چکیده

background: the main goal of the present study was to develop a new sensitive and specific pcr based method for identification of cryptosporidium sp. using novel primers from 18s ribosomal rna. cryptosporidi­osis in high-risk host groups particularly in neonates and immuno-compromised individuals may result in death. to the best of our knowledge this is the first study regarding develop a new pcr based method to diagnose the cryptosporidiosis in iran. methods: a total of 850 human fecal samples from patients clinically suspected to cryptosporidiosis and 100 healthy and diarrheic cattle stool specimens were collected. the simplified formol-ether concentration method was carried out for all samples. they were then examined microscopically by modified ziehl-neel­sen staining method. total dna was extracted by qia amp dna stool mini kit was carried out by using designed prim­ers. results: twenty nine cases of cryptosporidiosis infection in human and 30 samples from cattle microscopi­cally were posi­tive. the described primary and nested pcr method could detect all cryptospori­dium positive samples from human and cattle. regards to suspected negative samples in pri­mary pcr examination, the nested pcr could ap­prove two more positive results. furthermore, nested pcr analysis was able to detect one more case which was nega­tive in both microscopically examination and primary pcr. specificity of the test was 100%. sensitivity of nested pcr in comparison to our gold standard; microscopy after ridley concentration modified ziehl-neelsen, was 100 %. conclusion: our developed pcr based method by using new primers devised from 18s ribosomal rna revealed the ability for identification of the cryptosporidium species such as c. parvum and c. huminis with high specificity and sensitivity.

fabrication of new ion sensitive field effect transistors (isfet) based on modification of junction-fet for analysis of hydronium, potassium and hydrazinium ions

a novel and ultra low cost isfet electrode and measurement system was designed for isfet application and detection of hydronium, hydrazinium and potassium ions. also, a measuring setup containing appropriate circuits, suitable analyzer (advantech board), de noise reduction elements, cooling system and pc was used for controlling the isfet electrode and various characteristic measurements. the t...

Correction: PCR Primers for Metazoan Nuclear 18S and 28S Ribosomal DNA Sequences

BACKGROUND Metagenetic analyses, which amplify and sequence target marker DNA regions from environmental samples, are increasingly employed to assess the biodiversity of communities of small organisms. Using this approach, our understanding of microbial diversity has expanded greatly. In contrast, only a few studies using this approach to characterize metazoan diversity have been reported, desp...

PCR-based identification of Erysiphe pulchra and Phyllactinia guttata from Cornus florida using ITS-specific primers

The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of rDNA and the intervening 5.8S rRNA gene for the powdery mildew fungi Erysiphe (sect. Microsphaera) pulchra and Phyllactinia guttata were amplified using standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocols and the universal primer pairs, ITS1 and ITS4. PCR products for ITS were analysed by electrophoresis in a 1.5% agarose gel and sequenced. The si...

Identification of Bifidobacterium Strains Isolated from Fecal Samples of Some Iranian Subjects Using 16SrRNA Gene Sequence Analysis and PCR-based Gene Specific Primers

For the first time in Iran 40 strains of Bifidobacterium were isolated from feces of Iranian subjects. By using phenotypic tests, 18 isolates were identified as Bifidobacterium longum, 10 as Bifidobacterium bifidum and one as Bifidobacterium catenolatum. In order to validate these results and also to identify other isolates that had not been identified by phenotypic tests, two methods of PCR wi...

Optimal Eukaryotic 18S and Universal 16S/18S Ribosomal RNA Primers and Their Application in a Study of Symbiosis

Eukaryotic 18S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene primers that feature a wide coverage are critical in detecting the composition of eukaryotic microscopic organisms in ecosystems. Here, we predicted 18S rRNA primers based on consecutive conserved sites and evaluated their coverage efficiency and scope of application to different eukaryotic groups. After evaluation, eight of them were considered as quali...
