Journal ArticleDOI
Nested PCRs and sequencing of nuclear ITS-rDNA fragments detect three Leishmania species of gerbils in sandflies from Iranian foci of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis
Parviz Parvizi,Paul D. Ready +1 more
TL;DR: To identify and understand the natural transmission cycles of Leishmania in Iranian sandflies, a large number of species of sandflies have been recorded in the region.
Journal ArticleDOI
First detection of Leishmania major in peridomestic Phlebotomus papatasi from Isfahan province, Iran: comparison of nested PCR of nuclear ITS ribosomal DNA and semi-nested PCR of minicircle kinetoplast DNA.
TL;DR: Two PCR methods were compared for their sensitivity in detecting cultured Leishmania major, before being used to estimate infection rates in female sandflies collected from peridomestic animal shelters and the nearby burrows of the gerbil reservoir hosts, Rhombomys opimus, in Isfahan province, central Iran.
Journal ArticleDOI
PCR detection and sequencing of parasite ITS-rDNA gene from reservoirs host of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis in central Iran.
Parviz Parvizi,Ghasem Moradi,Ghasem Moradi,Ghasem Akbari,Mahin Farahmand,Paul D. Ready,Norair Piazak,Mehdi Assmar,Aref Amirkhani +8 more
TL;DR: Find two Leishmania species in different rodent species as reservoir in Iran, therefore, careful molecular eco-epidemiological investigations will be an essential part of modeling the roles of different gerbil species in maintaining and spreading ZCL foci.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and detection of Leishmania species among naturally infected Rhombomis opimus, a reservoir host of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis in Turkemen Sahara, North East of Iran
Asad Mirzaei,Soheila Rouhani,Heshmatollah Taherkhani,Mahin Farahmand,Bahram Kazemi,M. Hedayati,Ahmad Baghaei,B Davari,Parviz Parvizi +8 more
TL;DR: In Iran, Rhombomis opimus is probably the key reservoir in this ZCL focus because of its abundance and its infection rates with both L. major and L. turanica.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two Leishmania species circulating in the Kaleybar focus of infantile visceral leishmaniasis, northwest Iran: implications for deltamethrin dog collar intervention
Parviz Parvizi,Parviz Parvizi,A. S. Mazloumi-Gavgani,Clive R. Davies,Orin Courtenay,Paul D. Ready +5 more
TL;DR: The widespread distribution of L. tropica in the Kaleybar focus of IVL suggests that this parasite is not a transient introduction, and indicates that this will also be necessary in some regions of the Old World.
