Distribution of benthic macroinvertebrate communities in different kind of inland water bodies in northeastern Algeria
Braz J Biol. 2024 Mar 22;84:e273662. doi: 10.1590/1519-6984.273662. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTBenthic macroinvertebrates are integral parts of inland waters, inhabiting a diversity of aquatic ecosystems where communities are spatially structured. Macroinvertebrates of some Mediterranean regions such as North Africa are still not well studied. Due this reason we proposed study the community structure in water bodies located in Northeastern Algeria. For this objective, we sampled 12 different kind of water bodies, two dams, three rivers, and seven streams during the period from October 2020 to September 2021. To biotic and ab...

The financial cost of coccidiosis in Algerian chicken production: A major challenge for the poultry sector
In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis to evaluate the financial losses associated with Eimeria infection in chickens in Algeria, relying on data provided by key stakeholders in the Algerian poultry industry to assess sub-clinical as well as clinical impact. The updated 2020 version of a model established to estimate the cost of coccidiosis in chickens was employed, taking into consideration specific cultural and technical aspects of poultry farming in Algeria.The findings predict economic losses due to coccidiosis in chickens of approximately UK £86.7 million in Algeria for the year 2022, representing UK £...

Impacts of microwave-assisted extraction parameters on total phenolic compounds yield from Algerian < em > Moringa oleifera < /em > leaves, using response surface methodology
Nat Prod Res. 2024 Mar 23:1-9. doi: 10.1080/14786419.2024.2333044. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe study aimed to optimise the microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) of total phenolic compounds (TPC) from Moringa oleifera Lam. leaves using response surface methodology (RSM) and Box-Behnken designs (BBD). Factors such as ethanol concentration, microwave power, irradiation time, and solvent to solid ratio were assessed in single-factor tests. Under optimal extraction conditions (48.86% ethanol, 626.53 W microwave power, 99.48 s irradiation, 29.67 mL/g solvent to solid ratio and 21.12 W/mL power density), TPC was 58.45 ± 0.68...

Association study of the polymorphisms rs2228611 of the DNMT1 gene and rs1569686 of the DNMT3B gene with bladder cancer development in a sample of the Algerian population
In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of the polymorphisms rs2228611 of the DNMT1 gene and rs1569686 of the DNMT3B gene on the susceptibility to develop Bladder Cancer in the Algerian population. A case-control study design was adopted, with DNA samples of 114 BC patients and 123 healthy controls. We found that the rs2228611 of the DNMT1 gene was strongly associated with an increased risk of BC development under genetic models: Codominant AG vs. GG (OR=2.54, 95% CI=1.21-5.51, adj p=0.015) and dominant AA+AG vs. GG (OR=2.24, 95% CI=1.12-4.60, adj p=0.023). However, no statistically significant association was obser...

Prevalence and associated risk factors of anti-Coxiella burnetii antibodies in dairy cattle herds using bulk tank milk analysis in Kabylia area, north Algeria
AbstractCoxiella burnetii, or Q fever agent, has notable implications for human and livestock health. Infections in cattle primarily manifest through reproductive issues where infected animals shed the bacterium in birth fluids, placental tissues, and milk, serving as potential sources of transmission. Bovine herds become reservoirs, contributing to the environmental contamination of farming areas. Comprehensive studies on the prevalence, transmission routes, and associated risk factors among cattle contribute to the development of effective control strategies, ultimately safeguarding both livestock and public health.Here ...

Nutritional factors affecting camel (Camelus dromedarius) milk composition
AbstractSaharan population in Algeria still depending on bovine milk, which suffers from serious constraints undermining its sustainability.Camelus dromedarius milk has experienced growing demand following the emerging market requirements for livestock production and dairy farming over the past decade. The present work aimed at analysing the effect of nutritional regime on milk quality. The differences in pH, Acidity D °, Ash and Fats were significant. The pH was negatively influenced by the intensification conditions such as the much higher use of concentrates. The major constituents of milk were strongly and positively ...
