SUMMARY Toxoplasmosis is the fourth most common cause of hospitalization and second death due to food-borne infections. We conducted a cross-sectional study determine prevalence, disease awareness risk factors associated with toxoplasmosis among rural communities in Northern Iran. Data were obtained from serological testing participant's questionnaires analyzed using logistic regression. Of 630 participants, 465 (73.8%), 12 (1.9%) had IgG both IgM anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies,...
Objectives Toxoplasmosis is an infection that widespread in populations comprising humans and other warm-blooded creatures caused by the protozoan parasite called Toxoplasma gondii . Hence, knowledge of seroprevalence associated risk factors essential for planning adequate efficient population health interventions. The objective present study was to evaluate seropositivity T. epidemiological indices different categories East Azerbaijan Province, Iran. Methods This cross-sectional survey...
Acanthamoeba- related infections, such as amoebic keratitis and granulomatous encephalitis, can develop in high-risk population through contaminated water sources. Thus, surveying resources, particularly those available for human use, is of the utmost importance. In present study, 67 samples were collected from resources East Azerbaijan, a province northwestern Iran. Samples cultured on enriched non-nutrient agar plates, sequencing-based approaches used genotyping. The pathogenic potential...
Toxocariasis is one of the most important and widespread neglected tropical infectious diseases. We designed a cross-sectional study to assess seroepidemiological aspects toxocariasis among general population in northern Iran. A total 630 rural subjects were enrolled participate study. The presence anti-Toxocara immunoglobulin G (IgG) was tested using commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. structured questionnaire also used evaluate potential risk factors related clinical...
Leishmaniasis refers to a disease with wide range of manifestations; and there are three main forms disease, cutaneous, mucocutaneous, visceral. is one the diseases protozoan agent which vector-borne. Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) most severe form that can be fiercely life-threatening if left untreated. VL caused by members Leishmania donovani complex, in Iran, infantum considered primary causative VL, resulting zoonotic VL. The two goals our work, followed prior sero-epidemiological...
The aims of the current study were to determined present status CL in Shiraz City, identify causative species Leishmania and conduct phylogenetic evaluations detected parasites.This was conducted on 70 individuals with suspected that referred major health centers (Valfajr), Fars province, Iran, from Sep 2016 Jul 2017. DNA extracted cultured promastigotes PCR-RFLP performed using ITS1-rDNA gene.Overall, 39 male (55.70%) 31 (44.30%) female found be positive microscopically. All direct examined...
Objective: To clarify the epidemiological aspects of visceral leishmaniasis in Kaleybar and Khoda-Afarin districts, north-west Iran. Methods: A total 1 420 human (children under 12 years) samples, 101 domestic dogs samples (Canis familiaris), 577 female sand fly were collected. Sera tested using direct agglutination test, flies identified at species level microscopic method. Furthermore, a structured questionnaire was applied to evaluate correlation between potential risk factors related...
Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) as a public health concern is increasingly circulating by causative agents of Leishmania tropica and L. major in Iran. As regard to recent treatment failure controlling problems, the accurate elucidation heterogeneity traits taxonomic status spp. should be broadly addressed policymakers. This study was designed determine genetic variability molecular characterization from Iranian CL patients.One hundred positive Giemsa-stained slides were taken clinical isolates...
