background : female sand flies of subgenus adlerius are considered as probable vectors of visceral leishmaniasis in iran. the objective of this study was to determine the morphological and genotypic variations in the populations of this subgenus in the country. methods : sand flies collected using sticky traps from 17 provinces during 2008–2010. the morphometric measurements were conducted with...

abstract some agricultural fields of razevi and north khorasan provinces were sampled for identification and resistance to metalaxyl of pythium ultimum species isolates. isolation was done between years of 2007 to 2009. van der plaats- niterink key to species of pythium and specific its region of rdna were used for morphological and molecular identification respectively. micrometric characteris...

Background and Purpose: Trichosporon is a genus of anamorphic basidiomycetous yeast which is widely distributed in nature and is found in tropical and temperate areas. The aim of this work was to study the isolation, identification and molecular analysis of Trichosporon species in soil. Materials and Methods: In order to isolate and identify Trichosporon species in soil, 30 samples were collec...

Some fungal species were isolated from scab or scab-like symptoms on leaves of various plant hosts in Iran. Some of them isolated from apple and pear leaves were investigated in the present study. The isolates were identified based on the morphological and cultural characteristics. On the other hand, for molecular identification and phylogenetic analyses were carried out based on the sequence o...
