Population genetic analysis of Ixodes tick species and Toxoplasma gondii in Tunisia and their relationships to global populations
There are differences in the activity dynamics of I ricinus populations found in North African countries which are probably due to differences in microclimate (temperature, humidity and rainfall) and hosts’ availability ...
First report of tick-borne encephalitis seroprevalence in sheep in North Africa
Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEv), is a flavivirus, that circulates in complex cycle involving small mammals as amplifying hosts and ticks as vectors and reservoirs. Current study aimed to investigate the presence of ...
Use of Conservation Agriculture in Crop-Livestock Systems (CLCA) in the Drylands for Enhanced Water Use Efficiency, Soil Fertility and Productivity in NEN And LAC Countries: Completion Report – Appendix
The supplementary tables appendix of the completion report of the project titled “USE OF CONSERVATION AGRICULTURE IN CROP-LIVESTOCK SYSTEMS IN THE DRYLANDS For Enhanced Water Use Efficiency, Soil Fertility and Productivity ...
Risk maps of ticks and tick-borne diseases in sheep
In Tunisia, sheep are exposed to multiple parasites and pathogens, which has a high economic impact and handicap market access, especially for poor farmers. Rhipicephalus spp. and Hyalomma spp. ticks are competent vectors ...
Genetic structuration of tick Tunisian populations and effect of plant essential oils on symbiotic bacteria diversity
- Study by NGS the diversity of Hyalomma ticks microbiota from different species, regions, stages, physiological states, wild or from colonies using a model major tick species well mastered in the laboratory of Parasitology ...
Progress report on modeling geographic distribution of Rhipicephalus sanguineus s.l. in Tunisia
In the present work, we built a model to predict habitat suitability of ticks of Rhipicephalus sanguineus group in order to raise awareness about ticks and tick-borne pathogens in Tunisia. This study could also be extrapolated ...
Technical Report for Training on Using Open Data Kit (ODK) in animal health surveys
A total number of 34 participants (17 males and 17 females) from Tunisian and Algerian institutions participated to the training: National School of Veterinary Medicine of Sidi Thabet (NSVM), The Institute of Veterinary ...
Analysis of co-infection with Neospora caninum and Toxoplasma gondii in Tunisian sheep
Co-infection with N. caninum and T. gondii has been detected in several species worldwide. It has been detected in rabbits (Hughes et al., 2008), domestic camelids (Pardini et al., 2008), cats (Hamidinejat et al., 2011 ; ...
Genetic structuration of tick Tunisian populations and the effect of plant essential oils on symbiotic bacteria diversity
Objectives
- Study by NGS the diversity of Hyalomma tick's microbiota from different species, regions, stages, sex, hosts and the genus of Haemaphysalis and Rhipiciphalus collected from cattle considering the dominant ...
Phenotyping local Tunisian sheep breeds for resistance to tick infestation and to Theileria/Babesia infection
At first step, the measurement of phenotypic indicators regarding tick infestation resistance in both Barbarine and QFO sheep breeds will provide useful information for genetic resistance study orientation. The findings ...
