Nevertheless, our participant’s attitude waspositive regarding reporting the error and learning from their mistakes.Conclusions: Reducing patient maltreatment will require long-term continuous efforts to build a goodeducation that can addresses the local difficulties and improves patient safety towards HIV.

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first-time trypanosomes have been molecular phylogeny identified in relation to cattle sources. Of 150 cattle subjected to present study, blood samples, clinical examination and case history data were collected during of October 2018 to March 2019 at different areas of Wasit province, Iraq. Using the microscopy and molecular polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay, a totally 3.33% and 9.33% of study cattle were positives, respectively. Positives of PCR assay is considered as the goldstandard for comparison between infected and non-infected animals. Concerned to the animal risk factors (gender, age and breed), significant increases (P<0.05) were observed among the groups of females, 1-4 years and mix breed. Clinically, depression, lymph node enlargement, paleness of mucous membranes, decreasing of milk production and emaciation were the most detected symptoms. For vital signs, significant elevation (P<0.05) was in temperature, pulse and respiratory rates. Among hematological findings, significant decreases (P<0.05) in values of RBCs indices were reported in total RBCs, PCV, and Hb, whereas, no significant variations (P >0.05) were showed in values of MCV, MCH and MCHC. For WBCs, significant decreases (P<0.05) were found in total WBCs and lymphocytes and significant increases (P<0.05) in neutrophils, but in values of monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils (P >0.05). Phylogenetic analysis of six PCR-positives was revealed on two trypanosomes, T. theileri and Trypanosoma cf. cervi, species that detected for the first time among cattle of Iraq.

This study intended to diagnose this parasite through molecular diagnostics as well as identifying mutations and making a phylogeny for this parasite in Iraq. Using PCR analysis, the parasite was diagnosed for DNA sequencing of 10 samples taken from patients. The samples were cultivated on 3N agar, then examined for Leishmania major, which showed positive results. The genotypes of this parasite were determined (kDNA) by the symmetry and compared with the blast analysis.
