background: the cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) has been occurred in dehbakri county, located 46 km of bam dis­trict, kerman province since 2004–2005. phlebotomus papatasi is an important vector of zoonotic cutaneous leishmanisis (zcl) as well as sand fly fever and p. sergenti is considered as main vector of anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (acl) in iran. there are several measures for vector...

We begin by reviewing various classical problems concerning the existence of primes or numbers with few prime factors as well as some of the key developments towards resolving these long standing questions. Then we put the theory in a natural and general geometric context of actions on affine n-space and indicate what can be established there. The methods used to develop a combinational sieve i...

A simple method of the maximum likelihood estimation of the number of nucleotide substitutions is presented for the case where restriction sites data from many different restriction enzymes are available. An iteration method, based on nucleotide counting, is also developed. This method is simpler than the maximum likelihood method but gives the same estimate. A formula for computing the varianc...

Introduction: Cutaneous leishmaniasis is an important public health problem in many tropical and sub-tropical countries including Iran. In Iran, it presents in two forms of anthroponotic CL (ACL) and zoonotic CL (ZCL). Bam is one of the oldest foci of ACL and the earthquake of 2003 December, 26th made a significant change in the population and environmental factors and subsequently in epidemiol...
