[ 1 ] - Effects of long-term calcium deficiency on the electro-and echocardiography in laying hens

Background: Ca is the most important minerals in the body that plays a key rols in the physiological activities, anzymatic reaction and the regulation of myocardial contraction and relax-ation. Ca deficiency causes the heart failure and decrease cardiac contractility. OBJECTIVES: To determine the effects of long-term dietary calcium deficiency on the heart function of layer hens based on the el...

[ 2 ] - Evaluation of an immunoblotting test based on whole tachyzoite lysate for diagnosis of humoral response of domestic cats infected with Toxoplasma gondii, Rh strain

 This study was aimed to detect anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in cats infected with Rh strain of T. gondii by using an immunoblotting method. For this, cats were experimentally infected using tachyzoites harvested from Vero cell cultures. Tachyzoites were then lysed and transferred to polyacrylamide gels followed by blotting to PVDF membranes. An immunoblotting was performed using these mem...

[ 3 ] - Assessment of avian osteoporosis by a quantitative radiographic method

The aim of this study was to develop a quantitative radiographic method for assessment of experimentalosteoporosis in Leghorn breed laying hens. Three groups of 24 Leghorn pullets were reared in cage and fed aration containing different calcium levels, including 3.55, 2.075 and 0.6 percent (for groups 1-3, respectively). The hens were fed this diet from 17 weeks of age to the end of the experim...

[ 4 ] - Seroprevalence of canine visceral leishmaniasis in asymptomatic dogs in Iran

Clinically infected dogs have been identified as the main reservoir hosts of visceral leishmaniasis (VL)caused by Leishmania infantum. Recently asymptomatic infected dogs were regarded to be as important asclinically ill dogs. This study was aimed to determine the seroprevalence of L. infantum infection amongasymptomatic dogs in the southwest and central parts of Iran and to investigate possibl...

[ 5 ] - Seroprevalence of Neospora caninum and Toxoplasma gondii infection in dogs from west and central parts of Iran using two indirect ELISA tests and assessment of associate risk factors

To determine the seroprevalence of anti-Neospora caninum and anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies indogs in Iran and to investigate related risk factors to the infection, a study was conducted in Chaharmahal vaBakhtiari, Isfahan and Khoozestan provinces, locate in west central parts of Iran. For this, 548 serum samples were collected from dogs during an 18 month period from July 2007 to February 2...
