BACKGROUND Zoonotic Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (ZCL) is an endemic health problem in many rural areas of Iran, with doubled number of incidences over the last decade. Different species of rodents serve as natural reservoir host for ZCL. The disease is considered as a major health problem in rural areas of Mirjaveh, Chabahar, and Konarak Counties of Sistan va Baluchistan Province. OBJECTIVES This...

In this paper, the large amount of sedimentation and the resultant shoreline advancements at the breakwaters of Beris Fishery Port are studied. A series of numerical modeling of waves, sediment transport, and shoreline changes were conducted to predict the complicated equilibrium shoreline. The outputs show that the nearshore directions of wave components are not perpendicular to the coast whic...

  Using a semi-balloon otter trawl, crab fisheries in the main bays of Guangdong Province, China, were carried out seasonally . A total of 70 species were found, all belonging to the South China Sea Faunal sub region in the tropical India-West-Pacific Faunal Region. The clustering and nMDS ordination analysis revealed the existence of three groups. Group 1 included Hailing Bay and four bays to ...

Serum biochemical parameters are important aspects in the management of endangered species. The values of these parameters can be used for confirming the maturity and for monitoring any changes in the quality of waters and related soils. The aim of this research was to determine the reference values of biochemical factors in Acantopagrus latus and Epinephelus coioides. Blood samples were collec...

the aim of this study was to survey levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (pcbs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (pcdfs), and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (pcdds) in white mullet (mugil curema), common snook (centropomus undecimalis), and acoupa weakfish (cynoscion acoupa), collected at sepetiba bay, rio de janeiro, brazil, march-august 2013. pcbs and pcdd/fs were determined by high resolutio...

abstractthe aim of this study was to determine the ecology of the ostracoda species in the sediments collected from the erdek bay and to observe the relationship between ecological parameters with the number of ostracoda species and individual numbers. sediment and water samples have been collected seasonally from 8 stations of the study area from six different depths (0.3; 1; 5; 10; 20; 30 m)....
