A general theory of avian migratory connectivity

Serological Monitoring of Avian Influenza in Migratory Birds of Iran

  Although migratory waterfowl is well known to be a major reservoir for avian influenza virus (AIV), there are only few recently published reports about the seroprevalence of AIV in this group of birds. To investigate the AIV antibody status in migratory waterfowl of Iran, we collected 217 serum samples from 25 different species of waterfowl during 2003 and 2004. These serum samples were teste...

A quantitative measure of migratory connectivity.

The study of the extent of the connection between areas where populations of birds breed and areas where they winter has flourished in recent years mainly thanks to the development of new techniques, but also due to traditional ringing and recovery schemes, which allow tracking of individuals or populations linking wintering and breeding distributions. Currently, studies on migratory connectivi...

A Case Report of Visceral Migratory Larvae

Dogs and wild canidae in Iran are highly infected with Toxocaria­sis  This and the poor hygienic conditions ruling in rural regions  let to expect the visceral larva migrans to be an entity of high incidence in this-country. Therefore, Patients Presenting with hepatomegaly, fever, leucocytosis and eosinophilia-specially when originating from villages-have to be surveyed for this syndrome. An ef...
