Re-using an oleic by-product in the manufacturing of fired clay bricks.

Background: The high demand for building bricks underscores their essential role in the construction industry, which pushes researchers to continuously improve the characteristics of these products. This study aimed to investigate the impact of incorporating oleic components (Margins) in fired bricks manufacturing of by substituting water with different percentages of margins.

Methods: Fired bricks were produced at the laboratory using clays taking from the Tangier region in northern Morocco.

Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus infection in non-camelid domestic mammals.

Dromedary camels are natural host of the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). However, there are limited studies of MERS-CoV infection of other domestic mammals exposed to infected dromedaries. We expanded our surveillance among camels in Egypt, Tunisia, and Senegal to include other domestic mammalian species in contact with infected camels.
