First detection and molecular identification of Neospora caninum from naturally infected cattle and sheep in North Africa
Studies in other regional slaughterhouses are necessary to
estimate the geographical prevalence of N caninum infection in
Tunisian cattle and sheep and to better explore the role of this
parasite in both cattle and sheep ...
Population dynamics of ticks infesting sheep in the arid steppes of Tunisia
This study aimed to determine tick population dynamics infesting sheep in Gafsa
region (Central Tunisia). Ticks were collected monthly over a year, from October 2013 to September 2014, from 57–64 randomly-included ...
Seasonal variation of lungworm infestation of ewes at Sidi Bouzid slaughterhouse (Central Tunisia)
Respiratory strongyloses are among the most important diseases affecting sheep
reared in various farming systems in many countries. In Tunisia, farmers without
any scientific background carry out the control of these ...
First molecular detection and phylogenetic analyses of Neospora caninum from naturally infected sheep in North Africa
Neospora caninum is a protozoan parasite from the phylum Apicomplexa. This parasite is as
one of the major causative abortive agents in the dairy cattle industry. Moreover, abortions in
sheep due to N. caninum have been ...
Molecular infection prevalence of ruminants' Tunisian meat by three protozoa: Toxoplasma gondii. Neospora caninum and Sarcocystic spp.
The authors present herein molecular studies of these three protozoa infection prevalence in Tunisian beef, lamb and goat meats.
Differences in tick infestation of Tunisian sheep breeds
Different infestation patterns by ixodid ticks were studied in three sheep breeds in Tunisia: Barbarine, Queue
Fine de l'Ouest and their cross-bred animals. During one year, 700 sheep were monitored and examined for ...
L'haemonchose ovine
This factsheet is related to haemonchosis in sheep. Haemonchus contortus is an endoparasite of the sheep abomasum and is responsible of causing important economic losses in sheep flocks. Control measures are mainly chemical ...
First detection and molecular identification of Neospora caninum from naturally infected cattle and sheep in North Africa
Neosporosis, caused by the protozoan Neospora caninum, is a major cause of reproductive failure in ruminants causing enormous economic losses. The objective of this study was to estimate the infection rate and molecular ...
