Molecular detection of Ehrlichia spp. in blood samples of dogs in southern Iran using polymerase chain reaction

Detection of Plasmodium falciparum Directly from Blood Samples Using the Polymerase Chain Reaction

Molecular detection of Pneumocystis jirovecii using polymerase chain reaction in immunocompromised patients with pulmonary disorders in northeast of Iran

Background and Purpose: Pneumocystis pneumonia, caused by Pneumocystis jirovecii, is a fatal disease threatening patients with AIDS or immunosuppression. Assessment of colonization in these patients is of great significance, since it can lead to severe pulmonary disorders. Considering the scarcity of published reports on Pneumocystis jirovecii isolates from patients in Mashhad, Iran, we aimed t...

Detection of Babesia ovis Using Polymerase Chain Reaction.

Detection of single Dactylogyrus spp. in DNA extracted from infected gill tissue of fishes using Polymerase Chain Reaction

Dactylogyrus spp. are monogenean worms found mostly as ectoparasites on the gills of several fish species, including carp and goldfish. These parasites are commonly detected by microscopic analysis of the gill lamellae, but this is time-consuming and technically difficult. In contrast to this conventional method, molecular techniques provide specific, sensitive and safe detection of parasites. ...

Detection of Mycobacterium Paratuberculosis using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in cow raw milk samples in shahre-kord

Abstract Background and objectives: Paratuberculosis or John's disease is a chronic infectious disease of ruminants caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP). It results in major economic losses to dairy farm of all over the world and it is the agent causing crohn's disease. The aim of this study was to detect the MAP using PCR in raw-milk samples of cows in shahre-kord. Mater...
