        Anaplasmosis, babesiosis and theileriosis is parasitic diseases that can cause significant damage to the livestock industry. Despite the importance of the pathogenicity of theileriosis, babesiosis and anaplasmosis in large animal populations, in Iran, studies have been performed mainly on small ruminants. So, the aim of this study was to the diagnosis of the frequency of Theileria, Babesia and Annapalsma infections from cattle in Alborz province using microscopic examination and PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction). For this purpose, out of 130 dairy cattle were taken blood samples and stained with Giemsa dye. Positive smear samples were incorporated for molecular detection. DNA was extracted from blood samples with phenol-chloroform and performed PCR using 18S rRNA, 16S rRNA and TamS primers to identify of the genus and species. The results of this study showed that frequency of piroplasmic form was observed in 9.23% of cases. The 18S rRNA PCR findings revealed 5.38%, were confirmed infection with Theileria and Babesia. Also, Tams1 PCR results were indicated Theileria anulata infection in all cases. 16S rRNA PCR was detected in 3.85% for Anaplasma. No case of Babesia was observed. Considering the cases of infection with T. anulata and Babesia and the importance of some species of Babesia, the importance of further studies to evaluate these diseases in order to improve the livestock industry seems necessary.

        Background and Objective: Acid mine drainage (AMD) is one of the most environmental problems which is caused by mining activities. It may be generated from oxidation of sulfide minerals (specifically pyrite) in mining wastes, ore and mineral processing. As a result, prediction and measurement of pyrite can play a key role in investigation of AMD process. In this paper, a relationship based on multivariate regression is suggested for predicting of remained pyrite fraction within a coal waste pile located nearby Alborz- Sharghi coal washing plant. Method: For this purpose, the model uses the most important factors (independent variables) including depth, mole fraction of oxygen, local temperature and cumulative annual precipitation (from the initial deposition of the wastes within the pile) as input parameters and returns the remaining pyrite fraction (dependent variable) in the related depth of the pile as its output. Findings: The results of the laboratory experiments reveal that the fraction of pyrite remaining gradually increased at the lower depth where the oxygen diffuses from the surface to 2 m of the pile. A comprehensive statistical analysis was conducted after obtaining and collecting of the required data which caused all the possible relationships among the target and independent variables to be suggested and presented. Then, the best model (relationship) according to Efroymson’s the step wise regression method was presented to predict of the remained pyrite fraction within the pile. Discussion and discussions: The relatively high confidence level of the suggested model (87%) reveals its appropriate reliability. A strong correlation (R2=90%) between validation data and suggested model also confirms the desirable reliability of the model. The proposed model is recommended to be applied in similar coal waste piles and will economize time and cost in investigation of AMD process on the environmental management issue of mining wastes.   Manuscript profile

        Acceleration of climate trend change is caused by the swift shift of rangeland conditions that using modern methods of evaluation to them are counted to sustainable management of the rangelands. In order for an investigation of trend change of rangeland vegetation due to climate change, central Alborz rangelands were selected. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) for the period of 30-year (1987-2016) was extracted by Landsat satellite, TM, ETM+, and OLI series. Drought periods were determined using the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI). The Markov Chain model was used to anticipate the future changes of rangeland vegetation. The results showed that the vegetation cover index’s changes have risen and fallen for three decades in which, despite of increasing for some years 1986 (0.86), 2002 (0.87), 2005 (0.87), and 2015 (0.86); the changes trend was decreasingly for 1995 (0.53), 1998 (0.65), 2000 (0.62), and 2008 (0.61) years, especially for fair to very poor classes. The highest correlation (91.5%) between the SPI and NDVI was shown that severe to moderate drought has taken place along with decreased vegetation periods. Moreover, the Markov Chain model has anticipated a forcible declined change of vegetation cover for 2031 and 2046 periods. Therefore, range management approaches have to prepare itself in order to the gradual increase of temperature, which has destructive effects on vegetation cover, via regulating of grazing capacity and replacing of highly performance livestock in the future.

        Vegetation is one of the criteria indicating the production potential of the land. So that the quality and quantity of vegetation in each region is a criterion for determining its production potential. In this research, vegetation indices of Landsat 8 digital data were used to estimate vegetation cover and biomass in the protected area of the central Alborz in June 2016. To study the correlation between vegetation cover and biomass with satellite data, 27 samples were obtained randomly in the region. Linear regression was used to determine the relationship between cover percentage and biomass values with remotely sensed vegetation indices. The results showed that among selected vegetation indexes,  Enhanced vegetation index (EVI) and Visible atmospherically resistant index (VAR) had the highest correlation coefficient with vegetation percentage 0.53 and 0.52, respectively. Therefore, these vegetation indices are appropriate for estimating vegetation cover at a 5% significance level. And in calibration, the correlation coefficient for the wet weight of vegetation and the indices of Global environment monitoring index (GEMI), Simple ratio (VR) and Enhanced vegetation index (EVI) were 0.43, 0.41 and 0.41, respectively even though their estimations were unsuccessful in the validation stage. According to the results of this research, it is recommended that the indicators for the estimation of the quality and quantity of vegetation should be used in which the atmosphere and soil impacts are considered.

        Sand flies of the Phlebotomine family are the main vectors of leishmaniasis (salak) and some other diseases all around the world. Salak is endemic disease in many parts of Iran. Due to the fact that in recent years, we have witnessed the occurrence of salak in Alborz province, and since providing an effective control strategy for vector- borne diseases, requires identification of the fauna of their vectors, the present study was carried out with the aims of identifying the fauna of these sand flies in Alborz province. Sand flies were collected biweekly during the months of August, September and October 2021, from designated areas, using sticky traps. In this study, 1157 sand flies were collected and identified. The number of sand flies caught from indoor and outdoor places was respectively 31.72% and  68.28%. Overall, Six of which were of genus Phlebotomus (Raynal, 1937), including P. papatasi (Scopoli, 1786), 695(60.07%), P. kandelakii (Shchurenkova, 1926), 13(1.12%), P. sergenti (Parrot, 1917), 232(20.05%), P. major (Annandale, 1910), 14(1.21%), P. caucasicus (Marzinowsky,1917), 4(0.35%), P. alexandri (Alexandri Sinton, 1920), 18(1.56%), and four were of the genus Sergentomyia  (Artemiev, 1978), including S. tiberiadis (Adler, Theodor & Lourie, 1930), 109(9.42%), S. baghdadis (Adler & Theodor, 1929), 53(4.58%), S.sintoni (Sintoni Pringle, 1933), 14(1.21%), S. clydei (Sinton, 1928), 5(0.43%).  This study has shown that, P. papatasi (Scopoli, 1786) and P. sergenti (Parrot, 1917) are the most abundant species, and it seems these could be the potential vectors for cutaneous leishmaniasis in the region. Understanding fauna and ecological aspects of sand flies can help to control of disease. Manuscript profile

        The Quazvin plain along with the heights that overlook it is one of the important centers of foundation and development of human culture in Iranian Flat in different eras. The focus of archeological studies in recent decades on Quazvin plain and scientific archeological studies in heights overlooking the plain especially southern mountainsides has made the Alborz mountains inevitable for study. In this research¸ the results from a number of archeological findings and recent studies can get a view of the position of the area in prehistoric eras¸ past history and the history of Islam. For this purpose¸ three villages, i.e. , Ziaran Estern and Western mountain sides of Abyek city and the village of Eastern Eghbal locating at the territory governed by central part of Qazvin were studied. We studied 89 archeological sites and also a considerable number of mentioned and unmentioned works including stone tools, sculpture, metal tools and so on were identified and discovered we dealt with them in this research. The results from this research reveal that with regard to 7 sites related to the period of Paleolithic which had stone tools and traces that are the characteristics of middle and new Paleolithic. We can say that in the period of Paleolithic the heights of this area were of the important habitats of people in the North of Iranian Flat. Although the identification of traces and cultural materials of the period of chalcolithic (2 cases) and the bronze age (3 case) show the continuation of living of people in the mentioned era, the identification of a great number of sites of Iron age (21cases) and Parthian (38 cases) shows the witnesses of habitats and settlement of human communities (Regarding both the quality and quantity of witnesses) from the second half of the second millennium BC until the first half of millennium A.C Forwards movement regarding the vast number of sites and areas and cultural heritage of different Islamic periods (47 cases) in the course of Islamic periods that has moved ahead.  Manuscript profile

        Due to its special geographical conditions and cultural background, Tabaristan is one of the most important historical regions, and identifying its geographical boundaries as the background of events and the origin of artistic and cultural elements specific to the region seems essential for cultural and social studies. If we consider historical geography as a set of political, ethnic and cultural geography of a historical region, the purpose of this research is to examine the historical geography of Tabarstan to identify its scope. The research method was descriptive and analytical in the framework of historical geography and collecting information using library sources. The result of the research shows that Tabaristan, as the home of the Tapuri clans, included many areas from the east to the west of the plain and the northern and southern slopes of Alborz, which, due to its special geographical location, was able to withstand the Aryan immigrants and the Arabs for a long time. With the spread of conflicts with the envoys of the Arab caliphs and the central governments of Iran, the confrontation of local governments and the reduction of their authority, Tabarstan was out of unity and had changes in its borders. The range of border changes is Tabaristan, Dillman in the west, Gorgan in the east and Qoms and Ray in the south. Tabari dialect, along with Tabari customs and traditions, is common beyond the borders of Mazandaran and extends the range of old Tabaristan to the southern foothills of Alborz. Manuscript profile

           Chlamydia is an obligate intracellular and gram negative coccobacilli and one of the most important causes of abortion in ruminants especially in ewes. This investigation was performed with the purpose of molecular study and sequencing of Chlamydia abortus isolated from aborted sheep fetuses of Alborz Province. In this study, DNA extraction was performed on 100 samples from aborted fetuses of 32 sheep flocks from different areas of Alborz province. Then using specific primers of gene IGS-Sr- RNA, polymerase chain reaction was conducted and 10 samples were selected randomly from the positive cases were sent to Macrogene company in Korea for sequencing. In this study, 37 samples from a total of 100 aborted fetuses were positive for Chlamydia abortus. After sequencing, more than 99 percent of the positive samples were similar with sequences in gene bank. The sequencing results indicated that the samples were very similar to isolates LN554882/1, AF051935/1 and CR848038/1 of the gene bank and were in the same cluster. Also, this investigation indicated that Chlamydia abortus is one of the main reasons of ewe abortion in Alborz province. Manuscript profile

        The area, covered by snow or snow-cover variations, is one of the important factor in climatologic and hydrologic studies, that could be also useful and applicable in water management and environmental studies, specifically when it is combined with topographic characteristics. In this research Land Surface Temperature (LST) and snow-cover interactions were considered. These environmental indicators interactions, combined with focal topographic characteristics such as slope, play a major role in snow-cover persistency. As a result, the influences of these factors had taken into account in central Alborz mountainous belt in Iran northern boundary. To achieve this goal, snow-cover (SC) and land surface temperature (LST) obtained from Aqua and Terra satellite images that are carrying Modis sensor, used in a the temporal range of 2003 up to 2018. Snow cover data with spatial resolusion of 500m analyzied using python programming language. The analysis performed related to the aspect as a major topographic characteristic in the scope of terrain modeling with using moving window and cell by cell raster analysis thechniques. The result, shows a strong relationship between terrain aspect and snow coverage in the central sector of Alborz Mountains. Land surface temperature and snow-cover had an inverse trend, specifically during winter and fall seasons. June LST (Khordad) was high according to the higher zenith angle of the sun in this period of year. There is a clear gap between the LST values of northern and southern aspects of central Alborz that could be result of mountain orientations to the sun rays, higher humidity levels and denser vegetation cover in the northern part. Southward areas, show higher temperature in almost all months. Directional analysis of LST, demonstrated, that maximum levels of LST are observed in the south-faced and specifically southeastward area and the minimum levels observed in northeastward and specifically northward area during all months. Southward area of the alborz mountainous wall, located at the latitude band of 36N, experienced a higher sun ray incident angle and thus having higher LSTs in southern and southeastern parts. Finally in almost all temporal periods (including month, season and year) higher LSTs in southern aspects (South, Southeast and southwest) in compared to northern one (North, Northeast and northwest) has been observed.

        The preparation of geomorphological maps is requiring a lot of time and extensive money to collect information on maternal and landforms. Registration maternal features in these maps are usually based on geological maps, field operations, and aerial photographs analyzing. However, due to the resistance of rocks and sediments against erosion is different, it is possible to identify and distinguish them by 1:25000 topographic maps and by studying the form of contours. The purpose of this study is to identify contour forms of topographic maps and find their relationship with geological formations of the region in Part of northern and southern Alborz. For this purpose, the existing contours forms including straight contours, and simple sinusoidal, long and elongated sinusoidal, dense sinusoidal and pulsed curves are classified in topography maps of the region and overlapped with the formation maps of the region that supply by using geological maps 1:100000 geological surveys of Iran. Chi-square tests were used to analyze the relationship between them. The results showed that the contour forms of the geological formations of the area were significantly different at the 0.01 level. The contour forms of straight and simple predominate in hard rocks and dense sinusoidal forms in loose formations and are higher than expected. Therefore, the rock material is effective in creating specific contour forms of topographic maps of the area and since these forms are easily recognizable in these maps, it is therefore possible to use topographic maps to obtain material information for geomorphological maps.

          There are relations between water basins and alluvial fans as important forms in arid and semi an arid region which show the dimensions of alluvial fans and also indicate the impacts of different factors in the formation of alluvial fans quantatively. With respect to the fact that the dimensions of alluvial fans are under influence of their  morphometric factors of watershed basins; this research used morphmetrical  features to find the most suitable model in the southern slops of  Alborz Semnan province. For this purpose, 44 water basins and alluvial fans associated with them were determined using 1:500000 topographic maps. Also for more accuracy Google Earth Pro6 software, were used. In the next stage, 11 watershed physiographic characteristics were obtained including: area, perimeter, mean of height, elevation, gradient, basin length, total length of waterways, and length of the main channel, basin shape coefficient, main channel gradient, and drainage density with the help of Geographic Information System (GIS). Then relationship between alluvial fans Dimension as a dependent variable with the quantities of basin morphology as independent variables were analyzed using SPSS software and multiple regression. The results indicate that  among the independent factors,  the variables of area, perimeter, length, area, channel length, main channel length and the density of water drainage basins, had the most influence on the development of alluvial fans respectively and able to find a regression model.

        Abstract Nowadays, landslides are treats for terrestrial ecosystems and their living organisms and they are present in the study area. The aim of current research is obtaining the most important effective factors on shallow landslide occurrence in northern Alborz (Noor County). In the first place, landslide locations were determined by field monitoring and the inventory map of landslides was then prepared. Subsequently, the most effective factors on the landslide incident from 16 data layers, such as biotic and abiotic factors, were derived into ArcGIS 9.3 software. Three models including Landslide Index, Frequency ratio and Certainty Factor were considered to provide the landslide susceptibility map. ROC curve was used to evaluate the models. Results showed that hydrologic elements such as of soil humidity, soil infiltrability, and soil texture along have the highest amount of relationship with the occurrence of shallow landslides in the study region. The results of assessment of model analysis also showed that the shallow landslide zonation map obtained from frequency ratio mode is more accurate one.  Manuscript profile

        This study was conducted to investigate the biochemical diversity and antioxidant properties of three accessions of Perovskia abrotanoides Kar. in eastern Alborz mountain range including Semnan and Mazandaran provinces. Flowering specimens were collected from three natural habitats of Damghan (station 1, 1504 m), Kordmir (station 2, 1672 m) and Shahrud (station 3, 1285 m) in July 2018. The amount of proline, protein, soluble sugars, phenolic compounds, hydrogen peroxide, potassium, copper, zinc, iron, nickel, magnesium, manganese and calcium as well as soil salinity were measured. Methanolic, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate and hexane extracts were extracted by soaking method and the antioxidant activity of the extracts was evaluated using the DPPH radical scavenging capacity. The experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design with 3 replications and the comparison of data means was performed using Duncan's test at a probability level of 5%. The results showed that the highest amount of proline and potassium was in station 1, the highest amount of protein, phenolic compounds, soil salinity and magnesium content were obtained from station 3 and the highest amount of iron was observed in station 2. Moreover, station 3 had the highest level of antioxidant activity in all extracts, and all stations had the lowest level of antioxidant activity in hexane extract. Dichloromethane extracts in stations 2 and 3 had the highest level of antioxidant activity, while in station 1 the highest level of antioxidant activity was found in methanolic extract. Therefore, we concluded that with increasing soil salinity, the phenolic content and antioxidant activity of the populations of P. abrotanoides increase. Manuscript profile

        Urban systems in each country explain how the interaction of regional cities happen. In this study, we have analyzed the spatial distribution of city population on ten regions of national and regional physical plans, the years 1956 to 2011 are discussed and has been analyzed both the urban population system and the ten physical regions. Of the ten regions of national and regional physical plans, two regions of the southern Alborz (Including the provinces of Tehran, Markazi, Semnan, Zanjan, Qazvin, Qom and Alborz) and Khorasan (Including the provinces of South Khorassan, Razvi Korasan and North Kohorasan) ,respectively, had the highest and lowest rates of change between the ten regions. In the follow-up analysis , indicators such as the first twenty positions in the years 1956 to 2011, the analysis of the actual population and population number of twenty cities Primary of the  region in relation to the theoretical Zipf in 2011 and also the analysis of primacy city and decentralization city in the South Khorasan and Alborz, was completed separately. Finally, a comparison between Khorasan region and southern Alborz together and with physical national and regional regions determined that southern Alborz region despite its position among the ten regions was not affected by a change but the intra-regional changes are massive and large altered. Conversely, Khorasan region that on the variations between Regions has been a fundamental change, in the intra-regional variations was found in relative comfort. The study also revealed that due to the changes between regional, it cannot be possible to make an intra-regional analysis and predictions are imposssible. Manuscript profile

        Due to developing consumption of ready-to-eat food and influence of them on foodborne diseases, microbial changes in the various kinds of the foods at the factories and food markets in Alborz province were examined. For this purpose S.aureus bacteria, coliforms, E.coli, molds and yeasts, and bacterial total counts, in 200 samples of semi-cooked (falafel, fishfinger, fried-fish, fried-chicken, meat-cutlet, cordon-bleu, kookoo-sabzi, fried-shrimp, chicken nugget, schnysel chicken , schnysel forming) [A], frozen raw (chicken-kebab, frozen chicken arm, chicken burger, 30%hamburger, 60%hamburger, 75%hamburger, 85%hamburger, 85%finger kebab)[B], and cocked refrigerated (55%cocktail sausage, 55%hot dog, German sausage)[C] were studied. The amount of the bacteria after storage in the stores were more than the factories, in all groups (P≤0/05). Total bacterial count and coliforms, in the C group was less than other groups and between the A and B groups didn’t find any statistical difference. The C group didn’t contain the Escherichia coli, and it was higher in B group than A group. The highest and lowest molds and yeast were founded in B and A samples, respectively. The highest number of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria was related to the B group (P≤0/05). The increase of microbial changes in hyperstores compared to factories can indicate that ready to eat storage has done in abuse time-temperature conditions. In addition to the ecological characteristics of these microbes, cross-contamination by personnel manipulation, improper handling and transportation, undercooked cooking, (especially in semi-cooked food) and improper use of the freezing system can play a significant role in this microbial increase.

        Strategic management with its emphasis on strategic thinking has become an undeniable requirement in today's business world. Classical approaches to strategic planning have fallen into the trap of stereotyping and have been criticized by many organizational thinkers for neglecting its core essence, strategic thinking. On the other hand, the inherent disorder of strategic thinking causes confusion among strategic managers and doubts about the reproducibility of organizational strategic decisions. In this research, the intention is to investigate the effect of strategic thinking on innovation and the successful introduction of new products by Alborz Insurance Company. Standard questionnaires were used to measure research variables. The questionnaire was distributed among 126 sample people from the statistical population who are the managers and sales representatives of Alborz Insurance Company in Bushehr province. The research method was descriptive-correlational. To answer the questions and test the research hypotheses with Smart-PLS software, the method of studying structural equations and path analysis using the partial least squares (PLS) method was used. The results showed that strategic thinking and its dimensions (systemic perspective, focus on intention, smart opportunism, time thinking, and hypothesis-based thinking) have a significant impact on innovation and the successful introduction of products and services of Alborz Insurance Company.

        Background and purpose: Food and Mouth Disease (FMD) is considered one of the most important and common diseases of the ruminants population, which is able to impose heavy economic losses on the bodies of the country's animal husbandry industry. In this regard, vaccination is considered to be the most effective method to prevent disease, which unfortunately, in some cases, vaccination has caused damage to the industry and subsequently dissatisfaction of livestock farmers. The purpose of this study is a comparative evaluation of the types of complications caused by the injection of different types of FMD vaccines available in the country. Materials and methods: The current study was conducted in the field and data collection, between March 2015 and March 2021, on the adult population of large and small ruminants in Alborz, Ilam and provinces. It has been done on 9 different vaccines. Results: The results showed that the cumulative side effects caused by the injection of vaccines was not significant (p>0.05), while the separate side effects of vaccines number 1, 5 and 7, were significant (p<0.05). Conclusions: The results of the study indicated that significant side effects have no important clinical values and counted as the natural reactions of any vaccine. In addition, it was concluded that the Iran made vaccines can be very useful and beneficial in disease prevention and control. Manuscript profile

        The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of risk management on the anxiety of sports injuries with the mediating role of swimmers' safety behavior. The present study is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-correlational research. The statistical population included all swimmers in Alborz province in the age category of youth, hope and adults. Due to the uncertainty of the number of swimmers to select a statistical sample from Alborz province, it was geographically divided into 5 parts: north, south, west, east and center. Finally, 200 swimmers formed a statistical sample using the accessible method. Aaron (2004) Risk Management Questionnaire, Martinez-Korkols et al. (2011) Safety Behavior Questionnaire, Smith et al.'s (2006) Sports Injury Anxiety Scale were used to measure research variables. SPSS software version 23 and PLS version 2 software were used to evaluate the hybrid reliability, Cronbach's alpha, divergent and convergent validity and structural equation modeling. The results showed that risk management and safety behavior have a negative effect on anxiety in sports injuries of swimmers in Alborz province. Manuscript profile

        A seroepidemiological study to detect the presence of the antibodies against West Nile Virus(WNV), Influenza AVirus, Equine Infectious Anemia Virus (EIA) and Equine Arteritis Virus (EAV) was done in Tehran and Alborzprovince, Iran from April 2011 to July 2012. The objective of this study was to determine the serological statusof the most important viruses in horse. Serum samples were collected from stable horses throughout TehranandAlborzprovince. Out Of 126 samples, 3 (2.38%), 1 (0.79%), 37 (29.36%), 85(67.46%) were seropositive for WNV,EIA, EAV and Influenza A Virus, respectively. The results revealed that antibodies against WNV, EIA and EAVwere present in Tehran and Alborz province; meanwhile,previous exposure to WNV, EIA and EAV might nothave occurred in Iran due to low percentages ofWNV and EIA seropositive cases and medium percentage ofEAV seropositive results. Seropositivecases of WNV, EIA and EAV were as same as other reports. Since highpercentages of Influenza A seropositive results, the agent is likely circulating in Iran. Manuscript profile

        Coccidiosis is one of the common intestinal infections in calves worldwide. Different Species of Eimeria protozoanscauses coccidiosis in dairy farms. These protozoa live in intestinal epithelial cells and its life cycle in intestine causessevere diarrhea in young calves. 15 different Eimeria spp. Had been recognized around the world which E.bovis andE.zurnii are the most virulent.In this study, 3 dairy farm at Alborz province in Iran were studied.100 faecal samples were taken and after sporulationof those in 2.5% potassium bichromate presence of Eimerial oocysts were surveyed by using Flotation method suchas Clayton-Layn and Modifed Mc master techniques. The results showed that infection were only in calves, Meaninfection rate was 2%,which this rate is near the results of Razavi and colleagues studies in dairy farms of Shirazregion but is less than Yakhchali study in Sanandaj Province of Iran.All Positive calves in our study were under 3 months of age. The low infection rate in this study is related to animal’sage, individual characteristics and good management of farms, but the latter is probably more important. Manuscript profile

        This survey was carried out to determine the seroprevalence of Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) infection throughcommercial layer farms in Alborz and Qazvin provinces. A total of 2050 serum samples from 21 commercial layerflocks (50 samples from each farm), mostly over 40- week- old were collected during winter and spring seasonsrandomly. The sera were experimented for detecting the antibody against Ms by Serum Plate Agglutination (SPA)Test using commercial M. Synoviae antigen (Soleil Co., France). Positive reactions retested by SPA on 1/8 dilutionand the flocks with more than 10% of positive reactions were considered positive serologically.The results showed that in Alborz province: 10 out of 20 (50%) farms were positive and 10 out of 20 (50%) farmswere negative. Also, 170 out of 1000 (17%) serum samples were positive, 6 out of 1000 (0.6%) were suspect and824 out of 1000 (82.4%) were negative. In Qazvin province: 7 out of 21 flocks (33.3%) were positive and 14 out of21 flocks (66.7%) were negative. Also, 201 out of 1050 sera (19.14%) were positive, 6 sera (0.57%) were suspectand 843 sera (80.28%) were negative. Statistical analysis showed signifcant positive correlation between positiveflocks and strain (LSL strain serologically showed higher positive reaction rate compared to Hy-Line strain),capacity of flocks and the number of houses in the farms (P<0.05).It seems that the seroprevalence of Ms in layer flocks is high. However using MS live vaccine as interventionstrategy requires more detailed studies. Manuscript profile

        Mycoplasma gallisepticum is associated with signifcant economic losses in domestic poultry, caused suboptimalegg production in layers. This survey was carried out to determine the seroprevalence of Mycoplasma gallisepticum infection in commercial layer farms in Alborz and Qazvin provinces for primary evaluation of usage of liveMg vaccine in commercial layer flocks. A total of 2050 serum samples were collected from 41 commercial layerflocks (50 samples from each farm) mostly over 40-week-old. Sera were tested by Serum Plate Agglutination(SPA) method using commercial Mg antigen (Noblis MG®, Intervet Co, Holland). Positive reactions retested bySPA on 1:8 dilution and the farms with more than 10% positive reactions were considered positive serologically.The result showed that in the Alborz province, only one out of 21 (4.8%) farms were positive and the rest (95.2%)were negative; also, 51 out of 1050 (4.86% ) sera were positive, 991 out of 1050 (94.38%) were negative and 8out of 1050 (0.76%) were doubtful. In Qazvin province, 3 out of 20 (15%) farms were positive and 17 out of 20(85%) were negative; also, 74 out of 1000 (7.4%) sera were positive, 46 out of 1000 (4.6%) were doubtful and880 out of 1000 (88%) were negative. As seroprevalence of Mg infection in these two provinces which are veryimportant areas in poultry production in Iran were low,so it seems that using live vaccine against Mg needs morestudies. However, molecular identifcation should be used for completing this fnding and biosecurity notices arevery important for controlling of Mg. Manuscript profile
