Animal leishmaniasis in Algeria: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical parasitic vector-borne disease that has emerged or re-emerged in recent years and is a major health problem. Algeria is a country where leishmaniasis reaches high levels of endemicity. This systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to collect, compile and summarise data on the prevalence of animal leishmaniasis in Algeria.

Abortive diseases and their various associated risk factors in small ruminants in Algeria: a systematic review.

Abortive infections are a major health challenge affecting productive and reproductive performance of sheep and goats. However, there is no comprehensive summary on the occurrence and distribution of these infections in Algeria. This systematic review provides a comprehensive summary on the prevalence of different abortive diseases and assesses potential risk factors in small ruminants in Algeria.

Study of the effectiveness of a presoaking process for reducing the additives migration from babies toys.

This research aims to study a process of steeping in the n-heptane, used for reducing the migration of additives contained initially in toys for babies plasticized with di-octylphtalate (DOP) based on poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) and stabilized with epoxidized sunflower oil (ESO). Two formulations were carried out at different levels of DOP plasticizers (15% and 45%). The migration tests were conducted in the synthetic saliva in the absence and in the presence of α-amylase with or without agitation at 37° C for 1, 3, and 6 h.

Prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection among animals in Algeria: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Toxoplasma gondii is a zoonotic parasite that can infect all warm-blooded animals. It is responsible for considerable economic losses in some regions and farming systems. This review aims to synthesize current findings on the prevalence and risk factors associated with T.

Electrochemical disinfection of bacterial contamination: Effectiveness and modeling study of E. coli inactivation by electro-Fenton, electro-peroxi-coagulation and electrocoagulation.

The present work undertakes an examination and comparison of electro-Fenton (EF), electro-peroxi-coagulation (EPC) and electrocoagulation (EC) applied to the E. coli inactivation in batch reactor. Indeed, platinum (Pt (anode), EF), stainless steel (SS (cathode), EF, EPC) and ordinary steel (Fe (anode), EPC) and aluminum (Al, EC) were used respectively.

Development of a new aerosol phase extraction method for metal determination through inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry.

In this work, a new extraction method termed aerosol phase extraction has been developed for the first time. The new method was based on the nebulisation of the sample onto the extracting solution to maximize the contact surface. The influential parameters are: agitation time, chelating agent concentration and inorganic acid concentration.
