Article Abstract
Fasciolosis is a significant zoonotic and common parasitic disease for animals and humans, creating public health concerns worldwide. This study retrieved articles related to the occurrence of and in sheep and goats in China by searching five databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect, the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, and the VIP Chinese Journal Database. A total of 60 valid articles were captured. The pooled prevalence of ovine and caprine fasciolosis was 26.00%. It was also found to be higher in the subgroups of Northwest China and Shaanxi Province, as well as in areas with a high altitude, rainfall of ≥800 mm, and temperature ranging between 10 °C and 20 °C. Analysis of the type of season and sampling years showed significant ( < 0.05) difference. In other subgroups, sheep (34.74%), hosts aged over 2 years (32.26%), females (48.33%) and free-range animals (26.83%) showed a higher disease prevalence. These results indicated that ovine and caprine fasciolosis was widely distributed, especially in Northwest China. The sampling years and the type of season are risk factors for the prevalence of ovine and caprine fasciolosis. Therefore, strategies for ovine and caprine fasciolosis control should be developed based on these epidemic risk factors, which will reduce the prevalence of fasciolosis in China.

Background And Aim: Bluetongue virus (BTV), an arbovirus of major economic importance, affects domestic and wild ruminants globally and is primarily transmitted by Culicoides biting midges. The virus is endemic in many regions, yet limited data are available for Saudi Arabia. This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of BTV antibodies in cattle, goats, sheep, and camels across two ecologically distinct regions in central Saudi Arabia and to assess species- and region-specific risk profiles.

This technical note describes a small ruminant respiration chamber system designed to accurately quantify the production of carbon dioxide (CO) and methane (CH). The system consists of 3 open-circuit respiration chambers, flow meters, gas analyzers, and an accessible environmental control system. To validate its performance, gas recovery tests were conducted by injecting CO and CH at 4 constant flow rates: 0.

Many species from the genus are causative agents of the bacterial zoonosis brucellosis. Until recently, it was generally believed that these bacteria exhibit strict host specificity; however, recent findings suggest otherwise. is an atypical species, no threat to humans, with a broad host spectrum, primarily found in wildlife and rodents, and is the only species isolated from soil, aquatic environments, and frogs, suggesting its environmental persistence and adaptability to diverse ecological niches.

spp. infections in livestock are a significant yet underrecognized threat to both animal and human health in Brazil. This systematic review aimed to identify and synthesize available data on the geographical distribution, host species, age groups, diagnostic methods, infection rates, and species and subtypes identified, as well as to assess potential associations with diarrhea and the zoonotic impact of infections in production animals.

Rickettsia spp. are Gram-negative obligate intracellular bacteria, with Rickettsia africae being transmitted by Amblyomma ticks and posing a zoonotic risk. The status of diseases like rickettsiosis is largely unknown in Somalia.
