Reproductive Traits Demonstrate How Well the Mediterranean Stripe-Necked Turtle Can Flourish under Highly Degraded-Polluted Conditions.

We measured and compared the reproductive traits of the Mediterranean stripe-necked turtles living in highly degraded-polluted vs. intact natural habitats in Algeria. Data on reproduction were obtained by using X-ray examination of gravid females and examination of nests.

Investigation of flukes (Fasciola hepatica and Paramphistomum sp.) parasites of cattle in north-eastern Algeria.

Fasciolosis due to Fasciola hepatica is one of the dominant pathologies in Algeria. On the other hand, gastroduodenal paramphistomosis are little studied and little known. Our work consisted of an epidemiological survey in the Souk-Ahras region to investigate these two parasites in cattle.

Chemical Composition and Acaricidal Activity of the Essential Oils of Some Plant Species of and against the Vector of Tropical Bovine Theileriosis: (syn. ).

The present study aimed to investigate the acaricidal properties of six essential oils. They were extracted from some plant species ( and ) using the technique of hydrodistillation with the Clevenger apparatus. The chemical compositions of the essential oils under study were determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS).

Bio-insecticidal effects of Oleaster leaves aqueous extracts against Psylla larvae (Euphyllura olivina (Costa)), a primary pest of Olea europaea L.

Many plant species produce phenolic compounds in their various organs and their use in crop protection. These plant secondary metabolites may serve as toxins against the insect pests. The objective of this study was to evaluate in vitro the bio-insecticidal effect of an aqueous extract of wild Olive leaves on Psylla larvae (Euphyllura olivina), a primary pest of the cultivated Olive tree (Olea europaea L.

Antifungal activity of essential oils extract from Origanum floribundum Munby, Rosmarinus officinalis L. and Thymus ciliatus Desf. against Candida albicans isolated from bovine clinical mastitis.

Objective: The aim of this study is to limit the antibiotic use in mastitis treatment and to find other alternatives. The antifungal activity of the essential oils from Origanum floribundum Munby., Rosmarinus officinalis L.
