Gastrointestinal (GI) parasitic infections of sheep and goats were investigated in 69 farms located Thessaly region Greece, characterized by temperate Mediterranean climate, during two consecutive seasons. A total 557 fecal samples collected. Helminth eggs detected 44 (7.9%) samples. Strongyle-type found 19 (3.4%) samples, Nematodirus spp. 6 (1.1%) Trichuris 16 (2.9%) Fasciola hepatica 3 (0.5%) Dicrocoelium dendriticum 1 (0.2%) sample. Coccidian oocysts 36 (6.5%) Risk factors related to...

Abstract African swine fever (ASF), erysipelas and many other infectious parasitic diseases have seriously compromised the future of pig industry in Western Highlands Cameroon. Since implementation biosecurity measures (BM) is known to reduce risk disease transmission, objective this study was describe farming management system as well practices on farms Therefore, 97 were investigated using a face‐to‐face interview‐based questionnaire. Biosecurity divided three components: isolation,...

SUMMARY Risk factors related to herd and farmer status, farm pasture management, environmental derived by satellite data were examined for their association with the prevalence of F. hepatica in sheep goat farms Thessaly, Greece. Twelve (16·2%) 58 (78·4%) 74 had evidence infection using coproantigen serology respectively. The average normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) location 12 months before sampling was most significant risk factor based on high seropositivity. increased 1%...

Abstract Background Annual community-directed treatment with ivermectin (CDTI) have been carried out since 1999 in the Lekie division (central region of Cameroon where most cases Loa -related post severe adverse events were reported) as part joined activities African Programme for Onchocerciasis Control (APOC) and Mectizan® Donation Program (MDP). As large-scale administration ivermetine was demonstrated to be an efficient means control loiasis transmission, it hypothesized that CDTI would...

SUMMARY Maximum entropy ecological niche modelling and spatial scan statistic were utilized to predict the geographical range investigate clusters of infections for Neospora caninum Coxiella burnetii in dairy cattle farms Catalonia, northeastern Spain, using Maxent SaTScan programs, respectively. The distribution with highest level probability ( P > 0·60) covers central Catalonia spreads towards which contains a high concentration farms. most important environmental factor that...

Farm animals are usually suspected to transmit infections humans. Domestic cavies (Cavia porcellus) hosts a variety of pathogens, some which zoonotic. Several parasites including the protozoa Giardia spp. and Cryptosporidium may be causative agents gastrointestinal disorders in domestic The aim study was investigate occurrence potentially zoonotic as well any potential parasite raised under semi extensive system rural areas Cameroon.Giardia/Cryptosporidium antigens were detected 12.90%...

Domestic cavies (Cavia porcellus) are increasingly reared in rural areas of Cameroon for meat and income generation. Unfortunately, health constraints due to various pathogens including parasites stand as one the major obstacles development cavy industry country. The main objective this study was investigate species gastrointestinal husbandry western highlands detect external those animals affected with dermatological disorders. Pooled fecal samples were collected from 62 privately-own...

An abattoir study was carried out between May and October 2016 to determine the parasitic causes of organ condemnation during meat inspection evaluate attendant financial losses in Fako abattoirs, South-West region Cameroon. Organs (liver, lungs, heart, tongue, kidney, spleen intestine) were examined at following standard procedures loss estimated by considering total weight condemned organs price per kilogram marketable organs, obtained from local market. The 1472 cattle examined, which 357...

Anthelminthic resistance remains a major hindrance in controlling gastrointestinal parasites. Hence the need for alternative, more ecofriendly and readily affordable solutions. This paper evaluates anthelmintic effect of Zingiber officinale (ginger) powder on parasitic load pigs experimentally infected with an association Strongyloides ransomi, Hyostrongylus rubidus, Trichostrongylus axei Globocephalus urosubulatus. A total 24 two months old were randomly allocated to four treatment groups...

SUMMARY The presence of parasites on the farm can be a cause losses in animal production, and often threat to public health. A cross-sectional study was carried out rural areas western highlands Cameroon determine prevalence husbandry-related risk factors associated with Cordylobia anthropophaga infestations domestic cavies. overall myiasis animals 2·80% [95% confidence interval (CI) 1·50–5·10]; found 2% 4·30% Menoua Bamboutos divisions, respectively. Eleven farms (8·95%) total were infested...

Aims:The study aims to evaluate socio-economic and zootechnical characteristics, biosecurity practices in cultured fish farms the West Region of Cameroon.Study Design: A stratified cross-sectional using random-number generation method their locations select without replacing number.
