During 2001-2002, a total number of 164 soil-root samples were collected from citrus orchards of six provinces, namely, Fars, Gilan, Mazandaran, Kerman, Hormozgan and Sistan va Baloochestan. Soil samples were decanted and centrifuged and spores were collected and examined. Out of 23 identified species, five species were recognized new to Iran mycoflora. New species are as follows: Gomus albidum...

the purpose of this study was to evaluate three models of artificial neural networks (ann), regression trees (m5) and hargrives-samani (hg) in estimation of reference evapotranspiration. for this purpose was used climate information of sistan va baloochestan, kerman, yazd and khorasan jonoobi from 1998 to 2008. in addition to effect of wind (u) on evapotranspiration (et0), estimation of et0 was...

BACKGROUND Although camels represent a valuable source of food, wool and hide in many countries, in-depth information about their vector-borne pathogens is scarce compared to other animals. The aim of the current study was to characterize vector-borne protozoa in the blood of dromedaries from Iran by molecular tools. METHODS From June to July 2014, 200 peripheral blood samples were collected ...

In several reports a close relationship between lichen planus and chronic viral hepatitis has been demonstrated. According to the high prevalence of hepatitis B in communities like Iran and especially in Sistan-va-Baloochestan, a prospective study was performed for screening HBV markers in patients suffering lichen planus to detect the prevalence of HBsAg positive cases in them, comparing with ...

since 1999, many cases of crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever have been reported from different parts of iran. this study intended to define cchf seroprevalence, incidence rates, and the most important risks in sistan- baluchestan province, iran. using cluster sampling with probability proportional to size, 310 subjects were selected from various districts of zahedan and zabol in the northern part ...

abstract the objectives of this study were to identify the strengths (s), weaknesses (w), opportunities (o) and threats (t) in producing milk in the province of sistan and baluchestan . furthermore, the study attempted at developing strategies towards effective management of in the milk production. under the current situation, the study data was collected using questionnaires responded by three...

abstract in this paper, we modeled the climate of iran for future periods. each period is a 30-years period centered on a year. the range of periods is from 2000 (i.e., 1986-2015) to 2100 (i.e., 2086-2115). this was made using 2 general circulation models (echam4 and hadcm2) and 18 ipcc scenarios. magicc-scengen was used as a tool for downscaling gcm low resolution output data. result of hadcm2...

background: although camels represent a valuable source of food, wool and hide in many countries, in-depth information about their vector-borne pathogens is scarce compared to other animals. the aim of the current study was to characterize vector-borne protozoa in the blood of dromedaries from iran by molecular tools. methods: from june to july 2014, 200 peripheral blood samples were collected ...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have revealed significant differences between populations for genotypic frequencies of glutathione S-transferase T1 (GSTT1) and M1 (GSTM1) polymorphisms. In order to find the frequency of the null genotypes of GSTM1 and GSTT1 in Iranian populations, the present study was carried out. METHODS The total study subjects consisted of 1340 unrelated healthy Muslims/Irani...
