Introduction: Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) is a zoonotic viral infection transmitted mainly via CCHF virus-infected ticks between vertebrate hosts. The disease occurs in almost all provinces of Iran. This study investigated the CCHFV infection in hard ticks collected from livestock in the Sistan region of Sistan and Baluchestan Province, southeast of Iran. Methods: In this study, tick...

several models have been developed to estimate land degradation rate and evaluate desertification severity. this study attempts to apply the medalus (mediterranean desertification and land use) model by considering existing conditions in the hamoun wetland, located in south-eastern iran. at first identification of the main factors affecting the desertification phenomenon was attempted, based on...

present study determines not only the total amounts of metals (cr, cu and pb) in superficial agricultural soil of sistan area in eastern iran, but also the chemical partitioning of these elements in seven statistically selected cases. the analysis was run for local soil, soil treated by non-contaminated organic, compost and chemical fertilizers as well as soil treated by metal-contaminated fert...

In this paper the spectrum of barotropic basin modes of the Argentine Basin is shown to be connected to the classical Rossby basin modes of a flat-bottom (constant depth), rectangular basin. First, the spectrum of basin modes is calculated for the Argentine Basin, by performing a normal-mode analysis of the barotropic shallow-water equations. Then a homotopy transformation is performed that gra...

Dust is one of the atmospheric pollutants that have adverse environmental effects and consequences. fall contains particles 100 microns or even smaller ones, which from atmosphere onto earth surface. The aim this study to determine concentration lead in dust samples order pollution level element Zahedan, Sistan Baluchistan Province, Iran. Therefore, sampling was carried out using 30 marble coll...
