Information on the occurrence, diversity and economic losses due to Eimeria infection on cattle farms is lacking in Western Iran. The principal aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and diversity of Eimeria species in cattle in Hamedan province, Western Iran. In a cross-sectional study performed from June 2010 to April 2013, 400 faecal samples were collected randomly from animals wi...

Malaria complicating kala-azar That malaria may complicate kala-azar was recognized by the early workers on kala-azar in this country. Napier (1927) remarked that plasmodial and leishmanial infection must copyist in t.^e same r^fip-nt verv froouent.lv. but the occasions on which both parasites would be found in the same film of either peripheral blood or spleen puncture material were few. Malar...

*Correspondence: [email protected] Department of Mathematics, Islamic Azad University, Hamedan Branch, Hamedan, Iran Abstract In this paper, an effective numerical method to solve the Cauchy type singular Fredholm integral equations (CSFIEs) of the first kind is proposed. The collocation technique based on Bernstein polynomials is used for approximation the solution of various cases of CSFIE...

Kala-azar has re-emerged from near eradication. The annual estimate for the incidence and prevalence of kala-azar cases worldwide is 0.5 million and 2.5 million, respectively. Of these, 90% of the confirmed cases occur in India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sudan. In India, it is a serious problem in Bihar, West Bengal and eastern Uttar Pradesh where there is under-reporting of kala-azar and post kala...

Our experience with kala-azar among children is limited to that of two proviryces of North China, Hopei and Slantung, and covers the years 1921 to 1930 inclusive. The cases admitted to our service entered through our regular clinic in the city, as we have not attempted to handle these cases in the outlying endemic village districts. We recently had in the clinic at one time a case of chronic ma...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Definitive diagnosis of kala-azar requires demonstration of parasites by diagnostic protocols based on invasive organ aspirations. We evaluated in the present study the diagnostic utility of an immunochromatographic test (ICT) for detection of anti- rK-39 antibodies for the non-invasive diagnosis of kala-azar and post kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL) at a tertiary ca...

BACKGROUND Visceral leishmaniasis, commonly known as kala-azar in India, is a global public health problem. In Southeast Asia, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Thailand are endemic for visceral leishmaniasis. The role of sandflies as the vector of kala-azar was first confirmed in 1942 in India. Insecticide resistance in Phlebotomus argentipes Annandale and Brunetti, the vector of...

azar patient has led to certain statements on the possibilities of the urine being the transmitting medium of the infection of kala-azar, which are obviously absurd and which were certainly not suggested by Shortt himself. Both writers have been interested in the possibilities of urine being the transmitting medium of the infection of kala-azar and with this possibility in view made an effort last

The aim of the current investigation was to determine the seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection in ewes and that role in abortion from Hamedan province, western Iran. 360 blood samples from ewes with recent abortion history and 148 samples from sheep with no abortion history (total=508) from different rural regions of Hamedan province were evaluated for the presence of IgG-antibodies ag...
