“…These results can be explained by the involvement of several factors. In this sense, it should be noted that sheep raised in the open and feed on grass in contact with the ground, which promotes the transmission of fascioliasis (Hamiroune et al, 2019).…”

The present study aims to evaluate the prevalence and some associated risk factors of Fasciola hepatica in sheep in the Algerian agro-pastoral region, Djelfa. For this, a total of 217 blood samples were taken from sheep (100 females and 117 males) aged on average ten months in two slaughterhouses in an Algerian agro-pastoral region, Djelfa during the period from January to October 2021 and analyzed by the ELISA method (BIOK 211-Monoscreen AbELISA Fasciola hepatica test) at the regional veterinary laboratory of Laghouat. The collected sera were numbered and stored at -20°C until analysis. Technical sheets were filled out with each sampled animal, including information on age, sex, locality and season. The results showed that the rate of positive seroprevalence of Fasciola hepatica was 0.46% in sheep. This positivity rate was found in April in a 2-year-old female. At the same time, two doubtful cases (0.92%) were identified, one in a five-year-old female during the month of August and the other in a six-month-old male during the month of September. These results indicate the possibility of fasciolosis infestation in sheep farms in the Djelfa region and the zoonotic risk that this represents, as well as the economic losses that result from it.

“…The number of cattle herds in Jijel is estimated at 87,942 head (Hamiroune et al, 2019). There are 53 cattle including 7 males (13.20%) and 46 females (86.80%) belonging to three breeds: Brown Atlas (n = 19; 35.85%), Breton Blackfoot (n = 30; 56.60%) and Plain Redfoot (n = 4; 7.55%).…”

To this date, ticks remain the major problem in the livestock sector because of their role as vectors for serious agents of disease propagation. Given the scarcity of studies on ticks in Algeria, associations of species were mentioned in only one document and were not well detailed in another. This paper is a synoptic review of seven tick species associations related to host biotic factors in Algeria. The aim is to better understand the behaviour and biology of ticks to propose a new control method based on the association index. A total of 53 infested cattle were detected and 1,214 ticks were manually collected and identified based on their morphology during the summer of 2019 (June to August). Seven tick species were identified: viz. Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) annulatus, Rhipicephalus bursa, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Hyalomma marginatum, Hyalomma lusitanicum, Hyalomma scupense, and Hyalomma anatolicum. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used as an analytical tool to visualize similarities and correlations between cattle and females, males of tick species, according to three biotic factors (age, sex and breed of cattle). The results show that there is a relationship between the number of associated species and biotic factors (age of livestock). In addition, the degree of association is influenced by the host and other tick species and a new type of "astheno-association" is emerging that limits the number of associated species to two or three.
