| molecular detection of leishmania infection in sand flies in border line of iran-turkmenistan: restricted and permissive vectors. | a molecular study was carried out to incriminate sand fly vectors of cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) in rural areas of sarakhs district, khorassane-razavi province, northeastern iran, in 2011. sand flies of sergentomyia with three species and phlebotomus with six species respectively comprised 73.3% and 26.7% of the specimens. phlebotomus papatasi was the most common phlebotomine species in outdoor and indoor resting places. leishmania infection was found at least in 17 (22%) specimens including ph ... | 2013 | 23933280 |
| molecular characterization of sandflies and leishmania detection in main vector of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis in abarkouh district of yazd province, iran. | to assess molecular characterization, distribution, seasonal activities of sandfly species and leishmania parasites infecting them for this zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis focus. | 2013 | 23870468 |
| distribution, fauna and seasonal variation of sandflies, simultaneous detection of nuclear internal transcribed spacer ribosomal dna gene of leishmania major in rhombomys opimus and phlebotomus papatasi, in natanz district in central part of iran. | zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (zcl) due to leishmania major is increasing in many parts of iran. this disease originally is a disease found in gerbils. leishmania parasites are transmitted by sandflies that live and breed in gerbil burrows. nested pcr amplified leishmania its1-5.8s rrna gene in both main reservoir host "rhombomys opimus" and in the "phlebotomus papatasi" main vector of zcl, in iran. population differentiation and seasonal variation of sandflies were analyzed at a microgeograp ... | 0 | 22801285 |
| pcr based on identification of vectors of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis in shahrood district, central of iran. | a study was made in rural region of shahrood city, semnan province in the central of iran during 2005 to investigate of vectors of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis. sticky traps and an aspirator were used for collecting of sandflies. three species of phlebotomus papatasi, p. caucasicus and sergentomyia sintoni were collected and identified and the first species was dominant (53%). nested pcr method were employed for identifying of isolated parasites of dissected female of sandflies. among the di ... | 2007 | 19093447 |
| epidemiological study in a new focus of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the islamic republic of iran. | an outbreak of cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) in sabzevar county prompted this study of the epidemiology and the ecology of vectors and reservoirs. examination of 541 schoolchildren showed rates of 9.4% for scars and 5.9% for ulcers. among 807 inhabitants of 4 villages, 10.4% had scars and 3.0% had active lesions. the most highly infected age group was 0-4 years with a rate of 5.9%. a total of 12 849 sandflies representing 7 species were collected in the study area. leptomonad infection was found ... | 2003 | 15748078 |
| a new epidemic focus of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis in central iran. | reports from the health center of yazd province of increasing cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) cases led us to carry out an epidemiological study using standard techniques in ardakan county, central iran, during 2001. | 2004 | 15323269 |
| seasonal variation of leishmania major infection rates in sandflies from rodent burrows in isfahan province, iran. | in preparation for field trials of killed leishmania major vaccine, natural infections with leishmania promastigotes were monitored in phlebotomine sandfly vectors from villages of borkhar rural district, northeast of isfahan in central iran, where l.major zymodeme mon-26 ( = lon-1) has been identified as causing zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (zcl). sandflies were collected and dissected weekly, from burrows of rodent colonies, during the "sandfly season', june-october 1991. leptomonad infect ... | 1996 | 8744712 |
