This is a case-control study in which 80 patients and 80 healthy students were examined. The formal validity and content of the questionnaire used was confirmed by the experts and the outbreak team. For data analysis, binary logistic regression and odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were by SPSS-19 software. In this study, cantaloupe syrup with the odds ratio of 47.37 had the highest factor in the incidence of disease. In the next stage, dinner and rice dinner with a chance ratio of 4.25 and 3.12 respectively, remained significantly in the model. Due to the high chance of cantaloupe syrup in this study and the available records such as laboratory confirmation of the presence of Escherichia coli O157: H7 in human samples and the report of the outbreak team on the preparation of cantaloupe syrup using a sitting meat grinder and also confirm similar studies in Possibility of presence Escherichia coli in raw foods such as meat, it can be concluded that the source of this outbreak was cantaloupe syrup contaminated with Escherichia coli O157: H7 via meat grinder.Keywords: Outbreak, Escherichia coli, Shiga toxin, O157: H7, Yazd.

Visceral leishmaniosis (Kala-azar) is the fatal form of leishmaniosis which is sporadic in many parts and endemic in some parts of Iran. Regarding to the dogs are the most important reservoir for human visceral leishmaniosis the present study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence rate of canine leishmaniosis in stray dogs in Yazd city and its public health hazard. Blood samples were randomly collected from 100 stray dogs from municipality animal shelter in Yazd city after complete clinical examination. All collected sera were tested by a commercial indirect ELISA kit (ID-VET, France) for the presence of anti leishmania infantum antibodies. Bassed to the results, seroprevalence was 1%, which emphasized that Yazd city is a non-endemic area. On the spite of the low prevalence of disease in stray dogs in Yazd city, reports of infantile infection from Shahid Sadooghi hospital and presence of different species of sand flies in Yazd showed that there is a need for the implementation of a fieldwork monitoring system for the disease surveillance in animal reservoirs, vectors and high risk population in different geographical parts of Yazd province.
