Abstract
Background and Objective: At present, malaria is considered as one of the most important health problem in many countries. The present study aimed to evaluate the epidemiology of malaria in Babol, Mazandaran.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from May to November 2010. The required information of disease and demographic characteristics of patients were collected from The Vice-Chancellery
for Health of Babol University of Medical Sciences. SPSS v16 software were used to analyze data and create tables and graphs.
Findings: A total of 262 malaria cases were reported during 1986 to 2009, that 79.4% of them were male and others were female. The highest incidence rate of the disease was observed in cases more than 15 years old (88.5%), in 1986 (18.3%), with a peak in July. ABER (Annual Blood Examination Rate), API (Annual Parasite Incidence) and SPR (Slide Positivity Rate) indicators have declined over the years. The strongest positive correlation was observed between malaria incidence and minimum air temperature (r=+991, p<0.05). In contrast, the incidence of malaria had the strongest negative correlation with the relative humidity at noon (r=863, p< 0.05).
Conclusion: The findings show a downward trend in the malaria incidence rate in Babol. Regarding the malaria eradication program in Iran until 2025, similar studies are recommended in the other parts of the country, particularly in endemic areas of the South and South-Eastern areas.

Abstract
Background and Objective: Mites are small arthropods with economical, medical and veterinary importance. Tyrophagus putrescentiae invade the fungal cultures and can lead to several damages in cultures. Thus, the aims of this study were to identify and control of mites in contaminated fungal cultures.
Case Report: Mites were collected from contaminated fungal cultures in the mycology laboratory of mycology department in Babol University of Medical Sciences. Then, the collected mites were identified at the species level using valid diagnostic keys.
Conclusion: T. putrescentiae is a detrimental pest which damages fungal cultures. Moreover it can lead to allergies. Therefore, preventive approaches are essential to minimize the pest infestations.

Abstract
Background and Objective: Blood suking arthropoda such as animal ticks transmit pathogenic agents to human and other animals. They inject saliva into the skin of their hosts and cause dermatitis. In this case report, we present a dermatitis case caused by the larval hard tick.
Case report: The Five-member family referred to Ali-ebn-Moosar-Reza Health-care center in Babol due to dermal complications. They complained of irritation, itching and the pain caused by tiny live arthropoda biting. We caught samples of larval tick from their clothing, body, and home that were being identified as the larval hard tick.
Conclusion: This case report reveals the importance of arthropods causing dermatitis in human. Infestation with ticks may be accompanied by clinical signs such as itching, severe irritation, etc. Further studies would be necessary to better understand of reaction types that occur after a ticks bite.
