Abstract(Please copy/paste the abstract send to the congress) : Abstract



Background: Tick-borne diseases are of the most important diseases in the world including Iran. This survey was conducted to understand the eco-epidemiology of tick-borne hemoparasitic diseases in Qazvin province, Iran, using Geospatial Information System (GIS).
Materials and Methods: DNA samples were extracted from livestock blood samples collected from different regions of Qazvin province. 18S rRNA-based PCR targeted Theileria/ Babesia species were done. Initial parameters for mapping the local tick-borne hemoparasitic diseases and raster files were obtained from Iran Meteorological Organization and Iranian Space Agency. Mapping of the parameters in relation to prevalence of these diseases were done. Statistical analysis was used for weighting parameters ranking and predicting spatial distribution in different climatic zones.
Results: Vapor pressure, precipitation, and altitude are of several environmental factors correlated with tick abundances. Based on the generated maps and the results of this survey, some predicting results could be used for predicting tick-borne diseases and their control. 9.7% of ruminant blood samples (N=16) were infected with protozoa pathogens from the genera Theileria and all of the specimens were negative regarding to Babesia genera.
Conclusion: Results showed that prediction of a very high prevalence of Theileria/Babesia species and mapping endangered area is possible in different parts of Iran. Based on the environmental conditions, key factors exist for host-seeking and range expansion of ticks.

If yes, please write the names of the organizations in the box :  
What were the responses to your talking points? Were specific questions or concerns raised? : It was so intrest for Novelty and innovation in usingThe Eco-Epidemiology of Tick-Borne Hemoparasitic Diseases Using Geographic Information Systems
 
If you met staff members, please list their full names & positions. : OK I met meny staff members for exampel Dr. Ashwani Kumar M.S.Ch.FIACS , Dr Jagdish Prassad Diroctor General Of Health Services, Dr L.S. Chanuhan Director(NCDC) and..
Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress : Indeed the congress was so scientfic for our subjectand fllowing any acction need to be expert in particular subject.therefore in order to following any possible action it is essential to ask expertise person to give some commends. Fortunatly before travling at the India, I and my collegues have phone contact with organizer of congress directly to clarify and possible problems. we also booked high quality accommodation in Goa as well as transport. So there was no any curical problem during this travel.
Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : It is better idea to book 5 star hole in India and High Quality Flight.
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : The opening celebration and introduction of congress was performed in Kala Academy college with more than 300 attendances.
During this gathering program organizers and sponsors were introduced and than three main speakers talked about general problem of infection disease in India and other Country , Fainaly the aim of this congress was explained detalls.
then all attendances were transfrered to a hotel in the center of panjim City, Hotel Fidalgo. The programs of congress run during three days and between breaks, there were good opportune time to talk to other Scientist about their presentTION, iN ADDITION AT top floor of the Hotel, there was a hall used for posters exhibition Subject of some posters was so intesting and and I take photo from those to read them later properly. At the end of each day of congress there was program for given awareness gift and also presenting Indian Music. The hospitality was good and very Kind.
thank you
