Abstract
Kashafrood River is the largest river in the North East of the country that originates from the mountains of Hezarmasjed and Binalud. Kashfrood River is 290 km in length, eight Cal from the city of Mashhad past and come to the river. The eight-Cal are: Cal Cyas, Parkandabad Cal, Cal cis-Abad, Cal Altymvr, Cal Knvgrd, Cal Iqbal, Cal Torog and Cal Mohammadabad that wastewater Rajai areas, Golshahr, Mehrabad, Altymvr, Cumanshahr, Khwaja Rabi and Ismail Abad com in Kashafrood. In order to purify the water, four water treatment Olang, Arab Khin, Altymvr and Torog are employed along the way. Around of this river is 1,700 hectares of agricultural land. Therefore, ensure the health of the river in the area of public health and food safety is very important. During eleven times this year and took samples from 12 stations, these stations have been chosen so that the branches of the rivers, Cal input and ranges before and after the treatment is covered. The results showed that the most abundant parasites: Giardia lamblia, Trichomonas vaginali, Criptosporidium sp, Entamoeba histolytica and Balantidium coli, Dieantomeba fragilis, Endolimax nana, Normarsk sp, Iodamoeba butschlii and Chylvmastks mesnili with less frequency rates have been observed.
