Report on Gasterophilus spp. (Diptera, Gasterophilidae) of Horses in Algeria: Prevalence, Intensity, and Monthly Variations. The composition, prevalence, and seasonal dynamic of species were studied at the slaughterhouse of Constantine region (East Algeria) in 128 horses over an 18 months period. Our survey revealed that 124 (96.9%) horses were infected with a mean intensity of 161 larvae of spp. Four species of were identified; and were by far the predominant species with 95.3% and 77.3% respectively, followed by (14.0%) and (10.1%). The age, sex, and breed of horses did not affect the distribution of the infection. Second-stage larvae (L2) of were absent between April and July and present in higher numbers...
[Serological survey of animal toxoplasmosis in Senegal]. Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate, intracellular, parasitic protozoan within the phylum Apicomplexa that causes toxoplasmosis in mammalian hosts (including humans) and birds. We used modified direct agglutination test for the screening of the animals' sera collected in Senegal. In total, 419 animals' sera have been studied: 103 bovines, 43 sheep, 52 goats, 63 horses, 13 donkeys and 145 dogs. The collection of sera was performed in four different regions of Senegal: Dakar, Sine Saloum, Kedougou and Basse Casamance from 2011 to 2013. We have revealed antibodies in 13% of bovines, 16% of sheep, 15...
[Detection of circulation of West Nile virus in equine in the north-west of Tunisia]. Two outbreaks of West Nile Fever (FWN) were observed in the Sahel of Tunisia in 1997 and 2003. Several cases of meningitis and meningoencephalitis have been described in humans during these two outbreaks. However, no animal or clinical findings or seroconversion have been detected despite a high seroprevalence in human beings found around the affected areas. Few data are available regarding the spreading of this virus in other parts of the country. The purpose of this study was to detect a possible WNV spread in horses in some areas of Tunisia considered to be at risk for WNV but which had not...
West Nile virus in Europe and Africa: still minor pathogen, or potential threat to public health? Until 1999 the West Nile virus had been reported only in the "Old world" and particularly in Europe, Africa, Middle East and Asia where it was responsible only for sporadic or size-and-time-limited outbreaks in humans and equines. The sudden and unexpected emergence of WN in New York in 1999, followed by a rapid and huge extension to the whole North America in less than four years, made health authorities aware of the potential of previously forgotten viruses to become a threat to public health. The present review will focus on the epidemiology of West Nile virus in Europe and Africa during th...
[Epidemiological aspects of human and animal rabies in the urban area of Bamako, Mali]. The district of Bamako is the political and economical capital city of Mali with 1,800,000 inhabitants. The goal of the present retrospective study was to determine the frequency of animal bites, human and animal rabies on the one hand and to determine the frequency and the nature of mad animals on the other hand from January 2000 to December 2003 (4 years). To achieve this goal, we have analysed registers and documents related to rabies in the department of prevention and fight against diseases, the central veterinary laboratory, and also at the lazaret clinic involved in caring for human rab...
[Recombinant antibodies: a new application in scorpion envenomation?]. Serotherapy is the only specific treatment for envenomation. The antibodies are obtained after the purification of serum from hyperimmunised horses and are used after fragmentation in the form of polyclonal Fab or F(ab)'2. The anti-venom sera are heterogeneous, and their protective effect is often weak. The administration of these preparations induces risks of immediate or delayed side effects: hypersensitivity reactions, anaphylactic shock and serum sickness. This observation led us to develop new forms of antibodies produced by molecular engineering, capable of specifically neutralizing the ...
[Re-emergence of Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus in French Guiana. Apropos of 1 confirmed case]. Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) is a mosquito-borne viral disease that occurs in equine species and in man. The strains can be grouped epidemiologically into two major categories: enzootic and epizootic. Enzootic strains cause sporadic human disease and are not associated with disease among equines. These strains are found throughout Florida. Central America, northern South America and Brazil. Epizootic strains are associated with enormous morbidity and mortality in equine species. In man, VEE virus infections are largely asymptomatic and in children and young adults there is an increased...
