abstract

the polymerase chain reaction (pcr) was used to amplify a 578 bp fragment of the poxvirus 4b core protein. avipoxvirus (apv) specific dna was detected in all 10 different isolates (each of which had been isolated from an epidemic) isolated from chicken; canary and mynah were collected from tehran province. sequencing was performed for 2 isolates as representative and the nucleotide sequence showed a similarity of 71-100% with the other sequences in the genbank. the derived phylogenetic tree showed six distinguishable sequence clusters. the sequence analysis reveals that the iranian isolates are within the cluster with highly conserved p4b core protein in different countries and species of birds. concerning the distance between countries which is the origin of the studied isolates that are situated in the same cluster with our iranian isolates, nearly the same identity (95-99%) of isolates in this cluster exist, and so potential of infectivity of the isolates in several species and regions, and the import and export of birds from all over the world can likely spread the virus to other countries. hence, strict quarantine measures should be  considered in the entrances of every country. moreover, this is the first molecular study in avipoxviruses in iran, especially in exotic birds.

Phylogenetic analysis of Escherichia coli strains isolated from human samples

Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a normal inhabitant of the gastrointestinal tract of vertebrates, including humans. Phylogenetic analysis has shown that E. coli is composed of four main phylogenetic groups (A, B1, B2 and D). Group A and B1 are generally associated with commensals, whereas group B2 is associated with extra-intestinal pathotypes. Most enteropathogenic isolates, however, are assigne...

Molecular detection and phylogenetic analysis of Mycoplasma gallisepticum from backyard and commercial turkey flocks in Iran

Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) is economically important pathogen of poultry causes airsacculitis and frequently infraorbital sinusitis in turkeys. Infections may remain without clinical signs, but they can make birds susceptible to secondary infections.This study was carried out for molecular detection and phylogenetic analysis of MG infections in commercial and backyard turkey flocks ...

Molecular Detection of Lipase A gene in Putative Bacillus subtilis Strains Isolated from Soil

The present study was undertaken to screen the soil samples collected in Iran for the presence of the Bacillus subtilis lipase A gene. The bacterial colonies obtained from the collected soil samples were examined by physical appearance, biochemical tests and  the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Only four colonies were identified as putative B. subtilis strains and all contained the lipase A ge...

Phylogenetic typing and molecular detection of virulence factors of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli isolated from colibacillosis cases in Japanese quail

Colibacillosis caused by avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) is an economic threat to the poultry industry throughout the world. Some of the virulence genes may enhance the ability of E. coli isolates to grow in the tissues of broilers. The APEC strains are assigned to a few distinct phylogenetic groups. The purpose of the present study was to detect the virulence genes a...
