Treatment of Leishmaniasis which is endemic in 97 conutries around the world is important and is ranked 7th among research priority of WHO. As the number of resistant types to glucantim (drug of choice) is increasing, investigation on the effect of other drugs like allopurinol seems essential. In this survey, we cultured L-Major ASKH5 promatigotes in different media containing glucantim with co...

the possibility of occurrence of some rearrangements inside and or around coxii and atp6 genes and their relationship with male sterility in rice lines having wild abortive (wa)  cytoplasm was studied. two sterile (ir58025a and ir62829a) and two maintainer lines (ir58025b and ir62829b) were used. radioactive southern blotting was employed to carry out the experiments. the hybridization of coxii...

wild almond (amygdalus scoparia) is one of the most important species that provides a variety of ecological functions in the zagros forest ecosystem. in this study, we investigated the effects of some seed treatments on the survival and growth of amygdalus scoparia after seed planting at different aspects and elevations under natural conditions. the seed pretreatments consisted in soaking them ...

genetic variations within the species of agropyron desertorum and 2 varieties of a. cristatum subsp. pectinatum var. imbricatum and a. cristatum subsp. pectinatum var. pectinatum were studied using morphological traits and total protein profiles (with sodium dodecylsulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis). an experiment was conducted in research institute of forests and rangelands (2012-201...

salmonella spp. are zoonotic enteric bacteria able to infect humans, livestock and wildlife. the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of salmonella (spp.) and to determine antibiotic susceptibility, serogrouping and presence of inva gene (salmonella invasion gene a) in the detected strains in wild captive herbivores in iran. the fecal samples of 103 animals from 8 different sp...

background leptospirosis is an important zoonotic disease caused by pathogenic leptospira which can infect both humans and animals. this disease is caused by various serovars of leptospira interrogans sensu lato infection. rats are known to be one of the most important reservoirs and transmission sources of leptospirosis. however, the status of leptospirosis in wild rats has been unknown in man...

in order to study the effect of nitrogen on competition between wild oat (avena fatua) and wheat (triticum aestivum) at vegetative growth stage, a factorial experiment was conducted based on completely randomized block design with three replications in research greenhouse of faculty of agriculture, at ferdowsi university of mashhad in 2008. first factor was five densities (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 plan...

the p53 protein function is essential for the maintenance of the nontumorigenic cell phenotype. pancreatic tumor cells show a very high frequency of p53 mutation. to determine if restoration of wild type p53 function can be used to eliminate the tumorigenic phenotype in these cells, pancreatic tumor cell lines, panc-1 and htb80, differing in p53 status were stably transfected with exogenous wil...

to investigate the effect of dose and applying time of paraquat on soybean weed control, especially wild melon, factorial experiment conducted as a randomized complete block design with four replications in 2009 in dashte naz co. sari-iran. the treatments included different doses of paraquat (0, 1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5 liters per hectare of commercial material) and different growing stages of wild me...
