaction (PCR), using genomic or kinetoplastid DNA; provides an excellent tool
for diagnosis and characterization of leishmania species. In this work, the two
types of DNA were extracted in one step from cultured isolates taken from
patients. We have used kinetoplastid DNA and specific primers to determine
parasite species by PCR. These primers amplify species specific fragment. In
this study, we have determined that the causative species of the cutaneous
leishmaniasis in all patients was L.tropica.
The research was conducted in order to investigate the metal
contaminants (lead Pb،cadmium Cd ، arsenic As), which moves
from irrigation water to many types of vegetables which irrigated
from it,and compared the extent of pollution by irrigation source
(treatment sewage، wells water), and by vegetable type
(Vegetables, fruit plants, tuberous), and by the irrigation method
used (surface irrigation ، modern irrigation).
