Abstract Background The Anopheles culicifacies complex is one of the most important malaria vectors in Southeast Asia and Southeastern Iran. Although sibling species within this are morphologically indistinguishable, they differ significantly their disease transmission potential, blood-feeding behaviour, other biological traits. Cytogenetic chromosomal studies have identified five complex: A, B, C, D, E. Understanding composition distribution crucial for control strategies. Objectives This...
To determine the synergists action of piperonyl butoxide (PBO) and S,S,S-tributyl phosphorotrithioate (DEF) on toxicity carbamate insecticides against Blattella germanica in Tehran city. In current study, German cockroach strains were collected from several hospitals dormitories Tehran. At beginning, different concentrations bendiocarb carbaryl (insecticides belong to group) determined by surface contact a susceptible strain. Then, level susceptibility type resistance mechanisms contaminated...
Background: Anopheles stephensi is a key urban malaria vector in the Indian subcontinent and Middle East including south southeast of Iran. Wide application insecticides resulted resistance this species to various insecticides these regions. This study was conducted reveal role metabolic mechanisms development An. DDT cyfluthrin. Methods: Field mosquito specimens were collected from Chabahar Seaport, corner Iran, 2015. Insecticide susceptibility enzyme assays as recommended by WHO....
Kerman Province is one of the endemic foci scorpionism in southeastern Iran. Totally 17 species are reported for fauna. The current study seeks to determine fauna medically important scorpions northern parts this province.
AbstractAbstractMosquitoes play an important role in transmission of large number diseases including malaria, filariasis and arboviral diseases. Increasing application synthetic insecticides may be resulted resistant to insecticides. Furthermore, it have adverse effects on the environment human health. Currently, one most effective alternative approaches under biological control programs is using natural larvicidal agents derived from plants. The properties essential oil obtained aerial...
The use of natural products derived from plants in mosquitoes control is an alternative method for minimizing the side effects chemical pesticides on environment. In current study composition essential oil extracted indigenous plant, Zhumeria majdae was determined and identified by gas chromatography (GC) GC-mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. addition, larvicidal activity evaluated against two important mosquito vectors, Anopheles stephensi Culex quinquefasciatus. Thirty constituents,...
Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) remains a public health problem in the world, particularly tropical and sub-tropical countries. This study aimed to determine hotspots of CL Kerman Province Iran model their potential for establishment new disease foci. All documents related studies conducted on published between 1978 2017 were retrieved categorized. Spatial distributions vector, reservoir human infection mapped. MaxEnt ecological was used predict environmental suitability vector reservoir(s)...
Pediculosis is an important social challenge that can be caused by human head louse, Pediculus humanus capitis. This infestation cosmopolitan, especially in countries with low hygiene and sanitation. Regular health education classes for students their parents are required to reduce this schools families. study aimed evaluate the impact of a intervention program on reducing lice among pupils elementary school.In quasi-experimental study, total 880 school girls were screened pediculosis...
AbstractAbstractMosquitoes play a predominant role in the transmission of parasitic and viral diseases which are today among greatest health problems world. Currently, synthetic insecticides most commonly used compounds for control larval mosquitoes. Nevertheless, continuous indiscriminate use larvicides has also induced adverse effects. Essential oils obtained from plants can be an alternative to because they highly effective, safe, environmentally acceptable. In this study, stage Anopheles...
Objective: To evaluate the fauna, seasonal activity and host preference of sand flies to determine main vectors anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis in Mohammad Abad, Kerman Province, southeast Iran.Methods: Sand were collected indoors outdoors by sticky paper traps from May November, 2012.Regarding importance its impact on control, blood meal was analyzed restriction fragment length polymorphism method.The cytochrome b mitochondrial genomic regions (mitochondrial DNA) enzymatic digestion...
Abstract Although malaria is endemic in some areas of southeastern Iran, following the successful national elimination plan, local transmission area has been shrunk. The main cases Iran are due to Plasmodium vivax followed by P. falciparum. This study was aimed determine current situation Kerman Province and evaluate insecticide resistance vectors. field conducted 2019. Data new were obtained from health centers for period 2009–2018. Susceptibility status Anopheles stephensi An. dthali...
This study aims to evaluate knowledge, attitude and practice of butchers about Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) in Kerman city. A descriptive cross-sectional was conducted from October 2018 March 2019 city, southeast Iran. total 127 took part interview. Collected data were analyzed by using SPSS version 22. Totally, interviewed Kerman, that all participants the man. The mean age professional work experience 38.88 ± 10.47 18.14 11.45, respectively. results showed 47% this had less than...
In Iran, both cutaneous leishmaniases (CL) and visceral (VL) are endemic, recording one of the 10 highest CL prevalence in world. Parasites transmitted by bite infected Phlebotomus sand fly females. Several species have been identified as vectors studied region Kerman province. Residual spraying to control adult flies, is only way decrease spreading diseases but, following treatment against malaria endemic areas resistance or tolerance insecticides emerged some species. The objective this...
