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 ...
Chemical analyses and anthelmintic effects of Artemisia campestris essential oil
The present study aimed at analyzing the chemical composition and evaluating the in vitro and in vivo anthelmintic activity of Artemisia campestris essential oil aerial parts. The chemical composition was analysed by ...
Pushing toward the integration of crop-livestock and conservation agriculture
Tunisia – A modern farming town in northern Tunisia, Siliana is one of the first places in this progressive North African country of 11 million people to adopt conservation agriculture and its use in crop-livestock systems. ...
Comparative in vitro efficacy of kefir produced from camel, goat, ewe and cow milk on Haemonchus contortus
One of the great challenges of veterinary parasitology is the search for alternative methods for
controlling gastrointestinal parasites in small ruminants. Milk kefir is a traditional source of
probiotic, with great ...
In vivo nematicidal potential of camel milk on Heligmosomoides polygyrus gastro-intestinal nematode of rodents
Following our previous findings on the in vitro anthelmintic effect of camel milk on Haemonchus
contortus, the current study aimed at investigating its in vivo effect. Investigations were carried out
using mice infected ...
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 ...
