Using direct agglutination tests, a survey of visceral leishmaniasis was carried out among children and adults from 13 villages and from nomadic tribes in Bushehr province during 1998-99. Of the 1496 plasma samples, the overall seropositive rate [titres > or = 1: 3200] was 3.4%. Almost all cases [94.1%] were in children under 10 years old. Eighteen patients were diagnosed with kala azar; fever and splenomegaly were the predominant signs and symptoms. Parasitology and serology examinations of local animals identified dogs and jackals infected with Leishmania infantum. Suggestions for control of visceral leishmaniasis in this area are to eliminate stray dogs, identify cases among humans and suspected leashed dogs, and treat infected individuals.

In the current article, we studied the impact of the “Turkism” factor on Iran-Azerbaijan relations after the USSR collapse. Conditionally, we can consider that “Turkism” was formed in 1991-1993, and it began to spread in 1993-2003. In 2003-2016, “Turkism” became one of the effective instruments of putting pressure on Iran. During Abulfaz Elchibey’s presidency (1992-1993) in Azerbaijan, Baku’s actions were a direct threat to Iran’s territorial integrity. During Heydar Aliyev’s presidency (1993-2003), instead of openly speculating on “Turkism” factor, Azerbaijan’s new authorities began to form turkic nationalistic groups with Turkey’s help. During the second phase of Ilham Aliyev’s presidency, “Turkism” became one of the most effective instruments of putting pressure on Iran, and the Azerbaijani authorities adopted a more aggressive policy. In the last decade, due to developments in Atropatene (the provinces of East Azerbaijan and West Azerbaijan), the threat of the “Turkism” factor has significantly increased. The government of Hassan Rouhani, the current president of the Islamic Republic of Iran, has made a number of reforms in order to satisfy the needs of Iran’s Turkic-speaking population and to prevent contrasts. Therefore, he in fact deprived Azerbaijan of the opportunity to speculate “Turkism” question.

Between 1991-2000, Leishmania species were isolated and characterized by isoenzyme and molecular analysis from rodents caught in various parts of the Islamic Republic of Iran. In areas endemic for cutaneous leishmaniasis, parasites were observed by direct microscopy in smears from 18.6% of 566 specimens. L. major was isolated from 4 species:Rhombomys opimus, Meriones libycus, Tatera indica and Mer. hurrianae. L. turanica was isolated from R. opimus for the first time in this country. In endemic areas of visceral leishmaniasis, parasites were observed in liver and spleen from 13.7% of 504 rodents. Two species were positive on culture; promastigotes isolated from Mer. persicus were characterized as L. donovani zymodeme LON50 and from Mesocricetus auratus as L. infantum LON49
