| natural babesia infection sought in black and norway rats trapped in five egyptian governorates. | babesiosis is a protozoal disease caused by members of the genus babesia transmitted by the ixodid ticks. it is a parasite of various mammalian hosts as bovine (b. bovis), equine (b. equi), rodent (b. microti), canine (b. canis) and others. human cases of babesiosis have been reported from several countries including egypt. it is now well established that man may become infected (fulminating or subclinical) with several species of babesia without prior splenectomy. in this paper, a total of 398 ... | 1993 | 8376851 |
| rift valley fever virus infections in egyptian cattle and their prevention. | rift valley fever virus (rvfv) causes consistently severe outbreaks with high public health impacts and economic losses in livestock in many african countries and has also been introduced to saudi arabia and yemen. egypt with its four large outbreaks in the last 40 years represents the northernmost endemic area of rvfv. the purpose of this study was to provide an insight into the current anti-rvfv antibody status in immunized as well as non-immunized dairy cattle from the nile delta of egypt. du ... | 2017 | 28116860 |
| using synoptic systems' typical wind trajectories for the analysis of potential atmospheric long-distance dispersal of lumpy skin disease virus. | lumpy skin disease virus (lsdv) is an infectious, arthropod-borne virus that affects mostly cattle. solitary outbreaks have occurred in israel in 1989 and 2006. in both years, the outbreaks occurred parallel to a severe outbreak in egypt, and lsdv was hypothesized to be transmitted from egypt to israel via long-distance dispersal (ldd) of infected vectors by wind. the aim of this study was to identify possible events of such transport. at the first stage, we identified the relevant synoptic syst ... | 2017 | 26011073 |
| q fever in cattle in some egyptian governorates: a preliminary study. | q fever, caused by coxiella burnetii, is a zoonosis with great public health significance and can cause financial losses to animal owners. the knowledge of the epidemiology of q fever in egypt is limited. reports on this disease are scarce. in 2012 and 2013, we carried out this investigation to estimate the seroprevalence of antibodies to coxiella burnetii in dairy cows of nine farms located in the lower egyptian governorates of dakahlia, damietta and port said. 1,194 blood sera were randomly co ... | 2014 | 25481509 |
