[ 1 ] - Molecular detection of Toxoplasma gondii infection in aborted fetuses in sheep in Khorasan Razavi province, Iran
Background: Toxoplasma gondii is a significant cause of abortion in sheep and goats in the world. Toxoplasmosis is caused reproduction disorders such as fetal resorption, early embryonic death, mummification, abortion, stillbirth, neonatal and fetal death in sheep . Objectives: The aim of this study was to detect T. gondii infection in ovine aborted fetuses in Khorasan Razavi province. Methods:...
[ 2 ] - Antioxidant and anticoccidial effects of garlic powder and sulfur amino acids on Eimeria-infected and uninfected broiler chickens
To study the anticoccidial and antioxidant effects of garlic powder (GP) and total sulfur amino acid (TSAA) on growth performance, faecal oocyst output, oxidative stress indicators and antioxidant status markers in broiler chickens, a 2 × 2 × 2 splitplot-factorial arrangement of treatments was used. A total of 480-day-old male broiler chickens were equally assigned to two plots. Two hundred for...
[ 3 ] - Antibody response against hydatid fluid, protoscolex and whole body of Echinococcus granulosus antigens in lambs
In this study, the immunogenicity of three types of antigens (hydatid fluid, protoscolices and whole body of E. granulosus) was investigated in lambs by ELISA. Sixteen 4–6-month-old lambs of mixed sexes were divided into 4 groups of 4 lambs (three immunized and one control group). Twelve lambs as immunized groups received 2 mg of hydatid fluid, protoscolices and whole body of E. granulosus ant...
[ 4 ] - Evaluation of Echinococcus granulosus coproantigens by Dot-blotting in dogs
Definitive hosts of the Echinococcus granulosus (E. granulosus ) parasite are carnivores such as dogs,wolves and foxes. Detection of this parasite through faecal examination is not possible. In this study, dotblotting test for E. granulosus -specific coproantigens has been evaluated in dog. Three 2–3-month-old puppies were treated with piperazine and then faecal samples were collected as pre-in...
[ 5 ] - Immunization of rabbits against Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum using larval and nymphal extracts
The protective capacity of the crude extracts from larval and nymphal stages of Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum was examined in the New Zealand white rabbits. The rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups of five animals. The rabbits in groups 1 and 2 were immunized with crude extracts of larval and nymphal antigens, respectively and group 3 was served as control. Following challenge of each r...
[ 6 ] - Detection of midgut antigens of Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum tick using SDS-PAGE and Western blot
Ticks are important ectoparasites which are a considerable threat to human beings and to animals all overthe world. Enormous economic losses annually occur in livestock production around the world as a result oftheir existance. One of the ways to control ticks and tick-borne diseases is to introduce resistance to theseectoparasites through immunization. For identification of the putative protec...
[ 7 ] - First report of the Hadjelia truncata infestation in pigeons of Iran
Three adult pigeons (Columbia livia) belonging to a pigeon farm in Mashhad area were submitted toPoultry Clinic of School of Veterinary Medicine for post-mortem inspection. The farm had 150 adult pigeonsand a number of them suffered from a chronic disease with body weight loss, diarrhoea and weakness. Atnecropsy, slight to extreme enlargement with distortion were observed in gizzards of all car...
[ 8 ] - Immunization of lambs with whole body Echinococcus granulosus
We conducted this study to determine the level of immunity after vaccination of lambs with whole bodyEchinococcus granulosus. To do so, 200 mature E. granulosus parasites, which were kept in 10% formalinefor 8 months, were obtained from the Department of Parasitology, School of Veterinary Medicine, FerdowsiUniversity of Mashhad. The soluble protein of the parasite was prepared. The sample was h...
