Abstract The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence zoonotic bacteria, including Coxiella burnetii, Bartonella spp., Rickettsia Brucella Borrelia and Ehrlichia among small mammalian in Iran. We examined 618 mammals collected between 2016 2020 from different parts extracted DNA spleen samples used quantitative real-time PCR identify specific genes. found 559 (90.45%) infected with at least one analyzed pathogens. Among studied specimens, 86.08% tested positive for 2.42% 0.80%...
Introduction: Kurdistan Province in Iran is a historical focus for plague and tularemia. This study aimed at assessing the current status of these two foci by studying their rodent reservoirs. Materials Methods: Rodents were trapped ectoparasites collected. The genus species both rodents determined. Serological analyses blood samples done enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay standard tube agglutination Rodent spleen subjected to bacterial culture, microscopic examination, real-time PCR search...
Background Q fever is a zoonotic disease of great public health importance in Iran. This presented with high phase I antibody development chronic and II the acute form illness. study was conducted to evaluate seroprevalence among high-risk occupations Ilam province Western Methods findings In this cross-sectional study, 367 sera samples were collected from five groups comprised animal husbandry workers, farmers, butchers, slaughterhouse park rangers. The tested for IgG antibodies against...
Introduction: Plague and tularemia are zoonoses their causative bacteria circulating in certain regions of Iran. This study was conducted to investigate potential disease reservoirs amongst small wildlife species different Methods: Rodents, insectivores hares from seventeen provinces the country were collected 2014 2015. Samples taken spleens animals Real-time PCR applied detect nucleic acid sequences that specific Francisella tularensis Yersinia pestis, respectively. Results: Among 140...
Abstract Patients with the underlying valvular heart disease are at high risk of developing sub-acute or chronic endocarditis secondary to Coxiella burnetii . Q fever is most common manifestation along persistent infection. There some serologic and molecular evidence C infection in humans livestock Iran. As it possible observe Iran, seems necessary study prevalence this country. In present study, Infective Endocarditis (IE) patients (possible definite based on Duke Criteria) hospitalized...
: Objectives: We investigated the potential relationships between biofilm formation and prevalence of virulence genes (asa1, esp, cylA, gelE/sprE), antimicrobial resistance (aac (6â)/aph (2â) in Enterococcus faecalis isolated from patients with urinary tract infection. Patients Methods: In this survey 95 E. isolates infections staying at Shahid Beheshti hospital in Kashan, Iran, 2007 2008 were studied. analyzed encoding factors cylA and gelE/ sprE), [(aac (2â)] by PCR....
Abstract Background Recent seroepidemiological studies have suggested that tularemia could be an endemic bacterial zoonosis in Iran. Methods From January 2016 to June 2018, disease cases characterized by fever, cervical lymphadenopathy and ocular involvement were reported Youzband Village of Kaleybar County, the East Azerbaijan Province, northwestern Diagnostic tests included Francisella tularensis serology (including tube agglutination test ELISA), PCR, culture. Results Among 11 examined...
Francisella tularensis is the causative agent of tularemia in humans and a large number animal species. Considering recent evidence circulation this bacterium different parts Iran, especially western provinces, aim current study was to determine seroprevalence human population living Ilam Province.In 2015, 360 serum samples were collected from five groups people: ranchers (n = 112), farmers 79), butchers slaughterhouse workers 61), Nature Conservation Officers 34), referents medical...
In this study the clinical manifestations, laboratory findings, and management of five patients diagnosed with Mediterra- nean spotted fever (MSF) from southeast Iran are presented. All but one had recent tick-bite histories which were noticeable as black eschars (tache noire). Patients’ samples tested by real-time PCR serology (IFA). The disease was confirmed fourfold rising IgG antibodies against Rickettsia conorii. This is first report MSF cases in Iran.
Tick-borne zoonotic diseases pose a threat to public health; hence, identifying the pathogenic agents associated with them is critical. The prevalence of Bartonella and Rickettsia in Iran unknown. This study aimed detect spp. species ticks northeast conduct phylogenetic analysis on these bacteria. Ticks from sample bank Research Center for Emerging Re-emerging Diseases were included this study. collected 2017 2018 domestic animals (sheep, goats, cows, camels, horses, dogs, donkeys) rodents...
The causative agent of plague, Yersinia pestis, is maintained in nature via a flea-rodent cycle. Western Iran an old focus for and recent data indicate that rodents dogs this region have serological evidence Y. pestis infection. purpose study was to conduct large-scale investigation infection shepherd dogs, rodents, their fleas foci plague Iran. This conducted Hamadan province from 2014 2020. Rodents were collected various locations throughout region. investigated rodent spleen samples using...
Tularemia and Q fever are endemic diseases in Iran; however, little information is available on the prevalence of causative agents, Coxiella burnetii Francisella tularensis , Iranian ticks. This study investigated C . F among hard ticks this country. We collected from livestock other mammals Guilan, Mazandaran, Golestan (northern Iran), Kurdistan (western West Azerbaijan (northwestern Iran) provinces. Genomic DNA was extracted screened for using Real-time PCR. A total 4,197 (belonging to 12...
Background and Objectives: Francisella tularensis has a wide distribution in northern hemisphere of the world. Up to now, there was little information about spp. situation environmental samples Iran. In this study we aimed determine prevalence northwest Materials Methods: A total 237 natural water from ponds, rivers, lakes, springs other surface waters north western provinces Iran (Kurdistan Western Azerbaijan) were collected September November 2015. All cultured for bacterial species Real...
Background Plague may recur after several decades in its endemic regions; therefore, the continuous monitoring of wildlife is essential, even when no human cases are reported old foci. The present study was conducted to monitor rodents and their ectoparasites as well carnivores learn about epidemiology plague infection an focus Iran. Methodology from 2019 2020 Takestan county Qazvin Province northwestern Rodents were caught using live traps, fleas separated. Blood spleen specimens taken...

Abstract Background Spontaneous miscarriage, a leading health concern globally, often occurs due to various factors, including infections. Among these, Coxiella burnetii and Brucella spp. may have adverse effects on pregnancy outcomes. While previous research has established link between infections spontaneous our study aimed specifically investigate the presence of these two pathogens in abortion samples from women who experienced miscarriages Iran. Our can add existing knowledge by...
The control and prevention of rodent-borne diseases are mainly based on our knowledge ecology the infectious status their reservoir hosts. This study aimed to evaluate prevalence
Abstract Aim Diarrhea is a common disease in immunocompromised patients and can be associated with greater morbidity even mortality. Therefore, the present study was designed to determine prevalence of Aeromonas spp., Campylobacter C. difficile among children.
