BACKGROUND Toxoplasma gondii, the obligate intracellular parasite is life threatening in AIDS patients. Diagnosis of toxoplasmosis is based on serological methods especially increasing of IgM and IgG titers, but finding of parasite or its components (antigenemia) may be beneficial method in order to detection of acute toxoplasmosis in immunocompromised patients. METHODS Ninety-four serum samp...

zafarabad iron deposit is located northwest of divandareh, in the northern margin of sanandaj-sirjan plutonic-metamorphic zone. the deposit is in lentoid to tubular shape, within a shear zone and occrrued in host rocks of calc-schist and limestone. magnetite with massive, cataclastic and replacement textures are the main phases, while pyrite and other sulfide minerals are found. major and trace...

nezam-abad area is located in southwest of shazand (arak) which is a part of sanandaj-sirjan zone. major intrusive rocks of nezam-abad are quartz diorite and minor amount of granodiorite. leucogranitic, pegmatite dykes and quartz-tourmaline veins were intruded the quartz diorite. quartz diorites are mainly composed of plagioclase, hornblende, biotite, quartz and pyroxene as major minerals. majo...

the muteh gold deposit (ne of golpaygan) in the central part of intrusive-metamorphic belt of sanandaj-sirjan zone comprises nw-se trending gold-quartz vein occurred in metamorphic complex. gold mineralization is associated with quartz veins that formed during regional deformation across the mylonitic zones in metamorphic rocks of predominantly meta-volcanic, gneiss and schist. the sulfidation ...

the study area is a part of the sanandaj-sirjan metamorphic belt comprising low- to high-graderegional and contact metamorphic rocks that are intruded by various plutonic bodies. garnet crystals areabundant in pelitic schists, amphibole schists, migmatites, hornfelses and aplites. they are mostly almandinerich(xalm>60) pyralspite garnets and show dodecahedron, trapezohedron and mixed (dodecahed...
