impact of three anopheline mosquito species in Toshka, on the introduction of chloroquine / resistant P. Falciparum to Egypt

Malaria still tops the prevalent human arthropod-borne diseases. In Egypt, sporadic cases of human malaria were reported with a focus in Al-Fayoum. Besides, many Egyptian Anopheles species were reported allover which are either malaria vectors or incriminated ones. This study recorded An. multicolor, An. sergentii, and An. algeriensis in Toshka. Many authors reported that A. sergentii is a malaria-vector and A. multicolor is a suspected vector. Consquently, the endemicity of Chloroquine resistant Plasmodium falciparum on the Egyptian-Sudanese border pave the way for malignant malaria transmission particularly among travelers returning back from Sudan

Anti-toxoplasma gondii antibodies in working donkeys and donkey's milk in greater Cairo, Egypt

Toxoplasma gondii is one of the important zoonotic parasites of worldwide zoological and geographical distribution. ELISA prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in Egyptian locally bred working donkeys in greater Cairo was evaluated. The donkeys were 75 females and 25 males aged between 3-10 years. The results showed that ELISA antibodies of T. gondii were found in 45 out of 100 [45%] working donkeys. Donkeys' milk obtained from fifteen pregnant females was T. gondii positive in seven [46.3%]. The zoonotic role of donkeys and their milk were discussed
