Article Synopsis
- - Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant health issue affecting both humans and pets, particularly in Africa, where a study focused on dogs showed alarming resistance patterns to common antibiotics.
- - A meta-analysis examined 234 articles and identified that 18 met the criteria, revealing high resistance rates in Escherichia coli (98%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (92%), and Salmonella spp. (53%), while Staphylococcus aureus had a lower resistance rate (18%).
- - The findings emphasize the urgent need for alternative treatments to replace ineffective antibiotics and suggest that more comprehensive studies are needed to understand the full extent of AMR in dogs.
Introduction: Children's dental health has become the primary concern, because of the increase in the prevalence of caries amongst school children in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, a meta-analysis was conducted to assess the prevalence and severity of dental caries among school children in Saudi Arabia.
Method: A systematic search of Scopus, ISI Web of Science, EMBASE, Saudi digital library, Google Scholar, and MEDLINE via Ovid for cross-sectional studies with healthy participants between 5and -15 years.
Through international trades, Europe, Africa and South America share a long history of exchanges, potentially of pathogens. We used the worldwide parasite Toxoplasma gondii to test the hypothesis of a historical influence on pathogen genetic diversity in Benin, a West African country with a longstanding sea trade history. In Africa, T.

The present study reports, for the first time, the occurrence of infection among sheep and goats from Benin. A total of 368 small ruminants: 215 serum samples from sheep raised in Sahelian area of North Benin and 153 serum samples from goats raised in a family farm from South-Benin, were collected and screened for anti- IgG antibodies by the ELISA-indirect method.

Felids especially cats are definitive hosts and almost all warm-blooded mammals, including livestock and human can serve as intermediate hosts. Food animals can be reservoirs for and act as one of the sources for parasite transmission to humans.
