INTRODUCTION Zoonotic enteric parasites are ubiquitous and remain a public health threat to humans due to our close relationship with domestic animals and wildlife, inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene practices and diet. While most communities are now sedentary, nomadic and pastoral populations still exist and experience unique exposure risks for acquiring zoonotic enteric parasites. Thro...

Threats from different origins are affecting agriculture in general and beekeeping particular. Climate change, diseases, the use of pesticides, insecticides, thefts genetic erosion due to random crossing exotic native strains. Internet Things (IoT) devices have found many applications reduce these threats, including honeybees sector. They consist embedded sensing, computing, communication devic...

BACKGROUND Developing control policies for zoonotic diseases is challenging, both because of the complex spread dynamics exhibited by these diseases, and because of the need for implementing complex multi-species surveillance and control efforts using limited resources. Mathematical models, and in particular network models, of disease spread are promising as tools for control-policy design, bec...

A cross-sectional epidemiological study was carried out from September 2004 to March 2005 to determine the seroprevalence and identify risk factors for seropositivity of bovine brucellosis in the extensive cattle production systems of Tigray Region. The study populations comprised indigenous breed cattle in the region, and samples were selected by 2-stage cluster sampling. Serum samples collect...

BACKGROUND Control of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) and zoonotic tuberculosis (zTB) has relied upon surveillance and slaughter of infected cattle, milk pasteurisation and public health education. In Cameroon, like many other sub-Saharan African countries, there is limited understanding of current cattle husbandry or milk processing practices or livestock keepers awareness of bTB. This paper describ...

AIM In Senegal, uncontrolled cross-breeding of cattle breeds and changes in production systems are assumed to lead to an increase of gene flow between populations. This might constitute a relevant threat to livestock improvement. Therewith, this study was carried out to assess the current genetic diversity and the phylogenetic relationships of the four native Senegalese cattle breeds (Gobra zeb...

The phenomenon of pollution by plastic waste is a public health problem in Burkina Faso. ingestion these bags domestic ruminants causes enormous losses to producers. Thus, have the involvement producers management plastic, this study was initiated collect their perceptions (knowledge, attitudes and practices) on scourge farm animals. It conducted from May June 2021 involved 60 living urban peri...
