Expression of Hexokinase in the Proteome Profile of and Crithidia.

Objective: The relationship between drug resistance and the expression of hexokinase (HK) has been indicated in leishmaniasis. According to the prolonged treatment period in cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) patients co-infected with in Iran, this study aims to investigate the expression of HK in the proteome of and using a proteomic approach.

Methods: A total of 205 samples were removed from the lesions of patients in Fars province, Iran, for the characterization of and using polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Investigation of the Physical, Chemical Characteristics and Microbial Contamination of the Indoor Swimming Pools.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the physical, chemical and microbiological contamination of indoor swimming pools.

Methods: Pool water specimens were collected using a plastic polypropylene sterilized bottle. The physical and chemical qualities of the waters were analyzed in terms of temperature, turbidity, pH, and free residual chlorine, with the standard methods for the examination of water.

Comparative Genotyping of Infecting Livestock in Turkey and Iran.

Objective: contains a complex of different strains that represent diversity in the pattern of the life cycle and also their host types. So far 10 genotypes of this parasite have been identified, using molecular methods.
