La présente étude a pour but de répertorier les recettes utilisées par les éleveurs pour traiter la fièvre aphteuse. L'enquête s'est déroulée auprès de 370 éleveurs diversement répartis dans onze départements du Bénin, entre juillet et décembre 2015. Elle révèle que pour traiter la fièvre aphteuse, la quasi-totalité des éleveurs enquêtés associent les recettes à base de plantes médicinales aux soins vétérinaires. Au total, 32 types de recettes utilisant 32 espèces de plantes ont été récapitulés chez les éleveurs. Vitellaria paradoxa est l'espèce de plante la plus citée dans 3 types de recettes. Les espèces de plante telles Citrus limon L., Gossypium arboreum L., Pterocarpus erinaceus, Sorghum bicolor L., Acacia nilotica L., Lannea acida, Khaya senegalensis, Agelanthus dodoneifolius ont été chacune impliquées dans 2 recettes. Les écorces sont impliquées dans 14 types de recettes et la macération constitue la méthode la plus utilisée avec 27% de types de recettes suivis de la poudre avec 24%. Les soins vétérinaires sont basés sur l'utilisation des antibiotiques (Péni-procaïne ® ou l'Oxytétracycline ® ). D'autres études pourront révéler l'efficacité de ces plantes. © 2016 International Formulae Group. All rights reserved.Mots clés : Pathologie, aphtes, recettes endogènes, phytopharmacologie, bovin. Ethno-veterinary recipes of medicinal plants using for the treatment of foot and mouth disease in Benin ABSTRACTFoot and mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral disease of even-toed ungulated and is endemic in most of African countries. A survey using semi-structured questionnaires was undertaken to 370 breeders of the eleven husbandry departments in Benin to identify the recipes used by breeders to treat cases of FMD. A total of 32 types of recipes using 32 medicinal plants were listed by breeders. Vitellaria paradoxa is the most cited with three types of recipes. Thus medicinal plants such as Citrus limon L., Gossypium arboretum E. M.B. HOUNDJE et al. / Int. J. Biol. Chem. Sci. 10(5): 2090-2107 2091 L., Pterocarpus erinaceus, Sorghum bicolor L., Acacia nilotica L., Lannea acida, Khaya senegalensis, Agelanthus dodoneifolius were each involved in two types of recipes. Barks are involved in 14 types of recipes and maceration is the method most used with 27% types of recipes followed by the powder with 24%. Animal health care is based on the use of antibiotics such as Peni-procaïne® or Oxytétracycline®. This study is providing indigenous resources using to treat foot and mouth disease in Benin. Others studies could reveal which one are best.

Many cases of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) are reported every year in Benin. In order to elucidate the epidemiology of this disease, a space-time analysis was carried out in all the 77 municipalities of the country aiming to identify high risk areas as well as risk factors such as season and transhumance on the period of 2005 to 2014. Data were collected retrospectively from the Directory of Animal Production of Benin. The method of Kulldorff was used with the software SaTScan™ for the spacetime analysis while a script was designed in the software R to generate new sizes with three different models of transhumance. From 2005 to 2014, 434 foci were recorded. Many outbreaks occurred in August, September and October. This period corresponds to the small rainy season in the South and the rainy season of the North. The municipality of Parakou was regarded as the source FMD outbreaks in Benin because it hosts one of the largest livestock markets in the country and many rivers. It was the municipality at the highest risk. The other municipalities at risk were Nikki, Pèrèrè and Kalaléas well as Karimama (hosting the national parkW), Kouandé and Toucountouna located nearby Pendjari's national park. This study revealed that the spacetime configuration is real and the main factors of persistence and dissemination of FMD virus were national parks, classified forests and the livestock market of Parakou all located in the North. The variation of the number of cattle due to their transhumance from the North to the South did not influence the zones at risk. Therefore, Northern Benin is probably at high risk of FMD.
