Dematophytosis in domestic animals constitutes a constant source of infection for persons in contact with them. To have an epidemiological picture of zoophilic dermatophyte infections in Iran, a study has been carried out during a period of three years (1986-1989) in an attempt to find the causative dermatophytes which infect cats and cattle and also infected human subjects in contact with ...

This experimental study was carried out to induce a co-infection of H9 AIV and IBV with inoculumsprepared from tracheal scrubbed epithelium tissues in natural co-infected birds to rule out the effect of fieldundesired environmental conditions and also other infectious causative agents. Eighty 1-day-old broilerswere randomly divided into four equal groups. At 21 days of age, three test groups we...

The objective of the present study was to compare the efficacy of conventional and extendedintramammary (IMM) therapy of persistent subclinical mastitis in lactating dairy cattle using nafcillinpenicillin-dihydrostreptomycin combination (NPD). Sixty-five dairy cows with 126 infected quarters were enrolled in the study. Infected cows were allocated randomly to 1 of 3 different treatment regimens...
