background mycobacterium tuberculosis genotyping can effectively improve tuberculosis (tb) control programs by controlling disease transmission. pulsed field gel electrophoresis (pfge) is a particularly powerful tool for determination of clonal identity of bacteria providing information for understanding and controlling the spread of disease. objectives the aim of present study was to investiga...

introdution: tuberculosis (tb), with different types of respiratory tract involvements, has a high rate of mortality all around the world. endobronchial involvement, which is a slightly common tuberculous infection, requires special attention due to its severe complications such as bronchostenosis. aim of study of this study was describes, one type of pulmonary tuberculosis with less diagnosed ...

Mycoplasma gallisepticum and Mycoplasma synoviae are the causative agents of avian mycoplasmosis in commercial poultry. Among the available tools, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and culture are confirmatory tools for the diagnosis of mycoplasmosis after the initial serological screening of suspected birds. Overall, 181 samples were analyzed, 152 (84%) and 103 (57%) of which were found positive...

influenza a viruses possesses two virion surface glycoproteins including haemagglutinin (ha) and neuraminidase (na). the na plays an important role in viral replication and promotes virus release from infected cells and facilitates virus spread throughout the body. to find out any genomic changes that might be occurred on na gene of avian influenza circulating viruses, we have genetically analy...

avian influenza is one of the most important diseases in avian industry, which also threats human population. thus, vaccination is necessary for controlling this viral disease. in this study, killed vaccine of avian influenza subtype h9n2 and formalin solution (for virus inactivation) were used. it is necessary to study the effect of different factors such as formalin concentration, as well as ...

This study was conducted to molecularly detect avian adenoviruses in broiler flocks showing liver lesions and respiratory syndrome in northeast Iran. In total, 60 tissue samples were collected from broiler farms with liver lesions, respiratory syndrome and also from clinically healthy flocks. Six samples were positive; however, three samples were selected for molecular studies. PCR products wer...
