Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on the head louse, Pediculus humanus capitis, which is a significant public health concern globally, particularly in northern Iran, where genetic analysis is key for managing infestations.
- - Researchers collected adult head lice from 100 infested individuals across five regions in Mazandaran Province and analyzed their mitochondrial DNA, discovering two genetic clades (A and B) and identifying 13 haplotypes.
- - Clade A was the most prevalent, representing 75% of samples, and the findings indicated high genetic diversity among the lice populations, with 11 of the haplotypes being previously unknown.
Background: The present study aimed to investigate the one-year prevalence of SARS-CoV-2, common comorbidities and demographic information among negative- and positive rRT-PCR in health care workers (HCW), hospitalized and outpatients. Also, the association between SARS-CoV-2 cycle threshold (Ct) and the outcomes of patients were analyzed in Babol, northern Iran.
Methods: This large retrospective cross-sectional study was performed between March 2020 and March 2021.
A Large Retrospective Study of Epidemiological Characteristics of COVID-19 Patients in the North of Iran: Association between SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Ct Values with Demographic Data.

Objectives: To avoid worsening from mild, moderate, and severe diseases and to reduce mortality, it is necessary to identify the subpopulation that is more vulnerable to the development of COVID-19 unfavorable consequences. This study aims to investigate the demographic information, prevalence rates of common comorbidities among negative and positive real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) patients, and the association between SARS-CoV-2 cycle threshold (Ct) at hospital admission, demographic data, and outcomes of the patients in a large population in Northern Iran.
Methods: This large retrospective cross-sectional study was performed from 7 March to 20 December 2020.
