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 ...
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 ...
Phenology and phylogeny of Hyalomma dromedarii in the Sahara of South Tunisia and tick-borne pathogens in camels
The general objectives of the current study were to study the biology of Hyalomma dromedarii in its natural environment and to survey the pathogens it transmits. In the first part, we were interested to investigate the ...
Progress Report on Phenotyping Indigenous Tunisian Sheep Breeds for Resistance to Ticks
This is a report of the preliminary dataset on phenotyping Tunisian local sheep breeds for resistance to ticks.
Activity dynamics and phylogenetic analyses of Ixodes ricinus population in North West Tunisia
The present study aimed to investigate the phenology of Ixodes ricinus in Aïn Draham forest (Northwest Tunisia) and evaluate the correlation between abiotic factors (temperature, relative humidity and rainfall). Ticks were ...
Studies on ticks and tick-borne pathogens in sheep in Tunisia
This is a progress report on infestation of sheep with ticks and prevalence of tick-borne pathogens across 6 different locations covering the main bioclimatic zones in the country. Four sampling rounds took place and another ...
