Q fever is a zoonotic disease caused by Coxiella burnetii. This study investigated the prevalence of C. burnetii in traditional dairy products, specifically yogurt and cheese, Lorestan Province. A total 100 samples unpasteurized cheese were collected from various regions. To analyze genome burnetii, DNA was purified molecular detection performed using nested PCR with primers specific to IS1111 transposon gene. The results revealed 13.3 % (95 CI: 6.9 %-24.16 %) 12.5 5.46 %-26.11 samples....
Q fever is a global bacterial disease that affects both humans and animals. The etiological agent of the Coxiella burnetii. aim investigation was to detect existence C. burneti in serum samples patients with symptoms suspicion brucellosis west Iran. In current survey, 150 Wright agglutination assay were collected from health centers Lorestan, Hamadan, Ilam, Kermanshah, Kurdistan provinces 2003. DNA extracted all these samples, which taken individuals suspected having brucellosis. Then,...
Streptococcus Iniae infection is recognized as a disease with substantial economic losses, infecting wide range of fish species. The limitations current vaccines and strategies have led to the identification new methods control this disease. Multi-epitope which employ various immunogenic proteins can be promising. research project aimed design an efficient multi-epitope vaccine against in fish. To end, six Iniae, including FBA, ENO, Sip11, GAPDH, MtsB, SCPI proteins, were applied for epitope...
Background: Coxiella burnetii is the cause of Q fever. There no adequate information about fever in rural pregnant women Iran. Objectives: The aim this study was to investigate seroprevalence C. infection among with historical contact livestock Khorramabad (western Iran). Methods: This cross-sectional conducted from December 2016 June 2017 on 184 samples collected randomly who referred clinical laboratories and health centers Khorramabad. data were examined using indirect ELISA assay kits...
Background:Francisella tularensis is a Gram-negative bacterium that causes tularemia in both human and animals. Tularemia potential serious zoonotic disease transmitted by different routes, including tick bites. Materials Methods: This study deals with investigating the prevalence of F. ticks local animal farms Kurdistan region since farmers are normally close contact livestock. We used molecular methods for this purpose. A total 412 126 blood samples were gathered from goat, sheep, cow...
Background: Q fever is caused by the bacterium Coxiella burnetii. To date, no studies have been conducted on rate of infection among veterinary staff in Lorestan province. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate seroprevalence staff. Methods: This cross-sectional was from April July 2019 92 samples collected randomly province who had a history contact with livestock and were tested via indirect immunofluorescence kit. Results: In this study, 77 (83/69%) positive, 15 (16/3%)...
Background: Tuberculosis is known as one of the most dangerous diseases caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Although different strategies have been applied to prevent this disease, it still considered a killer disease in world. Objectives: This project was conducted design novel poly-epitope vaccine based on three antigenic proteins against Methods: To vaccine, first, tuberculosis, including Dnak, FbpA, and katG were selected from database. Then, B cell, MHCI, MHCII epitopes predicted...
