The phylogeny of the species Epilobium in Kurdistan Region-Iraq was investigated by using six in-group species: E. anatolicum Hausskn. subsp. anatolicum, hirsutum L., obscurum Schreber, parviflorum rechingeri Raven., tetragonum L. and one out-group related genus: Ludwingia grandiflora (Michx.) Greuter & Burdet, based on trnL-F intergenic region chloroplast DNA internal transcribed spacer (I...

Epilobium and Chamaenerion included 165 8 species over the world, respectively. The members of genera are distributed particularly in moist habitats from subpolar to tropical regions.This paper aims provide improvements phylogeny using Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) nuclear DNA matK gene sequence data evaluation with maximum parsimony, likelihood, Bayesian inference criterations. A total 188...

The use of tick vaccine in controlling ticks and tick borne diseases has been proved effective in integrated tick management format. For the control of H. a. anatolicum, Bm86 ortholog of H. a. anatolicum was cloned and expressed as fusion protein in E. coli as E. coli-pETHaa86. The molecular weight of the rHaa86 was 97 kDa with a 19 kDa fusion tag of thioredoxin protein. The expressed protein w...

Understanding sexual dimorphism is very important in studies of insect evolution. Though has been the subject numerous entomological there have no examined Dorcadion anatolicum Pic, 1900 which endemic to Turkey. In this study, using geometric morphometrics, we analyzed size and shape pronotum specimens collected from Konya Province. Results morphometrics revealed that can be effectively used mo...

background: crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever (cchf) is a severe tick-born illness caused by the cchfv. ruminant animals are the main host to ticks, and ticks are a vector of cchf. therefore, this survey was carried out in 2013 on ticks of khouzistan province, in the southwest of iran, to specify tick species parasitizing live stocks and their seasonal population dynamics. materials and methods: ...

background: ticks are the main vectors for transmission of different pathogens to human and animals. this survey was performed to find out distribution of ticks, which infested the domestic ruminants in yazd province, central iran during year 2008-2009. methods: a total number of 30 villages from both mountainous (20%) and plateau (80%) regions of the province were selected randomly. ticks were...

the economic importance of tick infestation on camels are important as they are important meat and milk producer animals in the less vegetation area of iran and their health and production are greatly affected by the high tick infestation. in this investigation, tick infestations on camels (camelus dromedarius) were determined in qeshm island, iran. a total number of 912 adult ticks (472 males ...
