Babesia and Theileria are two protozoa belonging to the phylum Apicomplexa, which result in babesiosis and theileriosis in different hosts, cause considerable problems in domestic animals and as a consequence economic losses. These two diseases are transmitted by ticks. This survey was carried out due to the lack of studies and information regarding tick vectors and Theileria and Babesia species in the Dehgolan area of Iran, which is a center of agriculture and animal holding industry. This study was conducted during a four-year period, between 2012 and 2016. Infection with Theileria and Babesia was observed throughout the year while in contrast to cattle and sheep, infection with Babesia in goats was not observed between December and February. Infection with Babesia and Theileria reached the highest peak in July and this was more considerable for Theileria in cattle and sheep with a prevalence of 37–47% and 46–79%, respectively. The infection rate in goats for both diseases was 20%. The results in this study showed that Imidocarb Diproprionate and Buparvaquone are effective treatments for Babesia and Theileria, respectively. In this survey, the ticks of Rhipicephalus spp. and Hyalomma anatolicum had the highest infection rate with Babesia and Theileria, respectively. Considering the significant relationship between the prevalence of Theileria and Babesia with tick infection in this study and other studies, more studies on climate changes and tick vector prevalence are necessary.

Peppermint (Mentha piperita L.), a member of Lamiaceae family, is an important medicinal plant that has many useful properties. Copper is an essential micronutrient for normal plant growth and metabolism.The aim of this study was to examine the effects of copper sulphate and copper nanoparticles on morpho-physiological traits and essential oil composition of peppermint. Seven treatments of copper sulphate and copper nanoparticles in three concentrations (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 g/l) and control were applied in foliar application three times of the interval of 15 days up to flowering stages of peppermint in Karaj, Iran in 2015. Copper nanoparticles (1.0 g/l) increased chlorophyll content and essential oil percentage of 35% and 20% higher than control, respectively. The copper sulfate (0.5 g/l) increased dry matter yield up to 58% higher than control. The effects of treatments were significant on 17 out of 34 compositions. Copper nanoparticles (1.0 g/l) increased menthol, menthone and menthofuran content up to 15, 25 and 65% higher than in control, respectively. Foliar application of copper sulfate (0.5 g/l) and copper nanoparticles (1.0 g/l) in flowering stage were suggested for increase of dry matter production, essential oil content and composition, respectively.

Mięta pieprzowa (Mentha piperita L.) z rodziny Lamiaceae jest ważną rośliną leczniczą o wielu zastosowaniach. Miedź jest ważnym mikroelementem niezbędnym do prawidłowego wzrostu i metabolizmu roślin. Celem pracy było zbadanie wpływu siarczanu miedzi i nanocząstek miedzi na cechy morfologiczne i fizjologiczne oraz na skład olejku eterycznego mięty pieprzowej. Siarczan miedzi i nanocząstki miedzi podawano dolistnie trzykrotnie w odstępie 15 dni aż do fazy kwitnienia. Hodowano także grupę kontrolną w trzech stężeniach (0,5, 1,0 i 1,5 g/l). Badanie przeprowadzono w Karaj w Iranie. Nanocząstki miedzi (1,0 g/l) spowodowały wzrost zawartości chlorofilu i olejku eterycznego (w %), odpowiednio o 35 i 20% w stosunku do grupy kontrolnej. Siarczan miedzi (0,5 g/l) zwiększał suchą masę surowca o 58% w porównaniu z grupą kontrolną. Wpływ nawożenia był istotny statystycznie w przypadku 17 związków spośród 34 składników olejku. Nanocząstki miedzi (1,0 g/l) zwiększyły zawartość mentolu, mentonu i mentofuranu odpowiednio do 15, 25 i 65% w porównaniu z grupą kontrolną. Podanie dolistne siarczanu miedzi (0,5 g/l) i nanocząstek miedzi (1,0 g/l) w stadium kwitnienia może powodować zwiększenie produkcji suchej masy surowca oraz wpływać na zawartość i skład olejku eterycznego.

Buxtonellosis is a disease caused by the ciliated protozoan Buxtonella sulcata (Jameson, 1926). B. sulcata is a common protozoan of ruminants and may result in subclinical infection or clinical disease including diarrhea. This study examined the prevalence of B. sulcata in cattle from Sanadaj province, Iran. Faecal samples were collected from cattle in the province from May 2013 to June 2014. A total of 217 cattle were selected randomly according to the age, sex, health, management system and season. In total, 99 cattle (45.63%) were found to be infected with B. sulcata. In adults, prevalence of B. sulcata infection (51.64%) was higher than calves (28.58%) and young cattle (40.55%). The prevalence of B. sulcata infection was also found to be higher in female (47.32%) than male (38.46) cattle. B. sulcata infection was significantly (p<0.05) higher in poor health cattle (body condition and weight) (79.54%) than healthy cattle (24.47%). This study demonstrates that cattle are highly susceptible to B. sulcata infection under a variety of housing and environmental conditions in this region of Iran. The study also demonstrates a significant effect of infection on cattle health.
