this investigation was carried out to determine the prevalence of eimeria infections and the diversity of eimeria species in camels of tabriz region. the prevalence of eimeria spp. infection and the intensity of faecal oocysts were determined in 164 camels using floatation and sporulation techniques. faeces of 34 camels (20.73%) were infected with four eimeria species including e. bactriani (52...

Bacterial whole genome sequencing offers the prospect of rapid and high precision investigation of infectious disease outbreaks. Close genetic relationships between microorganisms isolated from different infected cases suggest transmission is a strong possibility, whereas transmission between cases with genetically distinct bacterial isolates can be excluded. However, undetected mixed infection...

BACKGROUND Infection with human parvovirus B19 (B19) has been reported in a few patients with various vasculitis syndromes. Mixed cryoglobulinaemia (MC), a model of small vessel size vasculitis, may result from numerous infectious diseases, particularly hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. AIM To assess the prevalence of seric B19 infection markers in a large series of patients with MC, with or...

Sarcocystis is one of the most prevalent parasites of domestic ruminants worldwide. This study was aimed to determine prevalence of Sarcocystis infection and molecular discrimination of Sarcocystis gigantea and Sarcocystis medusiformis infecting domestic sheep. Tissue samples from 638 sheep slaughtered at Urmia abattoir were randomly collected from February 2011 to January 2012. Genomic DNA ext...
