BRUCELLOSIS IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ZOONOTIC DISEASE THAT HAVE TWO FORMS INCLUDING OCCUPATIONAL AND FOOD INFECTION AND IT IS IMPORTANT DUE TO ECONOMIC AND PUBLIC HEALTH ASPECTS. THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY IS EVALUATION OF EPIDEMIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF DISEASE IN SHAHREKORD CITY DURING A PERIOD OF 5 YEARS (1390-1394). …

A ZOONOSIS IS AN ANIMAL DISEASE THAT IS TRANSMISSIBLE TO HUMANS. HUMANS ARE USUALLY AN ACCIDENTAL HOST THAT ACQUIRES DISEASE THROUGH CLOSE CONTACT WITH AN INFECTED ANIMAL, WHO MAY OR MAY NOT BE SYMPTOMATIC. CHILDREN ARE AT HIGHEST RISK FOR INFECTION BECAUSE THEY ARE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE CLOSE CONTACT WITH PETS. …

ECHINOCOCCOSIS IS A PARASITIC DISEASE WITH WORLDWIDE DISTRIBUTION WHICH IS CAUSED BY THE TAPEWORMS ECHINOCOCCUS GRANULOSUS. DIAGNOSIS OF THE DISEASE RELIES ON IMAGING TECHNIQUES, BUT THE TECHNIQUES ARE NOT ABLE TO DIFFERENTIATE THE CYST FROM BENIGN OR MALIGNANT TUMORS; HENCE, APPROPRIATE SEROLOGIC METHODS ARE REQUIRED FOR THE DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS OF THE INFECTION. IN THIS INVESTIGATION, DIFFERENT SHEEP HYDATID CYST ANTIGENS PROBED WITH THIRTY SERA OF PATIENTS WITH HYDATID CYST AND ALSO THIRTY HUMAN NORMAL SERA USING WESTERN IMMUNOBLOTTING TECHNIQUE. …

THE INFECTION OF FOOD ANIMALS TO HYDATID CYST IS A CONCERN FROM ECONOMIC AND PUBLIC HEALTH STAND POINTS. HYDATIDOSIS CAUSED BY ECHINOCOCCUS GRANULOSUS IS STILL AN IMPORTANT PUBLIC HEALTH AND ECONOMIC PROBLEM IN MANY REGIONS OF THE WORLD, ESPECIALLY IN COUNTRIES WITH INSUFFICIENT HYGIENIC M ANAGEMENT SYSTEM. …

INTRODUCTION: SOIL CONTAMINATION WITH PARASITES AS A SERIOUS RISK FOR PARASITIC INFECTIONS IN HUMANS AND ANIMALS. MANY STUDIES CARRIED OUT ON FREQUENCY OF PARASITES IN SOIL SAMPLES IN SEVERAL PARTS OF THE WORLD. HOWEVER, THERE IS A FEW EPIDEMIOLOGICAL DATA ABOUT THE PREVALENCE OF PARASITES IN SOIL SAMPLES FROM VARIOUS REGIONS OF IRAN. …

RABIES IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ZOONOTIC VIRAL DISEASES THAT IF SYMPTOMS OCCUR, THE PATIENT'S DEATH IS IMMINENT. ACCORDING TO PREVIOUS EPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUDIES, CHAHARMAHAL AND BAKHTIARI PROVINCE IS A MODERATE CONTAMINATED AREA IN TERMS OF DISTRIBUTION OF BITE. …

TOXOPLASMOSIS IS AN ENDEMIC DISEASE WORLDWIDE AND A MAJOR PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERN FOR HUMANS AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS. IT IS CAUSED BY THE PARASITIC PROTOZOAN TOXOPLASMA GONDII. CATS AND WILD FELIDAE PLAY A CRUCIAL ROLE IN THE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF THIS DISEASE; THEY ARE THE ONLY DEFINITIVE HOSTS AND ARE THEREFORE THE ONLY ONES TO SHED OOCYSTS IN THEIR FAECES. …

THIS STUDY ASSESSED THE SERO-PREVALENCE OF BRUCELLOSIS AND ITS RISK FACTORS AMONG MIGRATORY NOMADS IN THE FARS PROVINCE OF IRAN. ACTIVE BRUCELLOSIS WAS DEFINED AS THE COMBINATION OF CLINICAL SYMPTOMS, INCLUDING FEVER, CHILLS, NIGHT SWEATS, HEADACHE, LOW BACK PAIN, ARTHRALGIA, OR MYALGIA, AND POSITIVE LABORATORY TESTING, INCLUDING EITHER A SERUM AGGLUTINATION TEST (SAT) ³1:80 WITH A 2-MERCAPTOETHANOL (2ME) ³1:40, OR A SAT <1:80 COMBINED WITH A POSITIVE COOMBS WRIGHT TEST (CWT) AT A TITRE OF AT LEAST 3-FOLD HIGHER THAN SAT TITRE RESULTS. …

LEISHMANIASIS IS AN INFECTION CAUSED BY VARIOUS SPECIES OF LEISHMANIA PROTOZOA, WHICH ARE USUALLY TRANSMITTED BYTHE BITE OF VARIOUS SPECIES OF PHLEBOTOMINE SANDFLIES. CUTANEOUS LEISHMANIASIS CAUSED BY LEISHMANIA TROPICA IS ENDEMIC IN IRAN, BEING THE SECOND MOST PREVALENT VECTOR-BORNE DISEASE IN THE COUNTRY (AFTER MALARIA), IT PRESENTS IN TWO FORMS OF ANTHROPONOTIC CL (ACL) AND ZOONOTIC CL (ZCL). …

HYDATIDOSIS, CAUSED BY ECHINOCOCCUS GRANULOSUS IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ZOONOTIC DISEASES, THROUGHOUT MOST PARTS OF THE WORLD. HYDATIDOSIS IS ENDEMIC IN IRAN AND RESPONSIBLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 1% OF ADMISSION TO SURGICAL WARDS. …
