| seasonal study of aflatoxin m1 contamination in milk in five regions in iran. | between april 2003 and february 2004, 98 samples of raw milk were obtained from milk tanks in one dairy plant in each of five regions in iran. these were chosen with mean distances apart of 400 km, whereby they have different ecologies (temperature, relative humidity, etc.) and different agricultural products were used for animal feeding. samples (24-25 per season) were laboratory heat treated and were analyzed for aflatoxin m1 with a validated high performance liquid chromatography (hplc) syste ... | 2007 | 17391793 |
| status of haemaphysalis tick infestation in domestic ruminants in iran. | the geographical distribution and ecological preferences of haemaphysalis in domestic animals in iran were studied 4 times a year from april 2003 to march 2005. a total of 1,622 ixodid tick specimens were collected from 3 different zones. among them, 108 (6.7%) haemaphysalis ticks, consisting of 6 species, were identified; h. punctata (3.4%), h. parva (0.5%), h. sulcata (0.6%), h. choldokovskyi (1.7%), h. concinna (0.06%) and haemaphysalis sp. (0.6%). h. punctata was the most abundant species, w ... | 2007 | 17570976 |
| a survey on hydatidosis in livestock in northern iran based on data collected from slaughterhouses from 2004 to 2008. | data have been collected from slaughterhouses in three provinces across the northern iran (gilan, mazandaran and golestan) from march 2004 to march 2008. these data were collected to evaluate the prevalence of hydatidosis in slaughtered cattle, sheep and goats. during the study, 3,347,797 animals were slaughtered. these included 621,686 cattle, 1,719,725 sheep and 1,006,386 goats. the prevalence of infection in cattle, sheep and goats was 12%, 14.6% and 10.1%, respectively. the association of co ... | 2011 | 21665368 |
| detection of theileria orientalis in iran by semi-nested pcr. | in order to identify and differentiate theileria orientalis in cattle which may be infected with theileria annulata simultaneously, a semi-nested pcr was performed. thus, 160 blood samples were collected from apparently healthy native cattle in golestan province of northern iran, during 2009 to 2011. the tbs-s/tbs-a primer set derived from the 18s rrna encoding gene was used for first pcr amplification, and the amplified sequence weight by this primer set for theileria sp. was 426-430 bp. then, ... | 2011 | 21755408 |
