Article Synopsis
- Myianoetus is a type of mite from the Histiostomatidae family that attaches to flies.
- This relationship is significant for forensic studies since the life cycle of flies can help estimate the time of death in cases involving decomposing bodies.
- The study reported the first instance of Myianoetus muscarum deutonymphs found on adult Musca domestica in Iran, indicating a need for more research on their connection.
Article Synopsis
- * Out of 390 sheep sampled, 19.2% tested positive for Theileria spp., with the majority having mixed infections, indicating exotic breeds are more susceptible to these parasites.
- * Despite differences in infection density, there were no hematological differences between single and mixed infections, and the research highlighted a notable genetic diversity among T. lestoquardi in the region.
Article Synopsis
- Malignant ovine theileriosis is a serious disease in sheep caused by the parasite Theileria lestoquardi, which affects various organs and is associated with heightened inflammation in infected animals.
- A study was conducted on seven healthy Baluchi sheep, investigating the changes in proinflammatory cytokines (like IL-6, TNF-α, and IFN-γ) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels during the course of the infection.
- Results showed that the sheep experienced high fever and increased parasitaemia, particularly peaking around day 12, while key blood cell counts (WBCs, RBCs, lymphocytes, etc.) initially rose but later decreased, demonstrating a negative correlation with
Background: is one the most important zoonotic disease which is endemic in worldwide. Molecular method has allowed discrimination of different genotypes (G1-G10), providing new approach in development of prevention and control program of hydatid cyst. This study was conducted to identify the genotypes of from domestic animals in nine districts of North Khorasan Province using the mitochondrial cox1 gene sequence.

The aim of this study was to evaluate biochemical and hematological characteristics of sheep after being experimentally infected by T. lestoquardi.

Investigation was conducted from 2010 to 2011 in the south of Khorasan Razavi Province, Iran. A total of 150 blood samples were collected from 30 different sheep flocks.

From a total 52 stray cats examined, 18 (34.6%) were male and 34 (65.
