These insects were collected from three of the city hospitals of Iran. Fifteen cockroaches were caught from mentioned hospitals using direct collection. The washing fluid from the external surface of each cockroach was cultured. The isolated bacteria were identified using bacteriological analysis. Results showed that all the cockroaches were positive for at least three bacteria. Nine different species of medically important bacteria were isolated and identified. The most common bacteria found were Escherichia coli, 86.7% and Proteus vulgaris, 73.3%. In addition to these bacteria, Bacillus cereus, 66.7%, Streptococcus faecalis, 60%, Staphylococcus aureus, 60%, Enterobacter cloacae, 53.3%, Shigella, 33.3%, Serratia, 13.3% and Staphylococcus epidermidis, 6.7%, were the least recorded of all the samples analyzed.

PhD in Meteorology, Department of Natural Geography, Kharazmi University, Tehran 2. Professor of Climatology, Department of Natural Geography, Kharazmi University, Tehran 3. Associate Professor of Meteorology, Meteorological Research Institute (Received 24 September 2019 –Accept 25 January 2020) Extended Abstract Introduction Changes in climate systems are one of the most challenging environmental phenomena and depend on the human application systems in various fields such as agriculture, industry and so on. This is a pervasive environmental phenomenon in climate change that affects environ-mental characteristics such as evaporation, precipitation characteristics, drought, rising sea levels, displacement of high pressures, and so on. Meanwhile, drought is a frequent climate phenomenon in climate systems that its effects are not limited to arid and semi-arid regions. Given the relationship between climate change and drought, such as understanding the behavior and complexity of climatic systems, or the performance of human activities, causing turbulence and complexity. If this relation does not determine, environmental resources may be out of balance and in most cases, it may be endangered. Therefore, identifying and evaluating these changes in general will be an important step in predicting change trends, and ultimately environmental sustainability. Therefore, it can be said that identifying the behavior of these systems on issues such as displacement of sub- tropical high-pressure boundary, or the occurrence of droughts necessitates the interaction of quantitative and qualitative studies.

  • Effects of Climate Variables on the Incidence of Scorpion Stings in Iran for Five Years
    RESEARCH OPEN ACCESS ISSN 1678-9199 www.jvat.org Effects of climate variables on the incidence of scorpion stings in Iran for five years Ahmad Ghorbani1, Behzad Mansouri2, Masoumeh Baradaran1* 1Toxicology Research Center, Medical Basic Sciences Institute, Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Ahvaz, Iran. 2Department of Statistics, Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz, Ahvaz, Iran. Abstract Background: Although scorpionism is recorded worldwide, some regions such as Iran present a higher incidence. Due to the great prevalence of scorpion stings in Khuzestan province, southwestern Iran, the present study examined the relationship between different climate parameters and the scorpion sting rate in this area from April 2010 to March 2015. Methods: In this cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study, we considered all scorpion sting cases recorded in the Department of Infectious Diseases, Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences. Data were analyzed using statistics, frequency distribution Keywords: and Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Scorpion stings Results: A total of 104,197 cases of scorpion stings was recorded from 2010 to 2015. Climate factors The cumulative incidence of scorpion sting was 2.23%. The spatial distribution Scorpionism of scorpion stings showed that most cases occurred in the Dehdez district (4,504 Khuzestan province scorpion stings/100,000 inhabitants) and the Masjed Soleyman county (4,069 scorpion stings/100,000 inhabitants). A significant association was found between climate factors Iran (temperature, evaporation rate, sunshine duration, humidity, and precipitation) and the scorpion sting rate. An increase in rainfall and humidity coincided with a reduction in scorpion stings whereas an increase in temperature, evaporation, and sunshine duration was accompanied by a growth of scorpion stings.

Khuzestan Province is one of the main foci of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (ZCL) in the southwest of Iran. We aimed to predict the spatial distribution of the vector and reservoir(s) of ZCL using decision-making tool and to pre- pare risk map of the disease using integrative GIS, RS and AHP methods in endemic foci in Shush (plain area) and Khorramshahr (coastal area) counties of Khuzestan Province, southern Iran from Mar 2012 to Jan 2013. Methods: Thirteen criteria including temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, soil texture, soil organic matter, soil pH, soil moisture, altitude, land cover, land use, underground water depth, distance from river, slope and distance from human dwelling with the highest chance of the presence of the main vector and reservoir of the disease were chosen for this study.

ABSTRACT Introduction and Objectives: Nearly two-thousand scorpion species have been identified worldwide, twenty-five of which have health importance. Each year approximately half a million individuals are stung by scorpions in the world with a fatality rate of 3250 people. In Iran, there are nearly 40000 cases in a year and the numbers of recorded deaths are between 14-29 people. Scorpionism is one of the most significant medical subjects in Iran especially in the southern areas; so that Khuzestan Province is one of the most significant foci of scorpionism. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the epidemiological characteristics of the individuals stung by scorpions in Khorramshahr region, Khuzestan province, Southwestern Iran. Materials and Methods: In this analytic descriptive study, all patients with scorpion sting were assessed from 2013 to 2017. Data regarding the patient's age, gender, site of the sting, month of envenomation, administration of scorpion antivenin, time of the sting, geographical area, and the color of scorpion were extracted and recorded.

It is located in the Persian Gulf 19kms from mainland Iran. The Island is positioned along the 1359km long Iranian coastline north of the Persian Gulf, at the first quarter from the hormuz entrance to the Gulf. Its longitudinal and latitudinal positions are 2632 and 53.58 degrees respectively. The Island is 15.45kms long from west coast to the east coast. Its maximum width extending from the southern shorelines to the northern shorelines is 7.5kms.
