Plague, in the Middle Ages known as Black Death, continues to occur at permanent foci in many countries, in Africa, Asia, South America, and even the USA. During the last years outbreaks were reported from at least 3 geographical areas, in all cases after tens of years without reported cases. The recent human plague outbreaks in Libya and Algeria suggest that climatic and other environmental ch...

In response to alerts from farmers in Bejaia region (central-north Algeria) about the decline of their fig trees, a survey was conducted between 2019 and 2021 main localities known for crops. Hypocryphalus scabricollis (Eichhoff) (Coleoptera, Curculionidae: Scolytinae) identified as causal agent tree region. This species is reported first time Algeria. Here, morphological description biological...

AIM To evaluate nasal carriage rate and variables associated with Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in patients admitted in two healthcare facilities. RESULTS S. aureus was isolated from 159 (26%) of the enrolled patients. Methicillin-susceptible S. aureus was isolated from 150 (24.5%) patients, and MRSA was isolated from 9 (1.5%). Cancer and previou...

The present work studied the diversity of Formicidae in two agrosystems Bejaia, a lemon orchard located at INRAA and an orange Amizour. We used transect method by combining three (3) sampling methods: Barber Pots or Pitfall, Bait, manual capture. identified 18 ant species representing 11 genera subfamilies: Dolichoderinae (Tapinoma magnum), Formicinae (Cataglyphis, Camponotus, Lasius, Plagiolep...

This study applies dynamic programming and numerical methods to an enlarged version of Stoleru’s economic model of Algeria to achieve optimization with respect to the criteria of full employment and balanced growth afterwards while maintaining a minimum per capita consumption. The model is expanded with new influential quantities including a state constraint, a disturbance factor, and an additi...

After 25 years of no cases of plague, this disease recurred near Tobruk, Libya, in 2009. An epidemiologic investigation identified 5 confirmed cases. We determined ribotypes, Not1 restriction profiles, and IS100 and IS1541 hybridization patterns of strains isolated during this outbreak. We also analyzed strains isolated during the 2003 plague epidemic in Algeria to determine whether there were ...

We report clinical and pathological features of enzootic nasal adenocarcinoma (ENA) in one sheep in Algeria. A one-year-old Ouled Djellal sheep from a large herd (~1240 animals), located in Bordj Bou Arreridj, Algeria, was clinically diagnosed by the presence of persistent seromucous nasal discharge, head shaking, muzzle licking, dyspnoea, exophthalmia and frontal protrusion. The sheep was euth...

This paper is a bibliometric study of the publication patterns of academic and research scientists of Maghreb countries: Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia. The comparative study of the scientific production in the countries of Maghreb is made using Scopus data during the period 1996-2009. Results show that the total scientific production of Tunisia is higher than that of both Morocco and Algeria, ev...
