Since 1998, southern Europe has experienced multiple incursions of different serotypes and topotypes of Bluetongue virus, a vector-borne transmitted virus, the causative agent of Bluetongue (BT), a major disease of ruminants. Some of these incursions originated from northern Africa, likely because of wind-blown dissemination of infected midges. In this report, we describe the detection and whole genome characterization of a novel BTV-3 strain identified in a symptomatic sheep in Tunisia. Sequences were immediately deposited with the GenBank Database under Accession Nos KY432369-KY432378. Alert and preparedness are requested to face the next vector seasons in northern Africa and the potential incursion of this novel strain in southern Europe arabic 11 English 57

Abdulatif Asheg(4-2005)

This study amid to determine the prevalence of Salmonella enteritidis and multi-drug resistant in some chicken slaughterhouses in Tripoli -Libya. The study include three regions of Tripoli namely south, East and West regions. Five slaughterhouses were selected from each region. every chicken slaughterhouse was visited 3 time for sample collection with 2 weeks interval. Samples were collected from neck skin, crop and spleen from 5 chicken. Total of samples from all regions were 675. Every 5 samples were processed for isolation and identification by biochemical identification and serotyping and antibiotic sensitivity test. The total rate of isolation of Salmonella spp was found to be 15% and Salmonella enteritidis was 7%. The highest prevalence 9% of Salmonella enteritidis was recorded in south region of Tripoli, however, the highest prevalence of Salmonella spp was found in West region. the prevalence of Salmonella was significantly (P
