Seroprevalence and renal carriage of pathogenic Leptospira in livestock in Cotonou, Benin.

Background: Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease. It is particularly prevalent in tropical countries and has major consequences for human and animal health. In Benin, the disease's epidemiology remains poorly understood, especially in livestock, for which data are lacking.

Exposure and resistance to anticoagulant rodenticides in invasive and endemic Chadian urban rodent species to develop a rational management strategy.

Unlabelled: Rodent management involves the use of anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs). This use has resulted in the selection of numerous resistance alleles in the Vkorc1 gene, encoding the target enzyme of ARs. In Africa, although rodents are a major problem as a consequence of their transport and transmission of zoonotic pathogens, and damage to crops, the use of ARs and the spread of resistance alleles are poorly documented.

Identification of Pathogenic Serogroup Grippotyphosa in Water Voles () from Ruminant Pastures in Puy-de-Dôme, Central France.

Rodents are the primary reservoirs for pathogenic species, which cause leptospirosis. Among the key potential carriers are water voles, whose population outbreaks can consequently pose a major threat to human and animal health. We studied the prevalence, prominence, and epidemiology of pathogenic species in water voles in central France.

First Molecular Detection of Pathogens in Common Rodent Captured in North Algeria Urban Areas.

Leptospirosis is an anthropozoonosis disease of worldwide distribution caused by mobile spirochetes of the genus and rodents, mainly rats, are described as its primary reservoir. In Algeria, there is limited data about the prevalence of spp. in humans and animals, as well as carriage in wild rodents.

Prevalence of Tritrichomonas foetus infections in French catteries.

Recently, Tritrichomonas foetus, the known etiologic agent of bovine trichomonosis was identified in domestic cats in many countries around the world. In felids, this parasite would be a significant cause of large-bowel diarrhoea. Therefore the aim of the present study was to determine for the first time the prevalence of T.
