[ 1 ] - Evaluation of a Novel Herbal Immunomodulator Drug (IMOD) in Treatment of Experimental Canine Visceral leishmaniasis
Toxicity and drug resistance against pentavalent antimonials, medications of choice in treatment of leishmaniasis for more than 5 decades, have become important subjects globally. This study was a randomized, open labeled trial that was designed to determine efficacy and safety of IMOD as a novel herbal immunomodulator drug for treatment of canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL).Twenty healthy mon...
[ 2 ] - The Effect of Otostegia persica in Combination with Chloroquine on Chloroquine-Sensitive and Chloroquine-Resistant Strains of Plasmodium berghei Using In-vivo Fixed Ratios Method
Malaria is one of the worldwide parasitic diseases which threaten the life of hundreds of millions of people at the malarious areas each year. The emergence of chloroquine-resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum in most of the malarious areas has encountered the relevant countries with some difficulties about treating the acute cases of the disease particulary if the monotherapy regimen h...

[ 5 ] - A Comparison Study between Parasitological and Molecular Methods for Diagnosis of Acute and Chronic Anthroponotic Cutaneous Leishmaniasis
Introduction: Anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) is still a major public health problem in the northeast and central parts of Iran. This study was designed to compare microscopy and cultivation methods with PCR amplification of kinetoplast DNA and ITS1 followed by RFLP analysis for diagnosis of acute and chronic ACL. Methods: In this study, 66 patients with ACL including 24 acute and 4...
[ 6 ] - Immunization against Leishmania major infection in BALB/c mice using a subunit-based DNA vaccine derived from TSA, LmSTI1, KMP11, and LACK predominant antigens
Objective(s): To design a multivalent DNA vaccine encoding the most immunogenic regions of the Leishmania major antigens including TSA (Thiol-specific antioxidant protein), LmSTI1 (Leishmania major stress-inducible protein1), LACK (Leishmania homologue of receptors for activated C Kinase), and KMP11 (kinetoplastid membrane protein-11) on BALB/c mice.M...
[ 7 ] - بررسی سرواپیدمیولوژی لیشمانیازیس احشایی در سگ‌های بی صاحب استان البرز
لیشمانیازیس احشایی(کالازار) یک بیماری تب‌دار عفونی انگلی است که در صورت عدم تشخیص و درمان به موقع سبب مرگ و میر در کودکان مبتلا و سگ سانان مخزن خواهد گردید. با مراجعه به محل جمع‌آوری و نگهداری سگ‌های بی‌صاحب کرج و منطقه کوهسار و کردان از سگ‌های ولگرد خون‌گیری به عمل آمده و کلیه مشخصات اپیدمیولوژیکی حیوان ثبت گردید. نمونه‌های خون به آزمایشگاه انتقال داده شده و پس از جداسازی سرم‌ها، با استفاده از...
[ 8 ] - Determination of the Effective Dose of Curcumin alone and in Combination with Antimicrobial Peptide CM11 on Promastigote Forms of Iranian Strain of L. major (MRHO / IR / 75 / ER)
Zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis t caused by Leishmania major is spread in focal areas of more than 90 countries in the tropics, subtropics, and southern Europe. In the absence of any effective vaccine, the only means to treat and control leishmaniasis is conventional medication. Glucantime is the first choice of anti-leishmanialdrug, has serious side effects like high toxicity, exorbi...
