The advanced bioinformatics technologies are accepted for usefulness in medicine and public health. It can be useful for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease. The neuroinformatics is a specific subject of bioinformatics dealing with omics technology for neurology. Several new software and computation tools are developed for serving as databases as well as simulation tools in neuroinfo...

Human toxocariasis is a helminthic zoonosis caused by larval stages of Toxocara canis and, less frequently, by T. cati, the roundworms of dogs and cats, respectively. Accidentally, humans ingest embryonated eggs containing the infective larva which are released in the upper small intestine and then pass through the intestinal epithelium to reach the blood vessels, where they can migrate to the ...

Mongolian gerbils and Wistar rats were inoculated orally with 240 and 2,500 Toxocara cati embryonated eggs, respectively, to evaluate the larval recovery in different tissues and organs, such as the liver, lungs, heart, kidney, and skeletal muscles after 5, 30, 49, 70, and 92 days post-infection (PI). Larval recovery rates were 1.7-30.0% in Mongolian gerbils on days 5-92 PI and 0.2-3.8% in rats...

This study aims at molecular identification of Salmonella Infantis isolated from backyard chickens and the detection of their antibiotic resistance genes. A total of 46 Salmonella-suspected samples isolated from backyard chickens of northern Iran were collected. Serotyping was done by the traditional method and then confirmed by PCR. Antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates against 13 antim...
