The incidence of human visceral leishmaniasis (VL) caused by Leishmania infantum, which is endemic in several parts Iran, has recently increased the Nourabad-Mamassani district Fars province, south country. Between 2003 and 2005, 12,688 sandflies were caught this focus, using CDC miniature light traps, sticky traps aspirators, an attempt to identify main vector L. infantum. When 120 parous, female Phlebotomus (Paraphlebotomus) alexandri individually checked for infection, assay based on PCR...

<title>Abstract</title> Dengue fever, caused by the dengue virus and spread mainly <italic>Aedes</italic> mosquitoes, is a significant public health concern in tropical regions. Bushehr Province southern Iran, with its conducive climate for mosquito breeding, shows limited data on prevalence, prompting this study. Researchers conducted study across ten cities Bushehr, collecting blood samples from 180 participants to detect dengue-specific antibodies through ELISA testing. Results revealed...

Ghir-Karzin district is one of the most important endemic foci visceral leishmaniaisis (VL) in Fars province southern Iran. To identify vector(s) Leishmania this focus, a total 2,539 sand flies were collected during June to September 2005. Eleven species (six Phlebotomus and five Sergentomyia) identified, which papatasi Scopoli major Annandale first (37.4%) third (11.2%) common species, respectively. Natural leptomonad infections observed two P. (4.25%) three (6.65%) specimens on dissection...

Visceral leishmaniasis is caused by Leishmania infantum, which transmitted to humans bites of phlebotomine sand flies and one the most important public health problems in Iran. To identify vector(s), an investigation was carried out Germi district, focus disease Ardebil province northwestern Iran, during July-September 2004 2005. Using sticky papers, CDC light traps aspirators, 3,560 were collected identified species. Host bloodmeal preference infections female specimens evaluated using...

Human cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is of increasing public-health importance in Iran. On 10 July 2003, two mild earthquakes struck the rural town Zarindasht southern Iranian province Fars. The results passive detection CL cases this (in which patients with any skin lesions were evaluated) from April 2002 to 2004 indicated that may have led an outbreak disease; annual incidence increased 58·6 detected cases/100,000 12 months before (an peak of) 864 following months. In addition, was by 2003...

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a potentially fatal viral vector-borne zoonosis which has mortality rate of up to 30% without treatment in humans. CCHF virus transmitted humans by ticks, predominantly from the Hyalomma genus. Following report two confirmed and one suspected death due Kurdistan province Iran 2007, this study was undertaken determine fauna hard ticks on domestic ruminants (cattle, sheep, goats) their possible infection with using reverse transcription PCR technique....

To investigate on patients leishmanial infections in Jask County. Impression smears were prepared from 2008, all, chequed for infection by microscopy and molecular assays. Whole DNA was extracted using Proteinase K Phenol/Chloroform/Isoamyl alcohol method. The variable segment minicircles of kinetoplast amplified via a Nested-PCR technique species-specific primers (LIN R4-LIN 17 -Lin 19). A total 40 20 patients, which, eight samples (40%) positive leishman body microscopic method, while, 18...

Zoonotic Cutaneous Leishmaniosis (ZCL) remains the most crucial vector-borne public health disease particularly in endemic rural parts of Iran. The main aim this study is to identify wild sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae), determine their infection rate, and differentiate host blood meal sources using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique. Sand fly populations were caught with sticky paper traps from 10 different villages county Darab, Fars...

Abstract Background Head lice infestation (Pediculosis) is one of the most important health challenges particularly in primary school-aged children. It often present among 6–11-year-old students various tropical and temperate regions world. The aim this study was to examine epidemiologic indices comparative analysis two pyrethroid-based non-chemical pediculicide products on head treatment school girls a rural setting Fars province, south Iran, as part randomized controlled assessor blind...

The annual incidence of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in Iran rose by 43% over a five year period, from 2002 to 2006; most these cases were caused Leishmania major. Two complementary standard and nested polymerase chain reactions (PCRs) used detect parasites within their natural vector, Phlebotomus papatasi. Twelve different sand fly species morphologically identified. abundant (31.3%) was P. Leptomonads found nine (2.4%) phlebotomines. Twenty (5.3%) positive for Leishmania-genus DNA using...

Human cutaneous leishmaniasis is one of the most challenging public health issues in many tropical and subtropical countries world, including Iran. More than half (54%) new zoonotic (ZCL) cases among Eastern Mediterranean were reported from Iran 2008. The detection Leishmania parasites rodents essential to incriminate them as probable reservoir hosts ZCL infection. As a result annual about 200–250 clinical Jask district southern Iran, feral trapped, identified species level, examined for...

The objective of this study was to identify the composition and production rate healthcare waste associated management practices in centres Bandar Abbas, southern Iran. A total 90 centres, including 30 physician offices, dental offices clinics were selected random way. Two samples summer two winter taken weighed from each centre at end successive working day on Mondays Tuesdays. Results showed that mean daily for clinic, office 2125.3, 498.3 374.9 g, respectively. Domestic-type potentially...

Gerbillus nanus Blanford, 1875 known as Baluchistan gerbil, is a granivorous solitary naked-footed species. No evidence of its natural infection with the protozoan parasite, Leishmania, has so far been provided. Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) major public health problem in many parts world, including Iran. The annual nationwide incidence human CL due to Leishmania (CLM) endemic rural areas was above 18,000 cases 2008. detection L. rodents fundamental importance for incriminating them potential...
