“…This finding is in agreement with the results recorded by Tijjani et al . [ 22 ] in Yobe with the prevalence of 5.7%, but lower than 36.6% obtained in Adamawa [ 15 ] and 34.0% in Yobe [ 9 ]. The results obtained in this study are also lower than some results from other African countries, 25.6% in Zimbabwe [ 7 ], 8.4% in Sudan [ 23 ].…”

Aim:To determine the seroepidemiological patterns of bovine brucellosis in three senatorial zones of Bauchi State, Nigeria.Materials and Methods:Blood samples were aseptically collected from the anterior jugular vein of 336 slaughtered cattle, between September 2013 and March 2014 in three senatorial zones of Bauchi State, Nigeria. The sera obtained were screened for brucellosis using rose Bengal plate test (RBPT) and serum agglutination test (SAT) in parallel. The data generated was subjected to Chi-square and Fishers exact test analysis to establish whether there is a relationship between the breeds, sex, and location of the animals sampled.Results:Of the 336 cattle screened, 18 (5.4%) and 13 (3.9%) were positive by RBPT and SAT, respectively. There was no statistically significant association (p>0.05) between the sex, age, and location of cattle with seropositivity of brucellosis in the state. It was concluded that brucellosis is prevalent in Bauchi State. Further study is recommended in other abattoirs and herds of cattle in Bauchi State for confirmation of the status of the disease among cattle slaughtered in the state.Conclusion:A high seroprevalence of brucellosis among the cattle in Bauchi state indicates that the disease is endemic and cattle are one of the animals that perpetuate and sustain the disease.

“…Cysticercosis and hydatidosis caused by Taenia/Echinococcus spp. are common in Nigeria, affecting both animals and humans (Abdullahi et al, 2011;Onah, Chiejina, & Emehelu, 1989;Tijjani, Musa, Atsanda, & Mamman, 2010).…”

“…Previous studies have reported similar results implicating camels as most susceptible. In some areas, prevalence has been found to reach as high as 70% in camels and 40% in other livestock [18, 35, 36], although lower prevalence has also been documented in other locations [37, 38]. The high fertility rate observed in camels suggests that they play a significant epidemiological role in the transmission of CE in Nigeria, especially in the North-West and North-East zones.…”

Background Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonosis caused by cestodes of Echinococcus granulosus ( sensu lato ) complex. In Nigeria, reports on the prevalence of CE, although limited, have been found to vary with location and host with higher prevalence and fertility rate observed in camels than other livestock. Until now, information regarding the molecular characteristics, genetic population structure, and genotypes of Echinococcus is lacking. Therefore, this study was aimed at addressing these gaps in knowledge. Methods We describe the genetic status of 31 Echinococcus isolates collected from slaughtered livestock (camels, cattle and goats) based on the full-length mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 ( cox 1) and NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1 ( nad 1) genes. Results The resulting nucleotide sequences via the NCBI BLAST algorithm and Bayesian phylogeny of cox 1 and cox 1 –nad 1 genes using MrBayes v.3.1.2 showed that all isolates were clearly E. canadensis (G6/G7) and were 99–100% identical to previously reported G6/G7 haplotypes across Europe, Asia, North and East Africa. Conclusions Although, the G1 genotype is believed to be responsible for the majority of global CE burden, reports from a number of West African countries including Nigeria suggest that E. canadensis G6/G7 genotype could be the major causative agent of CE in the subregion. This study provides for the first time insight into the genetic population structure of Echinococcus species as well as implications for CE control in Nigeria.
