        A cross sectional study was performed to find out and compare the infection rate to BHV-1 of dairy cattles in Urmia and Maku. Random sampling in three age groups of (3-4, 5-6 and 7 years and more) was done. In every region 22 cattle herds were selected, from each cattle More
        A cross sectional study was performed to find out and compare the infection rate to BHV-1 of dairy cattles in Urmia and Maku. Random sampling in three age groups of (3-4, 5-6 and 7 years and more) was done. In every region 22 cattle herds were selected, from each cattle herd 10 cows were picked out and a sample of milk was collected from each cow. Individual milk samples were investigated by indirect ELISA method in order to determine the presence of BHV-1 antibodies in the sample. By determining the OD of the samples and the percentage of positive and negative ELISA, the results were compared. Data analysis was performed by SPSS (Ver.16) and S-plus 2000 software with Mann-Whitney, Chi- square and Kruskal-Wallis tests to find out the difference between the average infection in the two regions and the difference between the total average of infection rate between the age groups (p<0.05). The results showed that the rate of infection in Maku was 34/08% (with 75 positive milk samples) and in Urmia it was 13/04% (with 29 positive milk samples). It shows that the rate of infection in Maku is much higher to the extent that a significant difference in the infection rate between the two regions is observed. Also upon the study of the total average of infection rate between the age groups of the two regions the rate of infection cases in the first group (32%) was meaningfully higher than the other two age groups amounting to 14% and 6% respectivety.                                               Manuscript profile

        The present study aims to determine the rate of infestation to external parasites, determine the fauna (genus and species) and also investigation their role in transmission of protozoan infections in goat in maku region. This survey was conducted from March 2010 (Farvardin 1389) to April 2011 (Esfand 1389). The data was analyzed by SPSS software (Ver. 16) .The results revealed that 137 goats (33.5%) were infested by hard ticks. There weren`t any infestation by other external parasites (mite, lice, flea, myias). The whole detected ticks were 435 and each goat had an average of 1.08 ticks. The identified hard ticks on goats in respect to their prevalence were Rhipicephalus bursa (68.50%),Hyaloma anatolicum.anatolicum (16.32%), Rhipicephalus sanguineus (9.46%), Haemaphysalis punctata(3.21%) and Dermacentor marginatus( 2.52%). Distribution of ticks over different parts of the body surface was as follows: groin and breasts (50.80%), head and neck (25.05%), subscapula (13.10%) and genital organs and under tail (11.03%). Out of 137 positive samples 103 goats (25.75%) were infected with Babesia, out of which 87 goats (84.46%), 12 goats (11.65%) and 5 goats (3.89%) infected with B. ovis, B. mutasi and mixed infection with B. ovis and B. mutasi, respectively. There wasn`t any infection with Theileria and Anaplasma. The results indicated that infections with Rhipicephalus bursa was the highest in goats in Maku region, and among protozoan infections, B. ovis infection was the highest one , that is the frequency of Rhipicephalus bursa in comparison to other kinds of detected ticks among positive samples of Babesia was high and is meaningful (p<0.05).                                                                      Manuscript profile

        Unstable natural slopes by mass movements are one of the phenomena that creates most damages to human after flood and earthquake. These movements occur under the influence of parameters such as temperature difference, precipitation, glacial, height, slope, geology, land form, distance from fault, distance from river, distance from roads and ... Therefore in addition to identify levels having the risk of slope movements this study aims to analyze the most suitable model to recognize these zones by field data and using above information and modeling methods such as AHP and TOPSIS. The results indicated that AHP model presented the most suitable zoning of slope movements. Based on the map resulted from this model  the areas with high potential slope movements had slope between 10 and 20 percent and height about 1600 to 1900 meters and they were composed of limestone and included 28% of the study area.

        The objective of this study is to investigate fertility rate and determine plasma levels of ovarian hormones in the Makuii breed ewe treated by CIDR and PMSG. This investigation conducted in 80 fat-tailed Makuii breed ewes during the breeding season. All animals were divided randomly into four groups then a single intramuscular (IM) injection of PMSG (group 1, 300 IU; group 2, 400 IU; group 3, 500 IU, group 4) was made apart from 1 ml normal saline solution which was used as control group at the time of CIDR removal. Blood samples collected from the jugular vein at the days of CIDR insert removal, Estrus after PMSG treatment and the day 30 of pregnancy for the determination of plasma E2 and P4 concentrations. Estrus responses were similar in all groups. Pregnancy rates were 85%, 90%, 95% and 64.7% in groups 1, 2, 3 and the control group, respectively. Pregnancy rates were higher in groups 1, 2 and 3 than in control group (P<0.05). There were significant differences (P<0.05) between the treatment groups and the control group regarding the plasma E2 levels at days of CIDR insert and estrus. Differences between the treated and the control animals in the Plasma P4 levels at day estrus and the day 30 of pregnancy were significant (P<0.05). The result of current research showed that an injection of PMSG after CIDR removal can be more effective on the fertility response of Makuii breed ewes during breeding season. Manuscript profile
