ABSTRACT: Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies are neurodegenerative diseases that affect several mammalian species. Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is among the mentioned diseases in cattle caused by abnormally fold prion proteins. Polymorphisms of the prion protein gene (PRNP) have been shown to be major determinations for the susceptibility to transmitted perion diseases in human...

This paper investigates the usage and frequency of what is referred to as K-suffixes in three Balochi dialects, namely Koroshi, Coastal Sistani Balochi. It shows that are most likely reflexes earlier evaluative morphology, traditionally termed “diminutives,” characterized by a high degree multi-functionality. While functions continue dominate, they have been largely lost Koroshi Balochi, suffix...

Abstract This paper discusses discourse features such as tail-head linkage and repetition, development devices, associative strategies subordination in oral narrative texts the Koroshi (KoB), Sistani (SiB), Coastal (CoB) dialects of Balochi, all which belong to North-West branch Iranian language family. The frequency with these vary dialect, variation can be attributed different stages orality....

the aim of this study was to analyze the polymorphisms existing in the 5´ flanking region, exonic, and some parts of the intronic regions as well as methylation analysis of the ednrb gene in cattle and goat. these regions were sequenced in three different breeds of cattle including sistani, golpayegani, and holstein and were compared with that of marghoz goat. the results identified that this g...

Neosporosis is caused by the protozoan parasite, Neospora caninum which is major cause of fatal disease and abortion in cattle in Iran and in many countries. The economic impacts of neosporosis are lost milk, meat and abortions in cattle. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the presence of N. caninum DNA in fresh and frozen semen samples of Iranian bulls that were used for artifici...

The role of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in the immune response makes it an attractive candidate gene for associations with disease resistance and susceptibility. This study describes genetic variability in the BoLA-DRB3 in Iranian buffaloes. Heminested PCR-RFLP method was used to identify the frequency of BoLA-DRB3 alleles. The BoLA-DRB3 locus is highly polymorphic in the study h...

Chlamydial organisms are members of an exclusive order, Chlamydiales and family Chlamydiaceae. Chlamydia psittaci is a bacterium that causes psittacosis in humans and ornithosis, pneumonitis, abortion, encephalomyelitis, and enteritis in various animals. The purpose of this study was to determination of abortion rate caused by C. psittaci in Iranian cattle using PCR method. DNA was extracted fr...

this article provides an overview of natural phonological processes in the dialect of sistani persian spoken in iranian sistan, and reviews theoretical implications of these processes. a representative selection of processes in the language is examined in reference to conditioning by surrounding segments and conditioning in reference to syllable structure. while assimilation and dissimilation a...
