Distribution of seroprevalence and risk factors for bovine tuberculosis in east Algeria.

Despite the difficulties and the absence of credible scientific information concerning bovine tuberculosis in Algeria, our cross-sectional and inferential study, which is estimated to be a first in Algeria, affected three major semi-intensive regions in East of Algeria, by analyzing 21 holdings which grouped 516 cattle in an intensive and semi-intensive breeding character over a period of 12 months, in order to estimate the seroprevalence and the risk factors those influence the emergence of the disease in these regions. A serological test (ELISA) was carried out on all collected sera, after a stratified two-level sampling. A generalized linear mixed model was used to identify risk factors associated with animal-level positivity.

Transmission route and introduction of pandemic SARS-CoV-2 between China, Italy, and Spain.

We present a phylodynamic and phylogeographic analysis of this new severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus in this report. A tree of maximum credibility was constructed using the 72 entire genome sequences of this virus, from the three countries (China, Italy, and Spain) available as of 26 March 2020 on the GISAID reference frame. To schematize the current SARS-CoV-2 migration scenario between and within the three countries chosen, using the multitype bearth-death model implemented in BEAST2.

Genetic polymorphisms of blood donors in Algeria through blood groups ABO, RH, and Kell.

Our study included 2465 blood donors unrelated from both sexes, originating from Msila (Algeria), at Msila Blood Transfusion Center (CTS), with the aim of performing an anthropogenetic characterization of the population of M'sila, by studying the three-erythrocyte polymorphic systems ABO, Rhesus, and Kell with their allele frequencies. This allowed us to demonstrate after a multi-varied comparative analysis through principal components analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) On the one hand, comparing the population of Msila to the different regions of Algeria where we found a genetic proximity with the great south of Algeria going towards the south-east of Algeria. On the other hand, the comparative analysis of Msila's population with other populations in the world based on historical, geographical and cultural profile, by building a tri-hybrid potential parenting model (North Africa, Mediterranean and Middle orient) through the three blood systems, allowed us to identify four potential parents including Egypt and Libya (North Africa) and Saudi Arabia and South Yemen (Middle East), Regarding the third strand of our tri-hybrid model, we did not find any potential parental link with the northern shore of the Mediterranean (southern Europe) despite the historical and geographical link that exists.
