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 – Project Progress Report: Year I - April 2018 to March 2019
The CLCA project goal is to sustainably increase production and enhance climate resilience of small farmers’ communities and their crop-livestock production systems in drylands. To develop in participation with smallholder ...
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 ...
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. ...
Effect of supplementation by cactus (Opuntia ficus indica f. inermis) cladodes on reproductive response and some blood metabolites of female goat on pre-mating phase
The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of barley substitution by cactus during pre-mating phase on some reproductive parameters and blood metabolites of goats.
Forty adult goats of local breed were allocated ...
Infestation of small ruminants by the metacestode stage of Taenia hydatigena in slaughterhouse, North East Tunisia
Background: Cysticercus tenuicollis (larvae of Taenia hydatigena) is a frequent cosmopolitan
endoparasite of ruminants. The infestation by this parasite is underestimated
since it is neither zoonotic nor inducing high ...
Key informant tool for the enhancement of crop–livestock systems under conservation agriculture (CLCA): Towards a sustainable CLCA production system
The project “Use of conservation agriculture in crop–livestock systems (CLCA) in the drylands for enhanced water use efficiency, soil fertility and productivity in North East, North Africa (NENA) and Latin America and the ...
Genome-wide analysis reveals fine scale population structure in the thin-tailed Sudanese Desert sheep
Currently found in North and West Africa, the thin-tailed sheep were the earliest to be introduced into the continent and therefore represent the most primitive sheep in Africa. Although they are categorized into different ...
What do we expect from the livestock component under CLCA?
Presentation on Integrating Livestock in CLCA Project.
Toxoplasma gondii infection and toxoplasmosis in North Africa: a review
Toxoplasmosis is an important zoonosis caused by an obligate intracellular parasitic protozoan,
Toxoplasma gondii. It is worldwide distributed in all warm-blooded vertebrates including
humans. The present review aimed to ...
