To determine the prevalence of haemoparasites and blood parameters in livestock in 9 locations of Gabal al Akhder region in the north east of Libya, 460 randomly collected blood samples (424 from sheep and 36 from goats) between July and September 2014 were examined. Detection of haemoparasites was carried out by preparation of blood smears and staining with Giemsa&apos;s stain. Haemoparasites were detected in 20.2% (93/460) of blood samples examined, being 20.3% (86/424) and 19.4% (7/36) from sheep and goats, respectively. Highest prevalence rates of haemoparasitic infection were observed in Marawh (36.1%; 22/61) and Grnadh (30.6%; 19/62) locations whereas the lowest prevalence rate was observed in Sousse (8.2%; 5/61) location. Three haemoparasites were identified in sheep Anaplasma spp. (0.5 %; 2/424), Babesia spp. (0.2% 1/424) and Theileria spp. (17.8%; 75/424). On the other hand only Theileria  spp. was detected in goats (19.4%; 7/36). Mixed infection of Theileria spp. and Anaplasma spp. was identified in 1.7% (7/424) and Theileria spp. and Babsia spp. in 0.2% (1/424) of sheep, while no mixed infection was detected in goats. Lower levels of the hematological parameters RBCs, PCV and Hb were found in infected animals.<#LINE#>Ademola I.O. and Onyiche T.E.

<#LINE#>Status of ornamental fish import, research and scope in Nepal<#LINE#>Husen@Md. Akbal  <#LINE#>6-9<#LINE#>2.ISCA-RJAVFS-2019-002.pdf<#LINE#>Fishery Research Station, Pokhara, Kaski, Nepal<#LINE#>5/1/2019<#LINE#>27/4/2019<#LINE#>In this paper, status of ornamental fish species, its trade and research in Nepal has briefly summarized and also way forward for the future prospects. Annual import of ornamental fish was 318.1 metric ton in 2009 and increased to 1233.0 metric ton in 2017. Imported ornamental fish value was NRs.13.3 million in 2009 and increased to NRs.153.4 million in 2017. Total 43 ornamental fish shops were found in the Kathmandu and Pokhara valley, which sales 27 exotic ornamental fish species. 15 native fish species of Nepal possess attractive color and attributes to be a potential candidates for ornamental fish. These native fish species should be domesticated and its breeding and nursing technologies should be developed. If these species are promoted, the import of ornamental fish could be lessen in the near future.<#LINE#>Livengood E.J. and Chapman F.A.
