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 molecular isolation of Mycoplasma ovis from small ruminants in North Africa
Eperythrozoonosis is a small ruminant disease caused by the bacterium Mycoplasma ovis (formerly known as Eperythrozoon ovis). Whilst acute infection in sheep may result in an anaemia and ill thrift syndrome, most animals ...
Phenotypic characterization of Tunisian sheep breeds for resistance to abomasal parasites
The aim of this work is to study the genetic resistance of the Barbarine sheep to GIN infestation. This is a preliminary paper about the phenotypic measurements that were collected and compiled in a single phenotype database. ...
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 ...
Les Anémies chez les Ruminants, ENMV
a) Troubles de l’érythropoïèse et de l’érythrolyse; b) Hémostase; c) Prélèvements et Numération/Formule sanguine chez les ruminants; d) Parasites causant des anémies chez les ruminants; e) Causes infectieuses des anémies ...
In vitro evidence that the pastoral Artemisia campestris species exerts an anthelmintic effect on Haemonchus contortus from sheep
Occurrence of anthelmintic resistant strains of helminths
is increasing. The aim of this study was to evaluate the
in vitro anthelmintic activity of Artemisia campestris in comparison
to albendazole against Haemonchus ...
Les interactions entre les parasites (Toxoplasma gondii et Haemonchus contortus) et la fonction de reproduction chez les ovins
The reproductive function is affected by several environmental constraints including
health problems. In small ruminants, the interaction between parasite infestations and infections
and reproductive function has been ...
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 ...
First Molecular Identification and Genetic Characterization of Theileria lestoquardi in Sheep of the Maghreb Region
Theileria lestoquardi is the most prominent Theileria species in small ruminants
that causes malignant theileriosis of sheep in Africa and Asia. In the present survey,
blood samples and ticks were collected in Kebili ...
Ticks of Tunisia, a review
Ticks are ectoparasites of wild and domestic animals and vectors for several pathogens of medical importance and are at the origin of dramatic losses in livestock production. In Tunisia, a total of 18 tick species belonging ...
