sarcocystosis has been reported from most parts of the world, including ruminant animals in iran. based on this, immunoelectrophoresis profile of sarcocystis and comparison between serum and necropsy findings to determine sensitivity and specifity of counterimmunoelectrophoresis (cie) was undertaken. for this purpose, serum was collected from a total number of 100 sheep. soluble antigen provide...

background: pneumocystis carinii is one of opportunistic organisms especially in immuno-compromised patients. for years, diagnosis of pneumocystis pneumonia (pcp) has relied on microscopic visualization of organism in specimens obtained from the lung either by bronchoalveolar lavage (bal) or by induction of sputum, but failed to provide efficient diagnosis. the aim of this study was to compare ...

Sensitivity analysis is an indispensable tool for studying the robustness and fragility properties of biochemical reaction systems as well as for designing optimal approaches for selective perturbation and intervention. Deterministic sensitivity analysis techniques, using derivatives of the system response, have been extensively used in the literature. However, these techniques suffer from seve...
