BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES In the well-known zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (ZCL) focus in Turkmen Sahara, border of Iran and Turkmenistan, ZCL has increased among humans in the past five years. The present study was undertaken to incriminate vectors of ZCL in the region, and to find molecular variation in Leishmania parasites. METHODS The sandflies were sampled using CDC light-traps and stick...

following annual report of new cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis from different areas of kuhpayeh district, esfahan county, an investigation was carried out on some ecological aspects of phlebotomine sand flies during 2000-2002. sand flies were collected biweekly from outdoor and indoor resting places with the aid of 30 sticky traps from the be ginning to the end of the active season. female san...

The Parsley frog is represented by single species from Anatolia which called Pelodytes caucasicus. This categorized as a near threatened in the conservation list and has very limited distribution along North East Black Sea its populations have been poorly studied. In this study, we analyzed morphological variation of 59 specimens different localities (Artvin; Karagöl, Rize; Çat Trabzon; Hıdırne...
