background and aims: measles remains one of the leading causes of childhood morbidity and mortality in developing countries and is still a major public health concern in developed countries. although live attenuated vaccine is used throughout the world, out breaks of disease still occur in many countries including iran. methods: the present study was performed to evaluate the immune status agai...

background: the diagnosis of toxocariasis heavily depends on immunological tests because the number of parasites is usually few in infected tissues, unless they migrate into an organ such as eye. in general, patients with ocular toxocariasis have serum anti- t canis antibody titres that are significantly lower than those with visceral toxocariasis. objective: to diagnose the asymptomatic toxoca...

herein, we presented the first report on bluetongue (bt) disease in 10 pregnant camels in a herd fromkerman province, iran. all sera samples were tested serologically (agid, c-elisa). we also used the razi-bk cell line, performed primary culture of ovine kidney and inoculated intravenously the embryonatedchicken eggs (ece) to culture and isolate the bt virus. efforts to culture and isolation of...

to develop an elisa technique for the detection of antibodies against babesia ovis, the infectederythrocytes were lysed and the supernatant soluble antigen, after sonication and ultracentrifugation of thelysate was used as antigen. optimal dilution of the antigen was determined by checkerboard titrations, usingpositive and negative control sera. a correlation of 85% was observed between the res...

Plant diseases caused by viruses are the most menace to sustainable agriculture, leading numerous billion dollars in losses annually. Proper and accurate detection of plant is always key developing appropriate solutions manage economic them. Advances technology have simplified tools available detect diagnose at a time when control measures should be used. Currently, nucleic acid serological bas...

Background Toxoplasma Gondi is an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite that is one of the most important protozoa of blood and tissue. The medical importance of this parasite is considered from two aspects of congenital defects and opportunities among those with congenital immune deficiency. Depending on the mode of transmission through blood and the risk of infection to Toxoplasma Gondi...
