  • Research Paper EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SURVEY and EFFECTS of BRUCELLOSIS in SMALL RUMINANTS in SELECTED PASTORAL LANDS of DALABA, GUINEA
    Journal of Global Biosciences ISSN 2320-1355 Volume 9, Number 6, 2020, pp. 7560-7572 Website: www.mutagens.co.in URL: www.mutagens.co.in/jgb/vol.09/06/090610.pdf Research Paper EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SURVEY AND EFFECTS OF BRUCELLOSIS IN SMALL RUMINANTS IN SELECTED PASTORAL LANDS OF DALABA, GUINEA Mama Agnes TEA, Lanan Wassy SOROMOU, Siba BEAVOGUI and Mohamed KEYRA Higher Institute of Sciences and Veterinary Medicine (ISSMV) / Dalaba, BP 09, Republic of Guinea. Abstract Brucellosis is a well-known zoonosis which not only causes serious economic losses on the farms where it occurs, but also represents an ongoing threat to public health. The objective of this work was to collect as much information and data as possible on the epidemiological basis of the Djalonke and Dwarf Guinean breeds in order to propose effective strategies to combat the disease in accordance with the realities on the ground. To achieve this objective, retrospective study, sampling, serological study and statistical analysis were the different methodologies adopted for this purpose. The retrospective study carried out among the different executives made it possible to understand that brucellosis is a disease that is not too well known in the Dalaba prefecture. Most farmers are unaware that this disease is a zoonosis. Out of 157 animals examined, 123 blood samples were taken and 100 sera collected and tested using the EAT or Rose Bengal test were found to be positive (i.e. 36.84% in goats with a maximum confidence interval of 37.47% and minimum 36.20%, and 30.23% in sheep with a maximum confidence interval of 32.26% and minimum 28.19%).

  • 1 Guinea Country Profile
    1 Guinea Country Profile Generic Information: Guinea (pronunciation: ni), officially the Republic of Guinea (French: République de Guinée), is a country in West Africa. Formerly known as French Guinea (French: Guinée française), the modern country is sometimes referred to as Guinea-Conakry in order to distinguish it from other parts of the wider region of the same name, such as Guinea-Bissau and Equatorial Guinea. Guinea has a population of 10.5 million and an area of 245,860 square kilometres (94,927 mi2). Guinea is a republic. The president is directly elected by the people and is head of state and head of government. The unicameral Guinean National Assembly is the legislative body of the country, and its members are also directly elected by the people. The judicial branch is led by the Guinea Supreme Court, the highest and final court of appeal in the country. Guinea is a predominantly Islamic country, with Muslims representing 85 percent of the population. Guinea's people belong to twenty-four ethnic groups. French, the official language of Guinea, is the main language of communication in schools, in government administration, in the media, and among the country's security forces, but more than twenty-four indigenous languages are also spoken. Guinea's economy is largely dependent on agriculture and mineral production. It is the world's second largest producer of bauxite, and has rich deposits of diamonds and gold. Generic country information can be located from sources which are regularly maintained and reflect current facts and figures.
