The point of our study was to examine the interaction ammonia-N poisoning and salinity on serum enzymes oxidative stress factors blood liver in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). 50% lethal concentration (LC50) 96 h 0.86 mg/L ammonia-N. A random allocation used divide fish into 12 treatments. These treatments encompassed various combinations acute levels (0 LC50-96 h), sub-acute (30% (0, 4, 8, ppt). experimental design employed a factorial arrangement 3 × 4.The findings revealed that...

Cats most commonly receive toxic amounts of acetaminophen (APAP) because owners medicate them without consulting a veterinarian. The aim this study was to compare the hepatoprotective action silymarin and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) against APAP poisoning. Twenty healthy cats were randomly allotted five equal groups. Animals in group A given (single dose 150 mg/kg, p.o.); groups B C consisted that received NAC (100 p.o.) or (30 concurrent with administration respectively; D E treated like C,...

Summary Ovine anaplasmosis is a tick-borne rickettsial disease, widespread in tropical and subtropical areas. In the present study, PCR-RFLP method based on major surface protein 4 (MSP4) gene, was utilized for detection of Anaplasma infection 119 sheep blood samples collected from different parts Ahvaz southwest Iran. PCR identified infections 87.4% (104/119) contrast to routine smear examination, which revealed inclusion bodies only 33.6% (40/119) samples. RFLP assessment that all positive...

The aim of this research was to evaluate the interaction effects ammonia-N levels and salinity on hematological serum biochemical parameters in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). fish were randomly divided into 12 treatments including (0, 4, 8 ppt) 0, 50% LC50-96 h 30% a factorial design (4 x 3 ammonia levels). Hemoglobin value all treatments, except for namely 2, 3, showed significant decrease than control (0 ppt no poisoning). Also, red blood cells treatment significantly less control....

SUMMARY: Potassium (K) is a major electrolyte in intracellular fluids. Milk as an fluid contains large amounts of K, and high-milk yielding cows always obligatory excreted significant K milk, so they may be exposed to hypokalemia. Hence, this study aimed investigate the serum changes related different milk production levels evaluate treatment possible hypokalemic dairy with gelatin capsules potassium chloride (KCl). 135 170 lactating were studied from two farms (Isfahan Behbahan,...

To identify the genotypes of prevalent Cryptosporidia in broiler chickens Lorestan province, Iran. A total 1 000 fecal and trachea samples were collected from chickens. Smears both tracheal stained with modified Ziehl-Neelsen method nested PCR-RFLP according to amplification 18S rRNA gene using Ssp I Vsp restriction enzymes DNA sequencing. From examined 0.7% was positive for Cryptosporidium. Infection present 0.5% also trachea. Only 0.3% simultaneous infections observed. Nested PCR our...

With the increasing emergence of drug resistant Leishmania sp. in recent years, combination therapy has been considered as a useful way to treat and control Leishmaniasis. The present study was designed evaluate antileishmanial effects fisetin alone plus Meglumine antimoniate (Fi-MA) against infantum. IC50 values for were obtained 0.283 0.102 μM promastigotes amastigote forms, respectively. (MA, Glucantime) also revealed 0.247 0.105 amastigotes L. infantum, In order determine mode action...

This study was designed to determine the effect of garlic powder on humoral immune response broilers against NDV (Newcastle Disease Virus) vaccine. Two hundred and forty, two-day-old, Ross chicks were randomly assigned into 4 groups 60 birds each. Chicks in 1 2 given control mash diet during experiment (6 week), but those 3 fed supplemented with 3% powder, respectively. All except number vaccinated by eye-drop B1 strain (Pestikal, Croatia) at 9 18 days age. Ten blood samples taken from each...

Summary Wolbachia is an obligatory, intracellular α-proteobacterium which infect the reproductive and somatic tissues of some arthropod nematode populations. Because there are not any available data on presence this bacterium in Iran, present study was done to determine among 30 species arthropods nematodes. After DNA extraction from samples, we screened spp. with specific primers using PCR method. A total 770 (of 22 genera) 41 nematodes 6 were for Wolbachia. Overall 167 samples (18...

Summary Heartworm infection is one of the most important p arasitic diseases in dogs and an increasing number cases are reported each year by necropsy Ahvaz. This study was conducted to determine prevalenc e Dirofilaria immitis investigate risk factors rela ted heartworm disease urban this area. Blood samples were collected from 100 Feb 2007 2008. All examined modified Knott test, direct smear a ntigen detection (Immunochromatographic antigen rapid canine D. Ag Test Kit) technique detect...

The alterations of circulating adipocytokines have been reported in thyroid diseases or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but such data T2DM coincident with clinical and subclinical thyroid-dysfunctions are limited, remain to be investigated. We studied the changes serum chemerin, resisitin visfatin patients dysfunctions, their association inflammatory insulin resistance-markers. A total 272 female male Iranian participants were selected divided into six groups: euthyroid group, T2DM, sub...
