Fasciolosis in Algerian livestock: Epidemiological trends and economic consequences.

Fasciolosis, a parasitic disease of ruminants, poses significant economic and animal-health challenges in Algeria. This study aimed to assess spatial, temporal, and species-specific patterns of fasciolosis prevalence across diverse agro-climatic zones and to estimate associated economic losses. Between 2013 and 2023, eight wilayas El-Tarf, Skikda, Jijel (Region I), Blida, Mila (Region II), and M'Sila, Medea, Laghouat (Region III) were surveyed.

Spatiotemporal Dynamics and Epidemiology of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Algeria (2011-2020): One Health Insights for Targeted Interventions.

Purpose: The epidemiology of human cutaneous leishmaniasis, a parasitic disease transmitted by sandflies, varies across regions, particularly affecting tropical and subtropical areas, with significant seasonal and demographic fluctuations. This study explores the temporal, seasonal, demographic, and spatial distribution of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in the wilaya of Medea, Algeria, from 2011 to 2020.

Methods: The epidemiological data for this retrospective study were provided by the Prevention Service of the Directorate of Public Health (DSP) in Medea.

Role of Respiratory Viruses in Severe Acute Respiratory Failure.

Respiratory viruses are widespread in the community, affecting both the upper and lower respiratory tract. This review provides an updated synthesis of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical impact, and management of severe respiratory viral infections in critically ill patients, with a focus on immunocompetent adults. The clinical presentation is typically nonspecific, making etiological diagnosis challenging.

A comprehensive analysis of fasciolosis prevalence and risk factors in humans and animals: First report in Algeria.

This systematic review and meta-analysis examined 27 studies published between 2003 and 2024 to assess the prevalence of infestation in various animal species in Algeria. Diagnostic methods included liver inspection (16 studies), ELISA (7 studies), coproscopy (4 studies), bile microscopy (1 study), and abattoir data analysis (1 study). For humans, coproscopy and immunoelectrophoresis (IEP) were used in one study in Algiers.
