| leishmania species: detection and identification by nested pcr assay from skin samples of rodent reservoirs. | many rodent species act as reservoir hosts of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis in endemic areas. in the present study a simple and reliable assay based on nested pcr was developed for the detection and identification of leishmania parasites from rodent skin samples. we designed leishmania-specific primers that successfully amplified its regions of leishmania major, leishmania gerbilli and leishmania turanica using nested pcr. out of 95 field collected rhombomys opimus, 21 were positive by micros ... | 2010 | 20566364 |
| first microscopical and molecular-based characterization of leishmania major within naturally infected phlebotomus salehi (diptera; psychodidae) in fars province, southern iran. | zoonotoc cutaneous leishmaniasis is endemic in several parts of iran. jahrom district is one of the most important endemic foci of leishmaniasis located in fars province, southern iran. to identify the vectors of leishmaniasis in this area, a total of 349 sandflies were collected during may to august 2009. they were caught from outdoors in five regions of jahrom district including villages of mousavieh, ghotb-abad, heydar-abad, fath-abad and jahrom county. eleven species of phlebotomine (three ... | 2011 | 22185942 |
| phlebotomine sand flies (diptera: psychodidae) in iran and their role on leishmania transmission. | sand fly research has a long history in iran beginning with the work of adler, theodor and lourie in 1930 and followed by mesghali's foundational taxonomic work on sand flies in 1943. since then, research has been continued unabated throughout the country and official publications report the existence of at least 44 species of sand flies (26 of the genus phlebotomus and 18 of genus sergentomyia) in iran. so far, seven phlebotomus species and one sergentomyia species have been collected and descr ... | 2012 | 23293774 |
| emerging vector-borne zoonoses: eco-epidemiology and public health implications in india. | the diseases originating from animals or associated with man and animals are remerging and have resulted in considerable morbidity and mortality. the present review highlights the re-emergence of emerging mainly zoonotic diseases like chikungunya, scrub typhus, and extension of spatial distribution of cutaneous leishmaniasis from western rajasthan to himachal pradesh, kerala, and haryana states; west nile virus to assam, and non-endemic areas of japanese encephalitis (je) like maharashtra and je ... | 2014 | 25325052 |
| monthly activity of phlebotominae sand flies in sistan-baluchistan province, southeast iran. | the monthly activity of sand flies, which are vectors of leishmaniasis, was studied from may to october 1997 in three regions (plains, mountainous, coastal) of the sistan-bluchistan province using sticky paper traps. in each village, three houses were selected. 30 sticky traps were installed indoors (bedroom, guestroom, toilet, bathroom) and 30 were installed outdoors (rodent burrows, wall cracks). in total, 8,558 and 1,596 sand fly specimens were collected and identified from outdoors and indoo ... | 0 | 24784790 |
| inter- and intraspecific variations of leishmania strains isolated from patients with cutaneous and visceral leishmaniases in fars province, south of iran. | cutaneous and visceral leishmaniases are present in fars province in the south of iran. the current study aimed to evaluate the inter- and intragenic diversities of leishmania species isolated from patients with leishmaniasis in fars province, using pcr-based analyses and dna sequencing of the n-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate transferase (nagt) gene. | 0 | 27217605 |
| molecular detection of leishmania major and l. turanica in phlebotomus papatasi and first natural infection of p. salehi to l. major in north-east of iran. | leishmaniasis is an important public health disease in many developing countries as well in iran. the main objective of this study was to investigate on leishmania infection of wild caught sand flies in an endemic focus of disease in esfarayen district, north east of iran. | 2016 | 27308272 |
| identification and frequency distribution of leishmania (l.) major infections in sand flies from a new endemic zcl focus in southeast iran. | zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (zcl) is an important public health challenge in iran. it is often caused by the protozoan parasite, leishmania major. this pathogen is principally transmitted by the infectious bites of adult female phlebotomine sand flies which belong to the subgenus phlebotomus (phlebotomus) rondani and berte (diptera: psychodidae). a recent outbreak of clinical zcl cases in the rural district of jask, hormozgan province, southern iran prompted the identification of sand flies ... | 2012 | 22782477 |
| first molecular detection of leishmania major within naturally infected phlebotomus salehi from a zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis focus in southern iran. | human cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) is a major notifiable public health problem in many parts of iran. it is often caused by the zooflagellate parasite leishmania major which is mainly transmitted by the bites of female phlebotomine sandflies belonging to the genus phlebotomus (diptera: psychodidae). the annual incidence of cl in fars province, southern iran, was about 108-144 in 2007. the leishmanial infections of wild sandflies that may act as vectors were thus investigated at an endemic focus ... | 2012 | 22543597 |
| distribution, species composition and relative abundances of sandflies in north waziristan agency, pakistan. | this study was conducted to investigate the diversity of sandflies (psychodidae: phlebotominae) and the incidence of leishmaniasis in three villages of north waziristan agency, pakistan. sandflies were sampled monthly during 2012, at dusk and dawn, in selected indoor habitats including both bedrooms and animal sheds using a knock-down spray catch method. a total of 3687 sandflies were collected, including 1444 individuals in drezanda, 1193 in damdil and 1050 in dattakhel. this study revealed 14 ... | 2016 | 26582763 |
