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...

Gelatin is a hydrocolloid widely used in food products, especially soft candy. It contains essential amino acids - except tryptophan which easily digested, not toxic, can form flexible and robust film layer to produce the right product. However, as Muslim, it must ensure that what consumed halal, from bovine gelatin. The purpose of this study was identify gelatin candy products using specific p...

The detailed information on the chemical and nutritional content is essential for consumers in choosing meat-derived food products. For moslem communities, it is prohibited to consume pork-contained or other pig derivatives foods. Unfortunately, meat adulteration by means of mixing beef and chicken with pork or other pig derivatives frequently occurs in the market. This habits cause difficult i...

Cryopreservation is a technique for storing cells and tissues at very low temperatures the possible usage of stored throughout year. Sperm cell cryopreservation in some species causes decrease sperm quality DNA damage. Inappropriate protocols can cause changes physiology. Mitochondria are organelles that play role producing energy motility. have molecules with small sizes compared to structures...

The poorly known Clymene dolphin ( Stenella clymene ) is a small oceanic cetacean distributed in tropical and subtropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean. In this study, we report, for first time, vagrant individual Argentina (Rada Tilly) that represents current southern-most record species. We provide molecular identification dolphin, based on partial sequences mitochondrial cytochrome b gene, ge...

Molecular markers allow insights into the population biology and ecology of deep-sea organisms, which are usually hardly accessible to direct observation and poorly known. Such a study was undertaken here for the deep-sea fish Beryx splendens, a species of growing interest to fisheries. B. splendens populations were sampled on seamounts and continental margins in the southwestern Pacific (New C...

Nuclear genetic mutations have been extensively investigated in solid tumors. However, the role of the mitochondrial genome remains uncertain. Since the metabolism of solid tumors is associated with aerobic glycolysis and high lactate production, tumors may have mitochondrial dysfunctions. Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a rare form‌ of colorectal cancer and an autosomal dominant inheri...

Initial amplification and sequencing of a 366-bp fragment of the cytochrome b gene by a conserved primer pair (MVZ 03 and MVZ 04) revealed a nonfunctional copy of the gene with two deletions (one of which is 17 bp in length and the other of which is 3 bp in length) in Chroeomys jelskii, a South American akodontine rodent. By means of an alternative primer to MVZ 03--namely, MVZ 05--from the reg...
