Abstract: Background: Hemiscorpius lepturus is a medically important scorpion found along the Iranian borders, especially near to Khuzestan Province in the south-west of Iran. This is the only non-buthid scorpion which is potentially lethal in southern Iran and is responsible for severe dermonecrotic scorpionism. OBJECTIVES: In this study, DNA fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase ...

Osteochilus spilurus is one of the native fish in Indonesia. This species from North Lampung has variations body shape with populations Bangka and Belitung. Morphological plasticity genetic variation are potential causes these differences. To confirm this, it necessary to identify molecular using mitochondrial cytochrome b (cyt b) gene. Fish samples had morphological characters that matched des...

conclusions in this experimental study, for the first time in iran the expression and purification of this recombinant protein was done successfully. this recombinant protein could be used as a vaccine candidate and diagnostic purpose in subsequent investigations. results the highest expression of the cytochrome p450 cyp141 protein was obtained by the addition of 1 mm of isopropyl β-d-1-thiogal...

alcanivorax borkumensis is a marine bacterium that has ability to grow on limited substrates that mainly is alkanes. the ability to use wide range of hydrocarbons is advantage of this bacterium to other marine community bacteria. a. borkumensis have two genetic systems for alkane biodegradation. the first system is alkane hydroxylase (alk-b1and alk-b2) and the second system is  cytochrome p450....

Sergentomyia sintoni is the natural vector of Sauroleishmania species of lizards. This sandfly isabundance in and around the burrows of great gerbils. S. sintoni was collected from peridomestic animalshelters, inside and around houses and also from the nearby burrows of the gerbil reservoir hosts,Rhombomys opimus, in several provinces of Iran. Mitochondrial Cytochrome b (Cyt b) of sandflies, wh...

Sumatran elephant (Elephas maximus sumatranus Temminck, 1847) is one of the Asian sub-species distributed in Sumatera Island and classified as endangered species due to hunting high habitat fragmentation. This study aimed analyze genetic relationship elephants based on mitochondrial cytochrome b gene (Cyt b). Blood samples were collected from 11 Seblat Natural Ecotourism Park. Based mt-DNA Cyto...

background: haematophagous females of some phlebotomine sandflies are the only natural vectors of leishmania species, the causative agents of leishmaniasis in many parts of the tropics and subtropics, including iran.  we report the presence of phlebotomus (larroussius) major and phlebotomus (adlerius) halepensis in tonekabon (ma­zanderan province) and phlebotomus (larroussius) tobbi in pakdasht...
