| the associations of leishmania major and leishmania tropica aspects by focusing their morphological and molecular features on clinical appearances in khuzestan province, iran. | cutaneous leishmaniasis has various phenotypic aspects consisting of polymorphic amastigotes with different genetic ranges. samples were collected from suspected patients of khuzestan province. prepared smears were stained, scaled, and measured using ocular micrometer. the cyt b, its-rdna, and microsatellite genes of leishmania were amplified and leishmania species were identified by molecular analyses. of 150 examined suspected patients, 102 were identified to leishmania species (90 l. major, n ... | 2014 | 25317423 |
| molecular characterization of leishmania spp. in reservoir hosts in endemic foci of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis in iran. | zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (zcl) is an expanding disease and a public health issue in iran. in the present study, rate of natural infection of rodent populations with leishmania was investigated in six endemic foci including 28 villages in golestan, esfahan, yazd, fars, khuzestan and ilam provinces. a total of 593 rodents were captured and identified as rhombomys opimus (n = 325), meriones libycus (n = 171), meriones persicus (n = 27), tatera indica (n = 37), nesokia indica (n = 12), rattu ... | 2013 | 23951928 |
| different morphologies of leishmania major amastigotes with no molecular diversity in a neglected endemic area of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis in iran. | molecular diversity of leishmania major and its morphological changes have become a controversial issue among researchers. some aspects of polymorphic shapes of amastigotes in clinical manifestations along with molecular variation were evaluated among suspected patients of some exceptional zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis locations in northern khuzestan, southwestern iran. | 2015 | 26081070 |
