“…The high density of dromedaries and the presence of cross-border herd movement with Algeria could explain the high seroprevalence in this governorate ( Benaissa et al, 2020 ; Bouslikhane, 2015 ). Indeed, it was demonstrated that the seroprevalence of T.evansi in southern Algeria, an area bordering the governorate of Kebili, was assessed at 45% ( Benaissa et al, 2020 ). Moreover, the presence of an important number of watering points ( Centre national de veille zoosanitaire 2017 ), wetlands, and saline lakes in Kebili in comparison to the other governorates, is likely to enhance the spread of trypanosomiasis, through the development and proliferation of tabanids, implicated vectors in the transmission of T. evansi ( Abera et al, 2015 ; Ben , 2019 ; Rafu et al, 2021 ) .…”
