Soil-transmitted helminth infections in free-ranging non-human primates from Cameroon and Gabon
BACKGROUND: Zoonotic diseases are a serious threat to both public health and animal conservation. Most non-human primates (NHP) are facing …
Article scientifique
The effect of cattle-administered ivermectin and fipronil on the mortality and fecundity of Anopheles arabiensis Patton
BACKGROUND: Malaria control primarily depends on two vector control strategies: indoor residual spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs). Both …

An update on the distribution of Glossina (tsetse flies) at the wildlife-human-livestock interface of Akagera National Park, Rwanda
BACKGROUND: Glossina (tsetse flies) biologically transmit trypanosomes that infect both humans and animals. Knowledge of their distribution patterns is a …
Article scientifique
Genetic diversity of vector-borne pathogens in spotted and brown hyenas from Namibia and Tanzania relates to ecological conditions rather than host taxonomy
BACKGROUND: Improved knowledge on vector-borne pathogens in wildlife will help determine their effect on host species at the population and …
