Assessing the Prevalence and Histopathology of Linguatula serrata Infection of Camels and Cattle in Zabol County, Sistan and Baluchestan Province, Iran.

Background/objective: Linguatula serrata (L. serrata) is a worldwide zoonotic parasite and one of the most widespread pathogens. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of L.

Exploring the prevalence and impact of infection across fish species in Sistan region, Iran.

Fisheries play a crucial role in aquatic ecosystems, a resource with ecological and economic importance. Measuring parasite prevalence is necessary to assess these fish species' health and well-being. Within the Sistan region, this study sought to estimate the prevalence and intensity of infection with plerocercoid  () in seven fish species and identify factors such as fish weight, seasonality, and fishing location that might influence infection rates.

Identification of zoonotic pathogenic bacteria from blood and ticks obtained from hares and long-eared hedgehogs (Hemiechinus megalofis) in eastern Iran.

The role of wildlife in the complex balance of tick-borne diseases within ecosystems is crucial, as they serve as hosts for tick carriers and reservoirs for the pathogens carried by these ticks. This study aimed to investigate the presence of zoonotic pathogenic bacteria in wildlife, specifically in hares and long-eared hedgehogs (Hemiechinus megalofis), in the eastern region of Iran. The focus was on the detection of Borrelia spp.

Urban Green Space Is Spatially Associated with Cardiovascular Disease Occurrence in Women of Mashhad: a Spatial Analysis of Influential Factors on their Presence in Urban Green Spaces.

Chronic diseases have spread around the world. Cardiovascular diseases (CVD), the most important of the chronic diseases and the leading cause of death in women of Mashhad, are impacted by environmental factors. Urban green spaces (UGSs) are important environmental factors playing a critical role in the prevention and control of CVD.

Separate and combined effects of lactic acid, chitosan and modified atmosphere packaging on the shelf life of quail carcass under chilled conditions.

The shelf life of quail carcass was examined after imposing separate and combined treatments of spraying with lactic acid (LA, 1% v/v), dipping in chitosan (CH, 1% w/v) and placing the carcass in modified atmosphere package (MAP, 65% CO + 30% N + 5% O) at 4 ± 1 °C for 20 days. The control group was packed under similar atmospheric condition but without any antimicrobial agents. Microbiological populations, physicochemical properties and sensory attributes (color, odor and overall appearance) were monitored at 4-day intervals.

The Effects of Zataria multiflora Boiss Essential Oil and Nisin on Chemical Characteristics of Rainbow Trout Fillet Stored at 4 °C.

This study evaluated the effects of Zataria multiflora essential oil (EO) and nisin on fresh rainbow trout fillets during storage at 4 °C. Treatments included the following: A (control samples without EO and nisin), E1 (treated samples with 0.2% EO), E2 (treated samples with 0.

Determination of aflatoxin M1 levels in Iranian white and cream cheese.

A screening survey on the occurrence of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) was accomplished on 210 cheese samples composed of white cheese (116 samples) and cream cheese (94 samples) purchased from popular markets in central part of Iran (Esfahan and Yazd provinces). The quantitative analysis of AFM1 levels in the samples was performed by using the competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique. Aflatoxin M1 at measurable level (50 ng/kg) was detected in 161 (76.

Microbial and sensory characteristics of camel meat during refrigerated storage as affected by gamma irradiation.

The present study was undertaken to assess the microbiological profile of fresh camel meat and the possibility of improving microbial quality and extending the refrigerated storage life of meat by using low-dose gamma irradiation. Camel meat samples were subjected to 0 (control), 1.5 and 3 kGy doses and stored at 3 +/- 1 degrees C.
