Since the work of J.J. Heckel (1846-1849), the number of valid species has increased significantly and the systematic status of many of the species has changed, and reorganization and updating of the published information has become essential. Here we take the opportunity to provide a new and updated checklist of freshwater fishes of Iran based on literature and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history and new fish collections. This article lists 288 species in 107 genera, 28 families, 22 orders and 3 classes reported from different Iranian basins. However, presence of 23 reported species in Iranian waters needs confirmation by specimens.

  • Relationship of Tectonic and Mineralization in Axle of Kahyaz- Chah Eshkaft
    The 1 st International Applied Geological Congress, Department of Geology, Islamic Azad University - Mashad Branch, Iran, 26-28 April 2010 Relationship of Tectonic and mineralization in axle of Kahyaz- Chah eshkaft. By: Zahra Ketabipoor*, Dr. Ramin Arfania** , Dr.Bahram Samani*** Extract The range of issue discussed here is about the part of Alpied Folded Belt and an area from Volcano- Plotonic of Central Iran. This area is located in Northeast of Isfahan province and Northeast of Ardestan province. The most part of the size of this area is covered by volcano-plutonic rocks, Eocene, Oligocene and Pliocene rocks and only at the North part of it a narrow band of Quaternar Deposits can be seen. In Shahrab zone and mentioned area which is part of Shahrab, there are some structures with Northeast-Southwest and East-West, and Northwest-Southeast trends which are the faults with pull- apart structures with East-West and Northeast-Southwest trends and are related to Neogene and compressive structures with Northwest-Southeast trends and postEosene-Oligocene. The faults of this zone mostly have both Strike-Slip and Dip-Slip features which is indicated that this zone is located in a shear zone. The researches in relations between Geological structures and Mineralization in this area implied that mineralizations are located in active tectono-magmatic zone and mostly in active tectono-magmatic Neogene zone which are mostly related to pull-apart structure and are different based on tectono-magmatic activities and the type of magmatism happened in each part of Minerogenesis. 1. INTRODUCTION: The formation of mineral sources naturally is affected by litho logy, geology formations, tectonic structures and magmatism complex.

Methods: This study was conducted on neonates who were born from March 21, 2006 to March 20, 2011 and had undergone the congenital hypothyroidism (CH) screening program in counties affiliated to the Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. CH was diagnosed in 958 patients who treated with levothyroxine. The incidence rates of permanent and temporary congenital hypothyroidism in Isfahan province were calculated and their distribution was shown on the map. The space maps were drawn using the ArcGIS software version 9.3. Results: Based on the data obtained from the screening program, the average incidence of congenital hypothyroidism in the province during the period of 2006–2011 was 2.40 infants per 1000 live births (including both PCH and TCH). The most common occurrence was in Ardestan County (10:1000) and the lowest overall incidence was observed in the Fereydounshahr county (1.39:1000). The incidence of PCH in the counties of Ardestan and Golpayegan had the highest rate in all years of study; and the greatest number of TCH cases in the five years were observed in Nain, Natanz, Khansar and Chadegan counties.

    J Arthropod-Borne Dis, September 2017, 11(3): 433–440 R Dehghani and H Kassiri: Geographical … Short Communication Geographical Distribution of Scorpion Odontobuthus doriae in Isfahan Province, Central Iran Rouhullah Dehghani 1, *Hamid Kassiri 2 1Social Determinants of Health (SDH) Research Center, Kashan University of Medical Sciences, Kashan, Iran 2Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, School of Health, Ahvaz, Iran (Received 13 Sep 2016; accepted 21 Aug 2017) Abstract Background: Scorpions are among the world’s venomous arthropods, they sting humans every year, suffering pain- ful symptoms or losing their lives because of the venom. Odontobuthus doriae Thorell 1876 (Arachnida: Scorpi- onida: Buthidae) is a scorpion of medical importance and therefore its geographical distribution in Isfahan Province has been studied. Methods: This descriptive cross–sectional study was designed between Mar and Jun in 2012 and 2013 in Province of Isfahan, central Iran. Overall, 164 O. doriae scorpions were collected from their natural habitat by identifying the dug burrows. This arthropod’s burrows were identified based on the presence of tumuli, particularly between May and Jun at the sloping foothills of pristine embankments. The sampling data was categorized and compared. Results: The relative frequency of collected O. doriae for the counties was Mobarakeh (13.5%), Shahinshahre (11.5%), Borkhar (9%), Shahreza (7.5%), Kashan (7.5%), Naeen (6%), Natanz (5.5%), Isfahan (4.8%), Najafabad (4.8%), Aran and Bidgol (4.8%), Dehaghan (4.8%), Flavarjan (3.7%), Khomeinishahr (3.7%), Tiran (3.7%), Gol- payegan (3.7%), Ardestan (3.7%) and Lenjan (2.5%).

  • Agroclimatic Zones Map of Iran Explanatory Notes
    AGROCLIMATIC ZONES MAP OF IRAN EXPLANATORY NOTES E. De Pauw1, A. Ghaffari2, V. Ghasemi3 1 Agroclimatologist/ Research Project Manager, International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), Aleppo Syria 2 Director-General, Drylands Agricultural Research Institute (DARI), Maragheh, Iran 3 Head of GIS/RS Department, Soil and Water Research Institute (SWRI), Tehran, Iran INTRODUCTION The agroclimatic zones map of Iran has been produced to as one of the outputs of the joint DARI-ICARDA project “Agroecological Zoning of Iran”. The objective of this project is to develop an agroecological zones framework for targeting germplasm to specific environments, formulating land use and land management recommendations, and assisting development planning. In view of the very diverse climates in this part of Iran, an agroclimatic zones map is of vital importance to achieve this objective. METHODOLOGY Spatial interpolation A database was established of point climatic data covering monthly averages of precipitation and temperature for the main stations in Iran, covering the period 1973-1998 (Appendix 1, Tables 2-3). These quality-controlled data were obtained from the Organization of Meteorology, based in Tehran. From Iran 126 stations were accepted with a precipitation record length of at least 20 years, and 590 stations with a temperature record length of at least 5 years. The database also included some precipitation and temperature data from neighboring countries, leading to a total database of 244 precipitation stations and 627 temperature stations. The ‘thin-plate smoothing spline’ method of Hutchinson (1995), as implemented in the ANUSPLIN software (Hutchinson, 2000), was used to convert this point database into ‘climate surfaces’.
