The Corona virus disease 19 (COVID-19) is a new global pandemic. World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a public health emergency of international concern. Health Care Works (HCWs) are the primary sectors in contact with suspected patients. Thus, the knowledge, attitudes and practices of HCWs towards COVID-19 remain unclear. The objectives: To investigate the knowledge, attitudes and practices of Medical doctors about COVID-19 at Tripoli University Teaching Hospitals. Methods: This crosssectional survey was conducted from April 30 to 29 May, the week immediately after first case of COVID-19 reported in Libya. A pilot trail questionnaire was distributed and filled by taking the relevant information from medical staff doctors working at various medical and surgical units. The data coded according to variable and analysed by SPSS. Results: Of (250) participants, a total (100) of Medical staff doctors completed the surve\ (response rate 40%). The participants¶ qualification was (64%) MBBS, (14%) Master degree, (16%) PhD and (6%) professors. the mean age 35 years. (42%) were male and (58%) female participants. Most of the medical staff doctors (70%) were GPs, (22%) were specialists, (6%) were internship doctors and (2%) were consultants. Questionnaire survey revealed that (18%) of the respondents reported working experience of >20 years. The survey was considered if the Medical doctor in frontline healthcare workers (FLHCWs), our results demonstrate that, only 30% of medical staff doctors was provided care of COVID-19 patients while 70% was not in the FLHCWs. Most participants (79%) reported that no specific treatment of COVID-19. A significant proportion of medical doctors (68%) had good knowledge of the transmission, diagnostic method & prevention of COVID-19. According to the case report definition of WHO and ECDC, the survey results showed (69%) of the respondents reported that, the test should be repeated if the first RT-PCR results were negative from the patient represent the typical clinical symptoms of COVID-19. Our questionnaire survey revealed that (68%) of the medical staff doctors¶ participants agree that wearing face masks prevent the infection while (32%) reported that wearing face masks could not prevent the infection. Overall, Medical staff doctors in Tripoli University Teaching Hospital showed expected level of knowledge and attitudes about COVID-19. The findings survey suggests that due to the limited medical staff doctor¶s representative, it must be cautious when generalizing these findings to other medical doctors residing in other regions of the country. As intentional threat of COVID-19 continuous to emerge, the results survey highlights the importance of continuous health educational programs from the government and national health authorities that well improve and updated knowledge of the HCWs regarding COVID-19, which also result in increasing their attitudes and practices towards COVID-19. Further studies are warranted to confirm our findings. arabic 17 English 99

تم إجراء هذه الدراسة بمنطقة الزاوية و التي تبعد 60 كم غرب مدينة طرابلس في مزارع خاصة للأغنام. أجريت الدراسة في الفترة الزمنية من شهر ناصر(يونيو) 2008 إلي شهر هانيبال (أغسطس) 2009. لقد كانت أهداف هذه الدراسة, البحث و التقصي عن موسمية التناسل و تقييم فعالية عدد من المعالجات الهرمونية في إحداث الشبق و توحيده لتحسين الأداء التناسلي للنعاج البربري الليبية. ولتحقيق هذه الأهداف, تم تنفيذ أربع تجارب مستخدمين فيها 475 نعجة بربري ليبية سليمة و خصبة إضافة إلي عشر كباش سليمة وخصبة من نفس السلالة. التجربة الأولى: تم استخدام 300 نعجة لدراسة عن الموسمية التناسلية لهذه النعاج باستخدام البروستاجلاندين α2F (PGF2α ). قسمت الحيوانات إلي أربع مجاميع و حسب فصول السنة (100, 55, 100و 45 نعجة) للصيف, الخريف, الشتاء و الربيع على التوالي, تم تقسيم كل مجموعة من هذه المجاميع إلي مجموعتين (مجموعة المعالجة و مجموعة المراقبة), تم حقن مجموعة المعالجة بجرعتين (125ميكروجرام( من PGF2α بالعضل بفاصل 11 يوما بين الجرعة الأولى و الثانية. بينما تم حقن مجموعة المراقبة 1 مليلتر بالعضل من المحلول الفسيولوجي (NaCl 0.9) بجرعتين بفاصل 11 يوما بينهما. عند الانتهاء من حقن الجرعة الثانية في كلتا المجموعتين, تم إدخال الكباش للتلقيح الطبيعي لمدة ستة أيام. كانت الفترة الزمنية لظهور علامات الشبق بعد الانتهاء من المعالجة (الجرعة الثانية) مختلفة معنويا جدا (P
