the spatial and seasonal distribution of african horse sickness and its potential culicoides vectors in morocco.	african horse sickness (ahs) is a vector-borne, infectious disease of equines that is caused by african horse sickness virus (ahsv). the only proven field vector is the biting midge culicoides imicola, although c. obsoletus and c. pulicaris are suspected vectors. there was a recent epizootic of ahs in iberia (1987-90) and morocco (1989-91). in 1994-45 a total of 3887 light trap samples were taken from twenty-two sites distributed over most of morocco. culicoides imicola was found to be very wide ...	1997	9330250
the culicoides vectors of african horse sickness virus in morocco: distribution and epidemiological implications.	african horse sickness (ahs) is a vector-borne, infectious disease of equids caused by african horse sickness virus. the only proven field vector of the virus is the biting midge culicoides imicola, although c. obsoletus and c. pulicaris are suspected vectors. in 1994-5 a total of 3887 light trap samples were collected from 22 sites distributed over most of morocco. culicoides imicola was found to be very widely distributed with the greatest catches in the low-lying north-western areas (between ...	1998	9785501
poor efficacy of the most commonly used anthelmintics in sport horse nematodes in morocco in relation to resistance.	sport and leisure horses in morocco are treated with several anthelmintics, organophosphates (dichlorvos), benzimidazoles (mostly thiabendazole) or tetrahydropyrimidines (mostly pyrantel pamoate) against nematodes. we studied three horse stables in rabat, one in meknes and one in bouznika. two of the rabat and bouznika stables had introduced a large number of horses from countries (argentina or europe) where resistance to benzimidazoles is frequent, whereas the meknes stud farm remained without ...	2005	16402567
