| [sero-epidemiological study in mauritania (1985-1986): incidence of treponematosis, hepatitis b virus, hiv virus and viral hemorrhagic fevers]. | a serological serosurvey was made in different ethnic groups of mauritania in 1985. a very high prevalence of hepatitis b markers was found with more than 20% of hbs antigen carriers. treponema specific antibodies in low-age classes observed is a reflect of endemic syphilis. the seroprevalence of antibody against hiv and viral haemorrhagic fever viruses (rift valley fever, crimean-congo haemorrhagic fever and haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome) was very low. | 1988 | 2900081 |
| mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) in mauritania: a review of their biodiversity, distribution and medical importance. | although mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) are important disease vectors, information on their biodiversity in mauritania is scarce and very dispersed in the literature. data from the scientific literature gathered in the country from 1948 to 2016 were collected and analyzed. overall 51 culicid species comprising 17 anopheles spp., 14 aedes spp., 18 culex spp. and two mansonia spp. have been described in mauritania among which anopheles arabiensis, aedes vexans, culex poicilipes and culex antennat ... | 2017 | 28103955 |
| serological and genomic evidence of rift valley fever virus during inter-epidemic periods in mauritania. | rift valley fever virus (rvfv) is an emerging pathogen of major concern throughout africa and the arabian peninsula, affecting both livestock and humans. in the past recurrent epidemics were reported in mauritania and studies focused on the analysis of samples from affected populations during acute outbreaks. to verify characteristics and presence of rvfv during non-epidemic periods we implemented a multi-stage serological and molecular analysis. serum samples of small ruminants, cattle and came ... | 2017 | 28029091 |
