Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed malaria epidemiology in Gabon from 1980 to 2023 using five databases to track prevalence, drug resistance, and insecticide resistance markers.
- - Gabon faces a significant public health challenge with high malaria rates, showing persistent resistance to chloroquine (CQ) and emerging resistance to sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP), while artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) remain effective.
- - Recent findings indicate a high frequency of insecticide resistance markers, with alternatives like organophosphates and carbamates suggested for vector control.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to determine the presence and diversity of gastrointestinal parasites in the sun-tailed monkey (Allochrocebus solatus) at a primatology center.
- - Researchers analyzed 46 fecal samples using the modified McMaster technique, finding seven different types of parasites, with strongyles being the most common at 98%.
- - The findings underscore the importance of monitoring the health of this monkey species and taking necessary steps for their management and welfare.
Article Synopsis
- Gastrointestinal parasites in wild mammals can harm their health and the health of humans due to potential zoonotic transmission.
- A study analyzed 25 fecal samples from various mammal species in Moukalaba-Doudou National Park, revealing that 60% were positive for parasitic infections.
- The research identified a wide range of parasites, many of which are zoonotic, emphasizing the ecological and health implications despite the limited sample size.
Captive chimpanzees living in confined environments like sanctuaries or primatology centers are frequently affected by gastrointestinal parasites. Some of these are likely to be transmitted to humans and may seriously affect public health. However little information is currently available on the gastrointestinal parasites of primates living in such environments.

Our study reveals that eleven parasites including nine helminthes (Ascaris spp.
