biosystematic study of calomyscus mystax (rodentia, calomyscidae) from north eastern iran
Authors
abstract
calomyscus mystax is endemic to great balkhan mountains in southwestern turkmenistan. however there have been some inaccurate reports of existing this species in koprtdagh mts. and northern iran, but these were considered as calomyscus elburzensis and calomyscus grandis. phylogenetic analyses on cytb gene clustered samples from kopetdagh mts. in northeastern iran with one specimen of c. mystax belong to turkmenistan, and so confirmed them as conspecific. therefore known range of c. mystax has been extended to more southern regions. morphometric and geometric-morphometric analyses described some cranium and dental characters which distinguished individuals of c. mystax in north east of iran and north khorasan province, in comparison to other analyzed samples from other calomyscus species.

Rodent species have active role in transmission of serious pathogens and are reservoir for many zoonotic diseases, so their ectoparasitic fauna become of special concern. A survey of ectoparasites occurring on Calomyscus elburzensis was carried out from April through September 2014 in Khaje Morada rocky hillsides region situated in the southeast of Mashhad, Iran. A total of 48 Goodwin’s brush-t...

BACKGROUND Human cystic echinococcosis (hydatidosis) continues to be an essential cause of morbidity and mortality in many parts of the world. METHODS We studied hydatid cyst pattern in hospitalized adult patients from 2003 to 2012 in Mashhad and Neyshabour, northeast of Iran. RESULTS Overall, 1342 patients, 711 females (53%) and 631 males (47%) diagnosed as infected with hydatid cyst were ...
