Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on analyzing the molecular and genetic profiles of Theileria annulata, a parasite causing tropical theileriosis in cattle, and its tick vector Hyalomma scupense in Algeria.
  • Researchers collected 40 H. scupense ticks in Medea, finding 5 that tested positive for Theileria spp., which were then further analyzed for genetic variations.
  • The findings included the discovery of two new haplotypes for the tick's 12S rRNA and one new haplotype for COX1, along with a previously identified T. annulata haplotype, enhancing our understanding of the genetic diversity of both the parasite and its vector in the region.

COVID-19 caused an increase in the demand for medications, which led to an increase in pharmaceutical waste and there is no doubt that this contributes to environmental pollution. Hence, it became necessary to search for how to protect and improve the environment by encouraging the behavior of medication waste reduction. Accordingly, this study aims to investigate the factors affecting intentions to reduce medication waste.
