“…These rates in cattle and sheep are large but lower than in cattle in the north (10.2%) by Tchamdja et al (2017) and in the Mô Plain (37.64%) by Talaki et al (2014) in Togo, in sheep (13.1%) by Farougou et al (2011) in southern Guinean zone of Benin and in goats (8%) by Bastiaensen (2003) in Sokodé in Togo. It is also lower than the 6.86% observed by Degnah et al (2013) in Ethiopia in the Lalo Kile district and above the 2.5% obtained by Adam et al (2012) in Ghana in cattle.…”

| In the pastoral zone of Gaongho in Burkina Faso, the main disease of ruminants is the African Animal Trypanosomiasis (AAT) which is very often controlled by herders with the aqueous extracts of five plants whose present study proposes to evaluate the potential trypanocidal activities. To this end, a parasitological field survey in ruminants was carried out followed by an in vitro trypanocidal test of five plant extracts using three concentrations (25, 50 and 100 mg / ml) in triplicate in comparison with negative (PBS) and positive (Veriben) controls in the laboratory. The field survey revealed an overall prevalence rate of 4.14% for trypanosomes, including 4.54% for cattle and sheep and 3.33% for goats, with no significant difference (P ˃ 0. 05) was recorded between the three ruminant species. Among the latter, the sex effect showed a significant difference in goats where males were more infested (P = 0.0015) than females. On the other hand, the age of the animals presented no significant difference (P = 0.8218) between the three species. All ruminants tested were more infested with Trypanosoma brucei brucei (66.67%) than T. congolense (33.33%). The in vitro test was conducted with aqueous extracts of five plants (Balanites aegyptiaca, Capparis sepiaria, Guiera senegalensis, Mitragyna inermis, and Vitellaria paradoxa) on Trypanosoma brucei brucei. Concentrations of 50 and 100 mg / ml of G. senegalensis leaf extracts and V. paradoxa bark caused high mortality of T. brucei brucei and were comparable to Veriben, the standard reference product. The results obtained with the extracts of G. senegalensis and V. paradoxa showed that these plantsmay be the potential source of trypanocidal drugs. Keywords

“…All cestodes (except Stilesia sp) found in our work have already been reported in sheep and goats in several countries. Moniezia expansa has been reported in sheep and goats in Dahomey, Guinea Bissau, Chad, Ghana, Niger and Senegal (Aissatou 2000 ;Bastiaensen et al 2003 ;Achi et al 2003). In Ituri, intestinal cestodes are relatively uncommon.…”

Our study aims to identify and assess the prevalence of Anoplocephalidae parasitizing the intestines of small ruminants, as well as to study their epidemiology in Algeria. The methods used to achieve our goals are autopsy and staining. The results showed the presence of six species of tapeworms belonging to four genera : Moniezia expansa, Moniezia benedeni, Stilesia globipunctata, Stilesia sp, Avitellina centripunctata and Thysaniezia ovilla, with variable infestation rates affecting 14% of sheep and 8% of goats. Moniezia expansa is the dominant parasitic species and was found with high rates in goats and sheep. The study of factors influencing the occurrence of Anoplocephalidae showed that females were affected more than males for both hosts. Likewise, younger animals are more parasitized than the adults. The most infested animal breeds are Berber and Rembi. Our results show several parasitic associations of two cestodes worms. The most frequent association in our samples is that of Moniezia expansa - Stilesia globipunctata with a rate of 50%. The regional and seasonal studied showed that the infestation of small ruminants by Anoplocephalidae was also influenced by the nature of the climate.

Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of anti-Toxoplasma gondii and anti-Neospora caninum antibodies in sheep breeding in a particular husbandry system called "Elevage en case" in Dakar, Senegal. Materials and Methods: Blood samples were collected from 278 sheep. Serum was harvested and used for analysis. For the detection of T. gondii antibodies, 278 sera were analyzed using the modified agglutination test, while the enzyme linked-immunosorbent assay was used on 174 sheep sera to look for N. caninum antibodies. Results: This study showed that 29.4±6.8% of sheep carried both T. gondii and N. caninum antibodies. The overall prevalence was 60.1±5.7% and 41.9±7.3% for toxoplasmosis and neosporosis, respectively. For toxoplasmosis, the prevalence was higher in Gueule Tapée (63.3%) than in Medina (58.9%), but the variation was not significant (p=0.45). Regarding the age of animals, the prevalence was significantly higher in animals over 2 years old compared to those under 2 years old (p=0.002). For neosporosis, the prevalence was significantly higher in Medina (48.67%) than Gueule Tapée (16.7%) (p=0.001), but non-significant variation was noted according to animal age. Conclusion: The study showed that sheep reared in households have carried antibodies of T. gondii and N. caninum. The prevalence was high and it means that consumption of meat from these animals is risky if the meat is eaten undercooked.
